The Canon RF 28mm F2.8 STM lens is a super-compact, wide-angle lens perfect for travel, street photography, and video. It serves as an excellent entry point for full-frame EOS R cameras, offering a versatile 28mm focal length that provides a distinct wide-angle perspective without being overly challenging to use. This lens is also compatible with APS-C sensor EOS R-series cameras, where it delivers a field of view equivalent to a 45mm lens. Its remarkably flat design houses an f/2.8 maximum aperture, enabling great performance in low-light conditions. The minimum focus distance is approximately 9 inches, and it accepts 55mm filters. For enhanced functionality, it can utilize an optional, dedicated Canon screw-in lens hood EW-55. The lens features a Focus/Control ring for direct adjustments to settings like shutter speed, aperture, and exposure compensation, which can be switched between AF, MF, and Control modes. Canon's Stepping Motor (STM) technology ensures smooth, quiet autofocus during both video recording and still-image shooting. The lens is impressively compact and lightweight, weighing only 0.6 lbs/9.5 oz, making it an ideal all-day companion for creators on the go. It leverages the Canon RF lens mount for excellent optical quality, with three aspherical elements and Canon Super Spectra Coating to minimize ghosting and flare.
