Canon has announced three new lenses, two of which are very special. These are a 200-800mm zoom lens and a 24-105mm zoom lens with f/2.8 throughout the range. The third is a lens in the RFS series, designed for APS-C cameras. This is the 10-18mm wide-angle zoom.

Canon RF 10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM

The RF10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM seems the least spectacular of the three. For photographers with an APS-C mirrorless camera, however, it is a very useful lens. It is the ultra-wide-angle lens people have been waiting for.

The lens is small and compact, and weighs just 150 grams. It fits in with the similar lenses in this RFS lens series. At 10mm, it can even achieve 0.5x magnification, but only with manual focus.

The recommended retail price of this lens is 409.99 euros, and it will be available from December 2023.

Canon RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM

The RF200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM is a white super telephoto zoom lens with a range that extends all the way to 800mm. Although it is a white lens, it is not an L-series zoom lens. The characteristic red ring is missing.

As it is not an L lens, this is also reflected in the price. The recommended retail price is 2,499 euros, and the lens will be available from December 2023.

Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z

The last one may be the most special lens in this series of new RF zoom lenses. It is the RF 24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z. This lens has f/2.8 throughout the entire zoom range, while the lens also remains the same length.

You can use this lens with a power zoom for motorised zoom movements. It also has a physical aperture ring, which makes it clear that this lens is also aimed at videography.

The recommended retail price of this lens is 3,659.99 euros, and it will be available from December 2023. The separate power zoom modules, of which there are two types, cost 1,219.99 euros and 1,629.99 euros respectively.

One final fact about these three lenses. The RFS 10-18mm has four stops of image stabilisation, while the other two can stabilise up to 5.5 stops. This becomes six and 7.5 stops when they are combined with a camera with built-in image stabilisation.

Great addition, this trio! Nice, concrete bit of information, thanks for that. After many detours through mirrorless country with m43, apsc and FF experiences, I am back with the R10, where I once started with Canon with the EOS 620, EOS5, EOS3, EOS 20D and 80D. With a cabinet full of EF/EF-S lenses and flashes, a wonderfully compact and complete set. Although the EF series works fine, I was still looking for an RF-S replacement for my trusty 10-18. It is here now. Curious about the focus stacking and pano quality of this mini zoom.
