At the heart of the Canon 35 millimeter 20x optical zoom lens is a fluorite lens, which utilizes fluorite, a material that provides outstanding resolution, contrast, and color reproduction -- especially in lightweight, high-magnification lenses. Fluorite delivers the ultimate in clarity and image quality and defeats color aberration -- an effect that causes a reduction in sharpness, contrast and color. The fluorite lens provides a level of precise lighting control that is unobtainable with conventional optical glass. The Canon 35 millimeter 20x optical zoom lens features a fast aperture of f1.6, variable to f3.5 at full telephoto. This maximum aperture aids in capturing quality video in low light conditions. And since no lens would be complete without filter compatibility, the Canon 35 millimeter 20x optical zoom lens is equipped with a standard 72 millimeter filter thread, offering the availability of a wide array of filters.
