Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens

Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens
The Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM is the essential professional workhorse for the EOS R mirrorless system. Combining the classic versatility of a standard zoom with the cutting-edge performance of the RF mount, this L-series lens delivers exceptional sharpness, a fast constant f/2.8 aperture, and—for the first time in a Canon 24-70mm—5-stop Optical Image Stabilization. Whether you are capturing high-end weddings, commercial landscapes, or professional video, this lens is engineered to be the most reliable tool in your kit.

Elite RF Optics & Performance
Constant f/2.8 Aperture: The bright maximum aperture provides consistent illumination across the entire zoom range, offering superb low-light performance and shallow depth-of-field control for beautiful subject isolation.

Advanced Glass Elements: The optical layout includes three UD (Ultra-Low Dispersion) elements and three aspherical elements. This sophisticated combination virtually eliminates chromatic and spherical aberrations, ensuring tack-sharp rendering and color accuracy from 24mm to 70mm.

Air Sphere Coating (ASC): Canon’s ASC technology significantly reduces ghosting and flare, maintaining high contrast and clarity even when shooting directly into strong light sources.

Nano USM Focus System: By combining a ring-type USM with an STM mechanism, this lens achieves lightning-fast AF for stills and smooth, nearly silent focus transitions for video. Full-time manual focus override is always available for precision control.

Stability & Tactile Control
5-Stop Optical Image Stabilization: This lens enables sharp handheld shooting at much slower shutter speeds than previously possible, compensating for up to five stops of camera shake. When paired with an EOS R body featuring IBIS, the stabilization becomes even more effective.

Customizable Control Ring: A unique feature of the RF series, the integrated control ring can be programmed to adjust your aperture, ISO, shutter speed, or exposure compensation directly from the lens barrel.

9-Blade Rounded Diaphragm: The aperture design produces a silky, pleasing bokeh quality, making it an excellent choice for high-end portraiture.

Professional L-Series Build
Weather-Sealed Durability: Built to the exacting standards of the L-series, the barrel is fully sealed against dust and moisture, allowing you to maintain your workflow in challenging environmental conditions.

Fluorine Protective Coating: The front and rear elements are treated with a fluorine coating that repels water and oil while resisting fingerprints, making the lens much easier to clean after a long day in the field.

Seamless Integration: Optimized specifically for the short flange back of the RF mount, this lens offers a level of corner-to-corner sharpness that sets a new benchmark for the 24-70mm focal length.
