It looks like Canon has decided to bless Canon shooters with some new goods by announcing the release of two new zoom lenses and a white version of the EOS Rebel SL1. The first lens is a full-frame f4 EF mount L-series lens that should be an alternative to their 16-35mm f2.8L lens. Built like other L Series lenses, it’s designed with weather resistances to dust and water when conditions aren’t always ideal. It also sports a nine blade aperture, two UD Elements, and three aspherical elements, which should help to create high contrast images.
Canon didn’t leave out the cropped frame shooters, announcing a new ultra-wide angle APS-C L zoom lens too. The new EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 lens is considered an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, and as BH & H states, “The optical system comprises a “large-diameter” lens element, as well as one aspherical and one UD element to control aberrations and create high-resolution, high-contrast images. Enhanced lens coatings also improve color balance while minimizing ghosting and flare.”
You would think with the announcement of the two lenses, Canon would have called it a day, but they announced that they would release a new Rebel SL1 color option for Canon shooters in the US by releasing an all white version of the EOS Rebel SL1. If you’re in need of some new gear, head on over to Canon’s website for prices and specs for these latest products here.
