Why we recommend this

A constant f/1.8 aperture across its 18-35mm zoom range makes this lens a unique APS-C workhorse, delivering full-frame-equivalent depth of field control and low-light performance unmatched by standard zooms. Its optical design, incorporating 4 aspherical and 5 SLD elements, ensures high sharpness and contrast, while the Hyper Sonic Motor provides fast, quiet autofocus. This lens is best for portrait and event photographers using Canon EF-mount APS-C bodies who need a single, bright zoom to replace multiple fast primes.
