Choose from one of the world's most comprehensive selection of lenses - including telephoto, macro, fisheye, and tilt/shift - to capture amazing stills and stunning video with incredible clarity and brilliant colors.

Ultra Wide Zoom

Broaden your perspective with one of these lenses. The wide angle allows you to bring more area into focus and provides greater depth of field. The zoom range allows you to make small adjustments to the coverage of your shot for more creative control.

Standard Zoom

Designed for EF-Mount and PL-Mount Cinema Cameras, Canon Cinema Compact Zoom Lenses provide high mobility while offering outstanding 4K optical performance.

Telephoto Zoom

Telephoto zoom lenses allow you to capture details normally missed by the eye. Capture the far off action of fast-paced sports or zoom in for an intimate portrait with a blurred background. The unique property of these lenses to compress images allows you to create a variety of impressive images.

Wide-Angle

These lenses let you capture more by broadening the angle of view and increasing the depth of field bringing more area into focus. By expanding the apparent distance between the foreground and background, they provide a unique perspective. Their exceptional compactness allows for greater mobility.

Standard & Medium Telephoto

For a more natural angle of view and perspective, choose from one of these lenses. These lenses will provide you with the image closest to how your eye perceives the subject and they are excellent for portraits and for giving images natural depth of field.

Super Telephoto

Nothing quite compares to the amount of dimension a super telephoto lens can bring to a photograph. All the lenses in the category are part of the L-series, incorporating superior lens construction and USM for quiet, high-speed autofocusing.

Macro

To bring small things into full-sized view, select from one of the lenses in this category. Macro lenses can uncover detail that would be impossible to detect by the eye and give new perspective to extremely minute subjects such as insects or the petals of a small flower.

Tilt-Shift

These lenses expand photographic possibilities. Tilt movements allow you to obtain a wide depth of field even at the maximum aperture and still keep the entire subject in focus. Shift movements correct the trapezoidal effect seen in pictures taken of tall objects, so as not to distort the subject.
