• Initial launch information.

An unusual focal length range from Canon's pre-digital EF lens range. It was released as one of two kit lenses for the Canon EOS IX Lite, an APS-format film SLR, but is fully EF compatible.

Lens is somewhat cheap feeling compared to modern EF lenses, and quality not exceptional

It’s also perfect as your regular wide-angle lens. When the lens is attached to an EOS Advanced Photo System SLR camera, the 35mm equivalent f

gth is 28-69mm."
