Introducing the Canon RF 28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM

The Canon RF 28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM is a high-end, bright zoom lens designed for demanding professional and amateur photographers, specifically for full-frame mirrorless cameras with the RF mount. Offering a focal length range of 28-70mm, it’s ideal for a wide variety of photographic styles, including landscapes, portraits, and everyday scenes. This standard zoom combines advanced optical features with a large, constant f/2.8, allowing you to capture sharp images even in low light and create artistic background blur to isolate your subject.

The built-in image stabilization system offers 5.5 stops, allowing for handheld shooting without fear of camera shake, even at slower shutter speeds. This lens is also compatible with cameras that have built-in image stabilization, which can increase stabilization by up to 8 stops depending on the camera used, including models in the EOS R. This makes it a good choice for photographers looking to work in challenging conditions, such as low-light scenes or environments requiring fast shooting.

Use cases

Thanks to its wide aperture and versatile focal range, the Canon RF 28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM is an ideal tool for professional photographers working in various fields, such as wedding, portrait, landscape, and travel photography. For example, during a portrait session, the f/2.8 produces a creamy bokeh, emphasizing the subject. In low-light conditions, this lens allows you to capture sharp, bright images without needing a tripod, thanks to its image stabilization.

Furthermore, its STM autofocus motor delivers silent and smooth focus transitions, which is especially appreciated in video. The Canon RF 28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM thus allows videographers to capture videos with smooth focus changes, enhancing the cinematic quality of their productions.
