Exciting news from Canon! They have announced two new compact and lightweight wide-angle RF-Mount lenses. Excellent for entry-level and enthusiast photographers, the RF 24mm F1.8 Macro IS STM and RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM pair perfectly with the complete lineup of EOS R cameras. They are also the ideal lens for those looking to expand beyond a standard zoom.
Starting with the Canon RF 24mm F1.8 Macro IS STM, a large-diameter, wide-angle fixed focal length lens designed for capturing bright and clear images. Creating stunning bokeh plus outstanding macro capabilities, the RF 24mm F1.8 Macro IS STM gives you even more than a standard kit lens. With its wide angle of view and built-in STM motor that tracks focus with natural movement, this lens is optimized for video use, particularly vlogging and other social media outlets.
Additional Features of the RF24mm F1.8 Macro IS STM:
- Fast F1.8 maximum aperture for great control over depth of field and bokeh, low-light shooting, and video recording, with fast and reliable autofocus.
- A UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass element, one aspheric element, and Canon SSC (Super Spectra Coating) to help minimize ghosting and flare.
-
A minimum focus distance of approx. 14 cm (5.5 in)
- Close-up magnification 0.5x at the minimum focus distance.
-
Optical image stabilization — up to 5.5 stops of shake correction.
- Up to 6.5 stops Coordinated IS when paired with EOS R series cameras featuring In-Body Image Stabilizer (IBIS).
- A dedicated, programmable Control Ring with click-stop operation.
- Equivalent to approximately 38mm coverage when used on cameras with APS-C size image sensors.
- Impressively compact and light at only 270g (0.6 lbs).
- Circular (9 blades) aperture for beautiful, soft backgrounds.

- Two UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass elements, one aspheric element, and Canon SSC (Super Spectra Coating) to help minimize ghosting and flare.
-
Optical Image Stabilization — up to 5.0 stops of shake correction.
- Up to 7.0 stops of Coordinated IS when paired with EOS R series cameras featuring In-Body Image Stabilizer (IBIS).
- Equivalent to approximately 24–48mm coverage when used on cameras with APS-C size image sensors.
-
A minimum focus distance of approx. 28 cm (11 in)
- 13 cm (5.1 in) in manual focus at the 15mm zoom position.
- Canon STM (stepping motor) focus drive, especially suited for smooth, quiet video AF operation.
- Impressively compact and light — approx. 390g (0.9 lbs)
