Easily record high-quality videos and capture stunning images with Canon's RF 16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM Lens. As part of the impressive line of RF-mount lenses, this is the smallest and lightest RF zoom lens yet. Its compact size is complemented by a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, providing beautiful bokeh and reliable low-light performance. Driven by a leadscrew-type STM motor, autofocus is both quick and quiet, with precise subject tracking. With built-in image stabilization, handheld images come out sharper and clearer. This lens also boasts four Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) elements and two aspherical elements for reduced chromatic aberrations and a more compact design. The lens is also weather-resistant, offering the durability of an L-series lens for worry-free shooting in tough conditions.

Superb Optical Construction

The Canon RF 16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM Lens features a complex optical design consisting of 16 elements in 13 groups, including four Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) elements and two aspherical elements. This results in excellent edge-to-edge image quality and enhanced contrast, while Canon's Super Spectra Coating (SSC) effectively reduces ghosting, lens flare, and produces accurate color reproduction. With a rounded nine-blade diaphragm, this lens also allows for dreamlike bokeh and pleasing foreground and background blur.

Optimized Image Stabilization

Providing 5.5 stops of correction automatically for cameras without IBIS and up to 8 stops when used in coordination with a compatible camera's built-in stabilization system, the RF 16-28mm f/2.8 helps create sharper imagery while used handheld. Also, while recording video, users will experience minimal focusing breathing due to the lens's leadscrew-type STM motor.

L-Series Equivalent Quality

Proving itself as more than just a compact zoom, the RF 16-28mm f/2.8 matches the build quality of Canon's premium L-series lenses, which excel in creating images with high resolution and rich contrast. Coupling this high-end optical design and durable weather-resistant exterior with a markedly small form factor solidifies this zoom as a standout option that affords you mobility without compromising on detail.
