Standard zooms & all-rounders – flexible for everyday use & travel
Standard zoom lenses are among the most popular lens types for Canon DSLR cameras – and for good reason: they cover the classic focal length range from wide-angle to mild telephoto, making them ideal for everyday use, travel, events or reportage. The variable focal length ensures flexibility when changing subjects without having to constantly swap lenses.
Canon offers a wide range of tried-and-tested models for this purpose:
- EF 24–70mm f/2.8L II USM: fast professional zoom with first-class sharpness
- EF 24–105mm f/4L IS II USM: tried-and-tested L-series zoom for full-frame
- EF-S 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6 IS USM: flexible zoom for APS-C with quiet Nano-USM
- EF 24–105mm f/3.5–5.6 IS STM: a compact alternative with smooth focus operation
With built-in image stabilisation, precise autofocus and robust construction, these lenses are reliable companions – even in changing light conditions and during extended use.
Fast prime lenses – brilliant look for portraits and more
Prime lenses offer maximum image quality, high light transmission and creative control over depth of field. They are particularly popular in portrait photography, for reportage or in available-light situations – in other words, wherever there is little light but plenty of atmosphere.
Canon offers a wide range of prime lenses for the DSLR system:
- EF 50mm f/1.8 STM: compact, lightweight, ideal for getting started in portrait photography
- EF 85mm f/1.4L IS USM: impressive bokeh and image stabilisation for demanding portraits
- EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM: fast wide-angle lens with a natural look
- EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM: sharp telephoto macro for details, portraits and nature
Thanks to their high light transmission, these lenses deliver attractive bokeh, fast shutter speeds and excellent sharpness.
Telephoto & super-telephoto lenses – greater reach for sport & nature
If you want to capture distant subjects with razor-sharp clarity, high-quality telephoto lenses are essential. Canon offers a wide selection of telephoto and super-telephoto lenses for the DSLR system – ideal for nature, wildlife and sports photography. They are characterised by high light intensity, excellent optical performance and precise autofocus.
Popular models for professional use:
- EF 70–200mm f/2.8L IS III USM: fast, bright and versatile
- EF 100–400mm f/4.5–5.6L IS II USM: flexible super-telephoto with impressive sharpness
- EF 300mm f/2.8L IS II USM: uncompromising quality for action and wildlife photography
- EF 600mm f/4L IS III USM: maximum reach with surprisingly low weight
Whether you want to capture birds in flight, scenes on the pitch or detailed landscape shots – with a Canon telephoto lens, you can bring even distant subjects right up close.
TS-E Tilt-Shift Lenses – maximum control for architecture & studio
Canon’s TS-E lenses offer you unique possibilities for precisely controlling perspective and the plane of focus. They are particularly used in architectural, product and studio photography where maximum precision and creative freedom are required.
Canon currently offers the following models for the DSLR system:
- TS-E 17mm f/4L: extremely wide-angle, ideal for architecture and interiors
- TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II: classic tilt-shift for architectural and landscape photography
- TS-E 50mm, 90mm and 135mm Macro: with macro function for studio, product and technical photography
By shifting and repositioning the optical axes, converging lines can be avoided or deliberately utilised – a tool for anyone seeking absolute control over their images.
Extensions & accessories for your Canon DSLR system
A good lens is part of the basic kit – but with the right accessories, you can expand your Canon DSLR system in specific ways. Various extensions are available for special shooting situations such as macro photography, greater reach or manual lens adjustments:
- Teleconverters such as the Canon Extender EF 1.4x or 2x extend the focal length of your telephoto lens – ideal for sports and wildlife
- Extension rings enable extremely short minimum focusing distances for creative macro shots
- Lens adapters allow older or third-party lenses to be used on modern DSLR bodies
In addition, you’ll find many practical additions for your everyday photography in Foto Siegl’s range of accessories.
