LEGEND
ALA special lens element with a surface curved with the ideal shape to correct spherical aberrations, i.e., a lens having a free-curved surface which is not spherical, is called an aspherical lens.
FTMFull Time Manual Focus. This allows the lens to be manually focused without leaving automatic focus mode and without damaging the lens. This works best with cameras that can shift the autofocus from the shutter release to another button.
I/RInner/Rear focusing ring. Focusing is performed by moving one or more lens groups positioned between the front lens group and the diaphragm.
ISImage Stabilizer. Allows the lens to sense movement from "shake" or vibrations, and instantly apply an optical correction by moving a group of lens elements.
USMUltraSonic Motor
EFElectro-Focus. EF-series lenses for Canon EOS series. Bayonet mount with three outer lugs.
