The Canon EF 16-35mm F2.8L II USM is a high performance, water-resistant, ultra wide-angle Canon L-series lens. It features 3 aspherical elements, internal focusing and a ring-type ultrasonic focus motor with full-time manual focus. This Mark II version of the 16-35mm gives markedly better image quality than its predecessor the original EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM.
