Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM Lens

This Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM lens is an ultra-wide-angle zoom designed for full-frame and APS-C EOS cameras. It suits landscape, architecture and interior photographers who need a constant f/4 aperture across the 17-40mm focal range. The L-series build includes water and dust resistance for demanding environments.

Check Mount and Filter Thread

Verify your camera uses the Canon EF mount before ordering. The lens accepts 77 mm filters at the front thread. Autofocus is driven by an ultrasonic motor with full-time manual focus override. There is no image stabilisation, so consider your typical shutter speeds and lighting conditions.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

The lens draws power from the camera body for autofocus and aperture control with negligible impact on battery life. Internal focusing and zooming keep the barrel length constant, preventing air movement that could affect balance. Ultrasonic motor operation is quiet during focus acquisition. No active cooling is required.
