As prime lenses have a fixed focal length, it means that they are less complex than a zoom lens. This means that they have less optical aberrations, leading to a cleaner and sharper image.

They also provide better portability than a zoom lens. All of our Canon prime lenses encourage superb prime lens photography by being smaller, more portable and easier to carry.

If you need help finding a lens or don’t understand the specifications, take a look at our How to Read a Canon Lens guide.
