• RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z – for a hybrid workflow
• Power Zoom Adapters PZ-E2 and PZ-E2B – for smooth, professional operation of the RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z
• RF-S 10-18mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM – a compact and lightweight ultra-wide zoom lens
• RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM – a telephoto zoom lens with the longest range for the RF mount
RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z
The Canon RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z was designed to meet growing demand among professional creators for hybrid shoots that combine stills and video.
This all-in-one lens effectively performs the work of several lenses. Combining features from broadcast, cinema, and standard RF lenses, it is the first RF zoom lens to pair a dedicated iris/aperture ring with servo functionality through optional power-zoom adapters.
The RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z combines the convenience and reach of the RF 24-105mm F4L IS USM lens with the creative possibilities and low-light power of the RF 24-70mm F2.8L IS USM. This means you no longer have to choose between these two strengths when looking for the perfect shot. The lens offers 5.5 stops of optical image stabilization for strong image quality (up to 8 stops in combination with on-camera image stabilization).
This provides extra stability when filming handheld and supports high image quality at occasions such as weddings and events. The smooth iris ring for video offers precise exposure control, while the 11-blade diaphragm produces attractive bokeh.
This professional lens with extensive options is therefore suitable for capturing news items, documentaries, weddings, events, business activities and content for social media.
The functions of the RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z lens can be further expanded with the recently introduced power zoom adapters, providing greater flexibility for filmmakers.
RF-S 10-18mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM
The Canon RF-S 10-18mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM is specially designed for the Canon EOS R System cameras with an APS-C sensor. With its 10-18mm focal-length range, this ultra-wide-angle lens is ideal for travel, landscapes, cityscapes, and vlogging. It offers up to 4 stops of optical image stabilization and up to 6 stops when combined with in-body image stabilization.
This gives photographers and video users the ability to shoot handheld with confidence, even in low light. In combination with Movie Digital IS, the lens is perfect for content creators who wide shots want to shoot handheld while fitting more into the frame.
Weighing 150 grams, this small and light lens is the perfect travel companion. Creators no longer have to make compromises, as this lens is optimal for both stills and video, and for effortlessly capturing ultra-wide-angle shots.
RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM
The Canon RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM is a full-frame super telephoto zoom lens suitable for nature and sports photography. With a maximum focal length of 800mm, compared to a maximum of 600mm on other lenses currently on the market, this is a telephoto zoom lens with the longest reach for the RF mount.
The lens is developed with water and dust seals to withstand challenging conditions. In addition, the lens is ideal for taking the perfect shot from any position.
Its 5.5-stop image stabilization (up to 7.5 stops when combined with an EOS R camera offering in-body image stabilization4), fast autofocus, focal-length range, and optical construction deliver high-quality stills and video, while the zoom can bring even small subjects into view.
It makes the lens the ideal choice for enthusiasts who want to push the boundaries of nature and sports photography and capture what was previously not possible.
