Canon is one of the recognized leaders in the arena of photographic equipment. The brand's top lenses for interchangeable-lens cameras are recognizable against their peers by the red ring around the frame. It denotes representatives of the "luxury" series Luxury. In the expanded name of a particular model, the letter of the Latin alphabet L is indicated exactly after information about the maximum aperture of the lens.

Canon's "luxury" family of lenses use high-end optical elements and lens coatings throughout. Usually, the optics of the series are produced in a dust- and moisture-proof design, have a high constant aperture regardless of the zoom ratio, are equipped with an effective optical stabilization system (with the exception of a number of fixed lenses) and silent drives of the automatic focus system (USM ultrasonic motor or stepper motor STM).

The red ring around the rim is a recognizable feature of the appearance of the “luxurious” Canon L lenses.

Long-range "reporters" Canon L are made in a white body, all other lenses of the "luxury" detachment are painted in traditional black. The series includes models of any purpose, both for the park of full-frame DSLRs of the Japanese brand, and for the brand's cavalry of mirrorless cameras with a full frame format matrix. Of course, they are not cheap, but you will not find equal Luxury optics in terms of the nature of the pattern during the day with fire.
