The RF28-70mm F2.8 IS STM lens is our new lens that is perfect for both still and video content creators who may have a smaller budget but want high quality. This lens is now the smallest, lightest, RF zoom lens with extremely high image quality (equal that of an L-series lens). For still image creators this light and compact lens weighing in at just over one pound will be a “take anywhere” kind of lens. Offering a fast F2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range, photographers can work in low light situations or take creative control and blur the foreground and background with wide apertures not available on standard kit lenses.

  • Compatible with most Canon EOS R-Series cameras: For use with your existing Canon mirrorless R-Series camera.
  • 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.
  • Versatile 28-70mm zoom range: A 28mm-70mm zoom range provides a surprising amount of focal lengths to choose from, perfect for a full day adventure, or even inside the house where you can close up to your favorite subjects!
  • F2.8 maximum aperture: Creates sharp, detailed images with shallow depth of field and softly blurred background. Performs best in moderate-to-bright light settings or outdoors on overcast days.
  • Compact size and weight for everyday carry: This lens accomplishes the incredible feat of being a fixed aperture zoom lens that you can actually carry around all day without wearing your arm out. One size-reduction feature is the image stabilization unit that has been completely redesigned for this lens. Additionally, the collapsible design and the smaller focus element due to the optical system make the lens lightweight and portable.
  • High-image quality and optical design: There is a lot that contributes to the optical quality of this lens, and it starts with two Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) elements (marked as dark green in diagram). The large-diameter UD lens at the front is a unique configuration previously found only in L lenses.
  • Action: This lens is for more than just still shots, your video adventures and productions will benefit as well. The leadscrew-type STM focusing motor is extremely quiet and the 28mm-70mm zoom range is great for vlogging at home, or filming on the street. Focus breathing is also well controlled with this lens, lending even more professionalism to your productions.
  • Image stabilization: Combining 5.5 stops of in-lens image stabilization with in-body image stabilization achieves a coordinated control of 7.5 stops, making Hand-held shooting in low-light conditions possible. In addition, a tripod can be used with the image stabilization function turned on.
  • Bokeh: Even with a zoom lens, the foreground and background can be blurred softly and significantly. This f/2.8 lens provides rich bokeh at every focal length. The ability to open the aperture also allows for faster shutter speeds, preventing blurring of the subject.
  • Sample images: All provided sample images taken with the Canon EOS R6 Mark II Mirrorless Camera and this lens.

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Great versatile lightweight zoom for low light.

    I bought this as a lightweight travel lens for vacations. It is pricey for some people but it is sharp and can shoot in low light. I have it on an R8 for a small camera rig that packs a punch. I’ve shot in low light restaurants and outside on a trail. The range may be the only downside but you are not going to find anything more compact and light.

    This lens blew me away with how clean it is. The combo with the Canon R8 takes high quality professional photos. The autofocus works wonders and never misses if you got the right camera settings. Glad I bought this as my first RF lens.
