Canon announce EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM and EF 40mm F2.8 STM

Canon has developed the EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM and EF 40mm F2.8 STM specially for video. It equipped with stepper motors to enable fast, quiet focus, particularly with the contrast-detection method of autofocus used for live view and video.

It also packed with electromagnetic diaphragms - allowing smooth and accurate control over aperture for video shooting.

The lenses will be available from late June 2012, with the 18-135mm STM costing $549 (Approximately RM1650) and the 40mm F2.8 STM costing $199 (RM600). For key specification for the lens, hit the source below!
