About the Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Lens
Canon's EF 28mm f/1.8 lens offers excellent low-light picture-taking capability and delivers clear, detailed photos. Its 28mm focal length provides versatile wide-angle shooting for 35mm film and full-frame digital SLRs, letting you capture full-length portraits or an entire room with a single shot. Or use it as a standard lens with an APS-C camera for great everyday shooting — it produces a field of view similar to that of the naked eye. This lens' large maximum aperture also makes it ideal for flash-free indoor photography. And Canon's ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) gives you fast, silent autofocus.

Features
Overview: The Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM is an ultra-wide-angle lens.
Compatibility: The EF 28mm f/1.8 USM is an EF Canon lens; meaning it's compatible with all Canon digital SLRs (those that accept EF and EF-S lenses, plus those that accept EF only), as well as Canon EOS film SLRs.
Lens Construction: The Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM features a lens construction with 10 elements in 9 groups.
Angle Of View:
- Diagonal: 75°
- Vertical: 46°
- Horizontal: 65°
Ultrasonic Motor (USM): With the Ultrasonic Motor (USM), you can expect fast and quiet focusing capability.
Auto/Manual Focus: To shoot in Autofocus mode, set the focus mode switch on the lens to AF. To manually focus the camera, set the switch to MF, and focus by turning the focusing ring. The focusing ring always works, regardless of the focus mode.
Focusing Range: You can set the focusing distance range from 0.82' (10") to infinity. By setting a suitable focusing distance range, the autofocusing time will be shorter.
Infinity Compensation Mark: To compensate for shifting of the infinity focus point that results from changes in temperature, the lens features an Infinity Compensation Mark. The infinity position at normal temperature is the point at which the vertical line of the L mark is aligned with the distance indicator on the distance scale.
Infrared Index: The infrared index corrects the focus setting when using monochrome infrared film. Focus on the subject manually, then adjust the distance setting by moving the focusing ring to the corresponding infrared index mark.
Optional Accessories: You can attach optional 58mm filters to the mounting thread on the front of the lens. You can also attach the optional Canon EW-63II lens hood.

Good prime lens at a decent price, compact but doesn't feel cheap, great for low-light situations, good bokeh. As always, great customer service and quick delivery from Crutchfield. Very happy with my purchase
