Canon has announced a new lens. The RF 16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM is a fast ultra-wide-angle zoom with creative impact, as the manufacturer calls it.
The RF 16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM is a full-frame ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that is fast and weather-resistant. It is compact and lightweight, making it easy to take with you.
When retracted, this new lens measures just 9.1 centimetres. This makes it very suitable for anyone who travels a lot or wants to pack an extra lens. It weighs just 445 grams.
The 5.5-stop image stabilisation becomes no less than 8 stops when combined with an IBIS system. Canon promises excellent image quality with sharp, high-contrast images. The aperture has 9 blades for beautiful bokeh.
The lens will be available from February 2025 at a recommended retail price of 1,319.99 euros.
