The Canon RF 28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM Lens offers a fast f/2.8 aperture and a versatile zoom range, making it suitable for various types of content creation. Its 28-70mm range is ideal for landscapes, portraits, and more. The lens features image stabilization to help reduce camera shake, ensuring sharp images even in challenging conditions. With L-series quality optics, this lens maintains a compact size while delivering excellent performance at a competitive price point.
L-Series
Canon has designed the RF 28-70mm lens to match the optical performance of their renowned L-series lenses, achieving impressive results in a compact form. The advanced optical design ensures that detailed imagery is captured across the entire zoom range, even at wide-open apertures. This combination of quality and size makes it an exceptional choice for content creators seeking both performance and portability.
Body Design
The RF 28-70mm lens stands out from its L-series counterpart, the RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L, by offering a more compact and lightweight design. This is achieved through an advanced optical layout and a slightly more conservative 28mm wide-angle starting point. When not in use, the lens can collapse into itself, allowing for significant space savings in your bag or when carried over your shoulder, making it a practical choice for photographers on the go.
Fast Maximum Aperture
The RF 28-70mm lens features a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, providing key advantages over similarly sized lenses that use a conventional f/4 aperture. This faster aperture allows for the creation of images with a shallower depth of field, making it ideal for portraiture where subject isolation is important. Additionally, the increased light-gathering capability enhances performance in low-light conditions, resulting in more pleasing bokeh and improved image quality overall.
Advanced Autofocus and Image Stabilization
The RF 28-70mm lens includes a fast stepper (STM) autofocus system and Optical Image Stabilizer to ensure sharp imagery. The STM autofocus motor operates quickly and silently, making it suitable for both stills and video capture. It also effectively controls focus breathing, resulting in smooth rack focuses during video recording.
The Optical Image Stabilizer is rated for up to 5.5 stops on its own and up to 7.5 stops when paired with a compatible camera’s built-in stabilization system. This feature significantly reduces blur from camera shake when shooting handheld, even in low-light conditions or at longer shutter speeds, allowing for clearer, more stable images.
