Canon unveils RF16-28mm F2.8 IS STM, a new full-frame RF mount wide-angle zoom lens
Canon has announced the RF16-28mm F2.8 IS STM, a new full-frame RF mount wide-angle zoom lens for the EOS R mirrorless system. Equipped with a bright f/2.8 constant aperture, the RF16-28mm F2.8 IS STM is Canon’s second lens with constant aperture zoom lens.
Key features
Canon claims that the RF16-28mm F2.8 IS STM will be the first of its class to supercharge these features with a bright, constant f/2.8 aperture. Previously only available on prime lenses or professional-grade lenses, it is now possible for creators who are on a tight budget to create bokeh or shoot in low light with increased control over exposure settings, regardless if they are creating dramatic compositions at 16mm or more natural-looking context-filled portraits at 28mm.
The lens can also be utilised as a constant aperture standard zoom lens when paired with APS-C cameras, offering a versatile full-frame equivalent focal range of 25.6mm to 44.8mm, ideal for landscapes, street and documentary, everyday life, and portraiture.
Designed to be compact and lightweight, the RF16-28mm F2.8 IS STM is around 9.1cm long when fully retracted, and weighs about 445g. It can also be fitted onto a gimbal, creating a lighter and user-friendly setup that is ideal for travel, hikes, and exploration.
When using compatible cameras such as the EOS R6 Mark II, the lens’ built-in optical image stabiliser (Optical IS) supports peripheral coordinated control, which corrects the blurring that occurs in the edges of the image that characteristically occurs when shooting stills with wide-angle lenses, says Canon.The new lens from Canon is priced at Rs 1,08,495
