- Key Specs
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Canon RF
- Lens Type: Standard Zoom
- Minimum Focal Length: 18 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 45 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/4.5 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)

As part of our new RF-S lens line, the RF-S18–45mm F4.5–6.3 IS STM gives you the flexibility you desire without taking up your whole camera bag. This lens was designed with smaller APS-C sensors in mind, and when attached to a full frame EOS R camera, automatically enables the 1.6x crop mode. It offers 100% x 100% Dual Pixel CMOS AF coverage for APS-C sensors, and 80% x 80% Dual Pixel CMOS AF coverage for Full Frame sensors (in crop mode). The small size of the RF-S18–45mm F4.5–6.3 IS STM and clever lens retraction mechanism lets it fit just about anywhere, making it a great lens to bring with you on a walk or wherever the day takes you. The lead screw-type stepping motor (STM) helps ensure smooth autofocus and quiet operation, letting you capture videos with great audio and minimal background noise so you won't distract your subject in a quiet photo environment. Optical Image Stabilization provides up to 4 stops of correction, and up to 6 stops with Coordinated IS. This advanced image stabilization can result in sharper photos with minimal blur, even in low light situations. When you add all of this together, you get a wonderful, lightweight, and versatile lens that is designed to fit into your life.
- Compact and lightweight standard zoom lens for APS-C cameras with the RF mount; automatic APS-C sensor cropping if used on full-frame EOS R-series cameras: With such a small size the RF-S is a great lens to leave connected to your camera all the time so you are always ready to capture that moment!
- Standard zoom lens for versatile use: Get the shot you want with this everyday lens that offers a range of focal lengths to meet the majority of your photographic needs.
- 18-45mm focal length: Midrange is great for many subjects from people to landscapes.
- f/4.5 maximum aperture: For optimal light gathering, resulting in crisp, detailed images even in the shade and on cloudy days.
- Lens-retraction mechanism allows the lens to be retracted by turning the zoom ring for a compact, lightweight and portable design: This updated mechanism (based on EF-M lenses) changes the lock switch to a faster action twist motion that allows the lens to retract into itself for portability.

Q: will this fit my T2i Cannon camera?
A: No it will not. This lens is only compatible with RF mount cameras (EOS R series cameras- mirrorless). The Canon Rebel T2i is an EF/EF-S mount camera. I would recommend that you upgrade to an EOS R series camera and with the help of the mount adapter EF-EOS R you can use all your EF/EF-S lenses on your new EOS R series camera in addition to all the previous and future RF/RF-S lenses that come out.

Compact and lightweight 4x telephoto zoom lens ideal for shooting sports, portraits, and wildlife. The newly developed Micro makes auto focusing quicker and quieter. The improved zoom mechanism also makes zooming smoother. The front part of the zoom ring now sports a silver ring for a luxury touch.
Some items like your keys or wallet you just take everywhere you go because you just never know. For anyone with an EOS R series camera, add the RF50mm F1.8 STM lens to that list. As part of the EOS R System, it’s nice and compact thanks to its RF mount so you can shoot – and get a great shot – anywhere and anytime. Size isn’t all though. As a fixed focal length lens, it lets you be creative with composition and can be used for a wide range of scenes from snapshots to portraits, landscapes to low-light situations and more. Those images will stand out, too, just like you intend whether on social media, or when sharing or printing, thanks to impressive optical features like a PMo aspherical lens to suppress aberrations, Super Spectra coating to reduce flaring and ghosting, and a large f/1.8 aperture for low-light shooting and beautiful bokeh. Pick it up and use it one time and you’ll see for yourself, and you won’t be able to leave the house without it.
The Canon RF75-300mm F4.5-6 brings approachability to zoom shooting. An impressive zoom range of 75-300mm (approx. 120-480mm with an APS-C camera) allows you to bring your subject close when you physically can’t get closer to them, like when watching sports or photographing wildlife. The lens itself is portable and lightweight for a zoom lens of this range making it easy to bring with you on your outings. For a professional look to your images, nothing matches the compression and bokeh you get from a long zoom lens.

Perfect lens! Crisp and clear!
I love this camera and lens it’s perfect for just about everything!!! The zoom is clear and gives lots of room for zooming out! I broke the one that came with my camera and had to purchase a new one and this has worked out so well!!! I LOVE it!

I wish I could give a review but its been 24 days after the lens was paid for and it still hasnt come in. Two events have come and gone that it was to be used for. We have to call to check progress instead of being contacted by them. They were nice enough to extend the automatic cancelation date so we can wait longer.

Maybe worth it as a kit
Grossly overpriced unless it comes with the camera, and even then its too expensive. Subpar image quality, high f stop, and max 45mm make this a poor choice. Unless you can get it cheap, just dont get it. Should cost $50 at most.
