The EF 24mm f2.8 IS USM lens is the world's first wide-angle prime with Image Stabilisation and features a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture that is perfect for landscape, travel and documentary photography. Canon's Image Stabilisation allows the use of shutter speeds up to four stops slower than usual and the USM (Ultrasonic Motor) provides fast, near-silent focusing with full-time manual focus override for fine adjustment without changing focus modes. A seven-bladed circular aperture provides beautiful bokeh, while Super Spectra coatings reduce flare. The Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM's classic prime-lens design minimises distortion and aberrations, which can degrade image quality. Weighing in at just 280g and measuring 68.4mm x 55.7mm, the Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM is a great low-light performer that you can take with you everywhere. This lens is suitable for use with both full-frame and cropped sensor (APS-C) cameras.

Key Features:

  • A 24mm wide-angle lens suited to landscape and reportage photography.
  • Field of view equivalent to a 38mm lens on DSLRs with APS-C sized sensors.
  • Work with shallow depth of field and in low light with a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture.
  • Shoot hand-held flash-free images at shutter speeds up to four stops slower with Image Stabilizer technology.
  • Ultrasonic AF motor for fast, near-silent focusing and full-time manual focus.
  • Seven diaphragm blades generate a circular aperture for beautiful background blur.
  • Super Spectra coatings reduce ghosting and flare.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.

During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.

Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
