Canon EF 20mm f/2.8 USM
Canon EF 20mm f/2.8 USM is a full-frame wide-angle prime with a bright f/2.8 aperture and autofocus. This EF-mount lens was a compact, relatively fast ultra-wide option in Canon’s film-era line-up, giving a dramatic 94-degree diagonal field of view on full frame and still a strong wide angle on APS-C bodies. It uses Canon’s USM motor for quick, quiet focusing, and the lens also offers full-time manual focus override, which remains handy for precise framing. Handling is straightforward: the lens is solidly built, takes 72mm filters, and focuses down to 0.25m for foreground-heavy compositions and environmental work. Optically it is known more for a lively, characterful wide-angle look than for modern corner-to-corner correction, so expect some distortion, vignetting wide open and visible flare if the front element is stressed by strong light. It suits travel, interiors, landscapes and reportage where a compact rectilinear wide angle is wanted. On the used market, check autofocus smoothness, aperture blade cleanliness, front and rear element scratches, haze or fungus, and the usual wear around the mount and filter threads.
