The Canon RF 28-70MM F2.8 IS STM is a powerful standard zoom lens designed for full-frame cameras, offering incredible versatility and performance. Whether you're capturing stunning portraits, vibrant landscapes, or cinematic videos, this lens delivers exceptional results. Its compact design, fast aperture, and cutting-edge technology make it an excellent choice for photographers and videographers alike.
Fast f/2.8 Aperture for Creative Flexibility
With its bright f/2.8 maximum aperture, the RF 28-70MM F2.8 IS STM is perfect for low-light photography and achieving beautifully shallow depth-of-field effects. This allows you to isolate your subject with smooth, creamy bokeh, making it ideal for portrait photography. The wide aperture also gives you more control when working in challenging lighting conditions, ensuring sharp images without compromising on shutter speed or ISO.
Compact, Lightweight, and Travel-Ready
Despite its advanced features, the RF 28-70MM F2.8 IS STM is incredibly compact and lightweight. Weighing in at less than 500g and measuring only 92.2mm when retracted, it''s an ideal travel companion. Its weather-sealed construction offers added protection from the elements, making it suitable for outdoor shooting in a variety of conditions, whether you're on an urban adventure or exploring nature.
5.5-Stop Optical Image Stabilisation
One of the standout features of this lens is its 5.5-stop Optical Image Stabiliser, which ensures steady handheld shots even at slower shutter speeds. This is particularly useful in low-light environments or when shooting without a tripod. For photographers using Canon''s In-Body Image Stabilisation (IBIS) system, the lens can deliver up to an impressive 7.5 stops of stabilisation, making it even more effective for handheld shooting and filming.
Exceptional Image Quality with Advanced Optics
The RF 28-70MM F2.8 IS STM features UD (Ultra-Low Dispersion) and Aspheric lens elements, designed to minimise chromatic aberration and distortions across the zoom range. This results in sharper, more detailed images with vibrant, true-to-life colours and excellent contrast. Whether you're shooting wide-angle landscapes or zooming in for portraits, this lens delivers stunning clarity and sharpness from edge to edge.
Smooth Autofocus for Stills and Video
Thanks to its STM motor, the RF 28-70MM F2.8 IS STM offers smooth, fast, and near-silent autofocus performance. This makes it ideal for both stills and video, where discreet operation is crucial. The STM motor ensures that focus transitions are incredibly smooth, perfect for cinematic video work, and focus breathing correction ensures consistent framing when refocusing during a shot. This level of precision makes the lens a fantastic choice for content creators who need reliable, high-quality results.
Intuitive Control for Seamless Shooting
The lens features a Focus/Control ring, allowing you to adjust key settings such as aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation directly from the lens. This gives you more control over your shooting experience without needing to look away from the viewfinder. For photographers who prefer manual control, the AF/MF/CONTROL switch lets you switch between autofocus and manual focus easily, giving you the flexibility to fine-tune your focus in real-time.
Versatile Focal Range for Any Situation
The 28-70mm zoom range is ideal for a variety of shooting scenarios, from wide-angle landscapes to tight portrait compositions. Whether you're shooting street photography, capturing travel memories, or filming video interviews, the RF 28-70MM F2.8 IS STM offers a versatile focal range that covers all the essentials. The wide 28mm end is perfect for group shots and landscapes, while the 70mm end is great for portraits and isolating subjects.
Built for the Modern Creator
The RF 28-70MM F2.8 IS STM is not just for stills photography—it''s also a great tool for video creators. Its whisper-quiet autofocus, combined with features like focus breathing correction and the smooth focus transitions provided by the STM motor, make it ideal for recording professional-quality video. The compact size and lightweight design also make it a natural fit for gimbals, allowing for smooth, stabilised shots.
