Together with the launch of the new touch-screen EOS 650D DSLR, Canon is launching two new EF lenses. (Pricing & Availability to be announced later).
Canon EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens
The Canon EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM features reduced chromatic aberration with the inclusion of one UD lens element and one PMo aspherical lens element.
Pricing and availability of these two lenses will be announced at a later date. The info will be updated in this box as and when available.
Update (13 June): The EF40mm f/2.8 STM will be available from tomorrow at S$299.
When used with the Movie Servo AF of the Canon EOS 650D, it also offers smooth, speedy and quiet focusing while recording.
This is achieved with the development of a new six-group zoom system, and the adoption of a stepping motor and focus mechanism.
Along with it, the Dynamic IS system features an expanded correction range, with image stabilization equivalent to 4 stops of light, which proves very useful when shooting subjects on the move.
Canon EF40mm f/2.8 STM lens
The EF40mm f/2.8 STM comes in an ultra-compact and lightweight design, with a diameter of 68.2mm, a thickness of 22.8mm and weighing 130g, making it the slimmest and lightest EF lens produced.
A fast f/2.8 aperture, 7-blade circular aperture and aspherical lens elements enable the lens to achieve a high level of image quality from centre to corner.
