Canon’s latest full-frame RF lens, the 16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM, is the smallest and lightest addition to their mirrorless lenses lineup. Designed for photographers and videographers who want a versatile wide-angle zoom without carrying extra weight, this lens offers plenty of practical features. With a constant f/2.8 aperture, built-in stabilization, and a lightweight build, it’s aimed at creators looking for flexibility and portability. For more insight into Canon’s growing RF lineup, including their recent announcement of four new lenses, check out this article on their year-end releases here. Source: Canon Compact design and usability Weighing just 454g/1lb, the RF 16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM is Canon’s smallest and lightest RF zoom lens so far. Its slim design makes it an easy companion for travel, handheld shooting, or all-day use. The lens balances well on smaller RF cameras like the EOS R8 or RP, making it a good choice for those who prefer a lighter kit. The 16-28mm range is well-suited for wide-angle shooting, whether you’re capturing landscapes, architectural details, or working in tight spaces. The constant f/2.8 aperture makes it easier to work in low light and gives you some creative options with shallow depth of field. This range is particularly helpful for anyone shooting handheld, especially in video work where you might want smooth, steady shots without adding extra stabilization gear.
