This compact, high ratio zoom lens was developed along with the EF28-200mm f/3.5-5.6 USM lens and is identical to it except that a DC motor is used instead of the USM for focusing. The optical and operational specifications are the same also.
The silver ring at the front of the zoom ring presents high-quality appearance, and the optical system uses only environmentally friendly lead-free glass.
