Canon EF L Series 28-80mm f/2.8-4 Lens

The Canon EF 28–80mm f/2.8–4 L USM is a hidden gem of the early EOS system, offering fast aperture performance and professional L-series optics in a compact, versatile zoom range. Originally released in the early 1990s, this lens was Canon’s first standard zoom to earn the prestigious red ring—and it shows, with crisp resolution, saturated color rendering, and excellent sharpness even wide open.

Ideal for everyday shooting, the 28–80mm range gives you true wide-angle to short telephoto coverage on full-frame Canon bodies, making it a great walkaround lens for travel, portraits, or street photography. The fast f/2.8 aperture at the wide end gives you the low-light and background separation performance that modern variable-aperture zooms just can’t touch. And thanks to the ring-type USM autofocus motor, it focuses quickly, silently, and precisely—especially important for capturing candid moments or working with film bodies like the EOS-1V or Elan 7E.

Condition: Excellent

• Optics are clean with no haze, fungus, or separation
• A few internal dust particles, typical for Canon L zooms of this era
• Focus and zoom rings operate smoothly
• Minor cosmetic marks on exterior from normal handling
