Combining the large f/2.8 aperture with the 7-blade circular aperture design, this lens is capable of delivering beautiful bokeh.
The RF28mm f/2.8 STM performs well in low light thanks to its wide aperture. When paired with a camera that is built with an In-body Image Stabilizer, you can get sharp images taken with a slow shutter speed.
Superior Image Quality
With three large-diameter plastic-molded aspherical lenses and an effective optical layout, the RF28mm f/2.8 STM provides superb sharpness and clarity from the image's centre to its edges in a small package.
Focus Breathing Correction
The camera's angle of view changes slightly during focus racking while recording video, causing an annoying 'pulsing' effect in the footage. The RF28mm f/2.8 STM compensates for the change in field of view as the focus point is changed, resulting in seamless video recording.
STM
Canon's unique gear-type stepping motor (STM) provides a smooth and quiet autofocus operation even during movie recording.
Dual Function Ring
The RF28mm f/2.8 STM comes with Canon's signature knurled control ring that functions as both a focus and exposure dial.
