Designed for use with full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras, the versatile telephoto zoom lens is designed for use with full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras. A constant f/4 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range benefits consistent performance and also contributes to the relatively lightweight design and compact form factor.

Four UD elements help compensate for the bending effect of lens light rays, enabling them to shoot at the same point and providing more brightness and color accuracy. The RF 70-200mm f/4L has a circular aperture that is designed to maintain strong lighting conditions through an Air Sphere Coating called ASC.

Optical image stabilization will reduce camera shake and allow you to shoot at slower shutter speeds in low-light conditions. Using both a ring type USM and STM mechanism, Dual Nano USM system enables the decisive moment of quick and accurate focusing of photo or video.

The adjustable Control Ring can be used to change to a variety of exposure settings including aperture, ISO and exposure compensation. The weather-resistant design of this lens enables its use in inclement conditions so that it is protected against dust and moisture.

Compact, lightweight, and close-focusing abilities, the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM fits more solidly for a normal-length prime, offering a classic and ubiquitous field of view. Ideal for everyday snapshots and walk about shooting, this 50mm f/1.8 lens features bright optics for available light.

Designed for use with full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless digital cameras, Normal – length prime lenses are best for general use and landscapes. The aperture of f/1.8 is useful in poor lighting conditions, and the depth-of-field increases with focal length. Seven-blade diaphragm configuration results in a pleasing bokeh quality shots.
