Canon recently announced three new lenses aimed at photographers looking to achieve a powerful, ultra-wide angle shot, or looking for a superb zoom range. The RF-S10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM, the RF24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z, and the RF200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM lenses can benefit a wide range of users — from beginners all the way to working professionals.

Canon RF-S10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM

The RF-S10-18mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM lens offers users of APS-C sensor size EOS R-series cameras an ultra wide-angle zoom, helping create strong still images and video. It is an ideal lens for vloggers, travelers and general shooters. Beginners in video and still photography can make good use of this lens, as well as the more advanced pros. Key features include:

  • 10–18mm ultra-wide zoom (equivalent to 16-29mm on full-frame camera).
  • Image Stabilization, for even greater hand-held sharpness and video steadiness.
  • Compact and lightweight design, making it an excellent choice for travel.
  • A new optical design, optimized for RF lens mount and APS-C sensor size.
  • An affordable price tag for those just stepping into ultra-wide video and still imaging.

Canon RF24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z

Still photography and video professionals looking for a single lens that can handle most tasks with low-light capabilities will find what they’re looking for with the RF24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z. This is the world’s first 24-105mm focal length lens combined with consistent f/2.8 maximum aperture,* offering true portrait-length telephoto coverage resulting in sharp images. High-end photographers, photojournalists and video content creators can utilize its other features, such as:

  • Constant overall length when zooming.
  • Manual aperture ring for video use.
  • Optimized optics for high-level video.
  • Image stabilization.

A new Power Zoom Adapter will also be available for the RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z lens, an optional accessory for super-smooth zooming during video operation. This detachable device allows for more natural movement when zooming in and out, and easier control for solo camera operators. A standard version of the Power Zoom Adapter will be available, as well as a 20-pin port version to support zoom and focus demands. The firmware updates that will be available in early December for the EOS C70 and EOS R5 C cameras will add support for the RF24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z lens.  For more information on the new firmware updates, please visit here.
