Canon RF 16-28mm F2.8 IS STM Lens: Capture More with Speed and Stability
Expand your creative vision in both photography and videography with the Canon RF 16-28mm F2.8 IS STM lens. This ultra-wide zoom lens for Canon's RF mount offers a bright constant f/2.8 aperture, powerful image stabilization, and fast, quiet autofocus in a compact and versatile package, making it ideal for capturing everything from sweeping landscapes to dynamic video content.
The versatile 16-28mm focal range allows you to capture a dramatically wide perspective, perfect for emphasizing scale in broad landscapes, fitting more into tight interior spaces, or creating dynamic wide-angle shots for video. The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture provides consistent exposure throughout the zoom range and excels in low-light conditions, allowing you to shoot with faster shutter speeds or lower ISOs. It also contributes to a pleasing shallow depth of field and beautiful bokeh, helping your subjects stand out.
Whether you're shooting stills or video, the RF 16-28mm F2.8 IS STM is designed for hybrid use. The impressive 5.5 stops of Image Stabilization effectively minimizes camera shake, allowing you to shoot handheld in challenging lighting conditions or at slower shutter speeds without sacrificing sharpness. This is invaluable for capturing steady footage or sharp photos on the go.
Experience smooth and quiet autofocus with the STM (Stepping Motor) and Lead Screw system. This combination provides fast, accurate focusing that is nearly silent, making it perfect for video recording where focus noise can be distracting. Enjoy seamless transitions when pulling focus or tracking moving subjects.
Despite its bright aperture and wide zoom range, the RF 16-28mm F2.8 IS STM maintains a compact and lightweight design, making it a portable addition to your gear bag. Its durable construction ensures reliable performance for your photographic adventures.
