Discover breathtaking and immersive visuals with this ultra-wide zoom lens. Its constant f/2.8 aperture enables excellent subject separation and provides outstanding image quality in low-light conditions, especially when combined with up to 8 stops of image stabilisation (with compatible cameras). The autofocus operates quietly while ensuring speed and accuracy, making it also a perfect choice for videography.

All these features are housed in a compact and lightweight body that is dust- and drip-resistant, comparable to an L-lens.

• Large Constant f/2.8 Aperture with Up to 8 Stops of Image Stabilisation
• Fast, Precise & Quiet Focusing with 0.26x Magnification
• Dust & Drip Resistance Similar to an L-Lens

Compact Build

The RF16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM fits comfortably in your hand like a soda can. Weighing approximately 445g and measuring about 91mm in length, its lightweight design empowers you to easily shoot all day.

Being almost 30% shorter and nearly half the weight of the RF15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM, it is the perfect companion for those who value portability while never compromising performance.

Exceptional Image Quality

The RF16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM delivers exceptional image quality, even at its widest aperture, f/2.8. Enjoy clarity and vibrant colours from the centre to the edge. The lens captures every detail with precision, ensuring that each image is sharp from corner to corner.

Versatile Focal Length

Whether you're photographing stunning landscapes, capturing fine details, or shooting on the go, a versatile focal length provides exceptional flexibility.

Enjoy the convenience of seamless transitions between wide-angle and ultra-wide angle perspectives with the RF16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM.

Image Stabilisation

The built-in Optical Image Stabilizer takes image stabilisation to the next level, offering up to 5.5 stops of shutter speed compensation, making previously impossible handheld shots achievable.

When used with compatible cameras featuring an In-Body Image Stabilizer, you can get up to 8 stops of image stabilisation through Coordinated Control IS. This allows for sharp handheld captures in situations that would typically require a tripod.

Magnify Closer at 0.26x

The RF16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM is capable of focusing at a distance as near as 20cm at 28mm focal length and offers up to 0.26x magnification, allowing you to get closer to your subject for detailed close-up shots.

The synergy of the lead-screw-type STM and the exceptional autofocus capabilities of the Dual Pixel CMOS AF in EOS R cameras creates a cinematic experience with seamless and natural focus transitions. When recording videos, a typical phenomenon that occurs is a 'pulsing effect' in the footage whereby the camera's angle of view changes slightly during focus racking. When paired with a compatible camera, the innovative focus breathing correction empowers filmmakers by digitally adjusting for changes in the angle of view for a seamless, beautiful video recording that captures every moment beautifully.
