Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM Lens

The Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM Lens is an ultra-wide-angle lens in the RF mount. This compact lens offers a 35mm equivalent focal length of 15mm. It features a large f/2.8 maximum aperture for low-light shooting, an optical image stabilizer for steady images, and Super Spectra coating to minimize ghosting and flare.

This lens has an ultra-wide angle that can be mounted on many RF cameras, allowing a photographer to shoot in tight spaces. This gives it the ability to cover a wide field of view, which can be especially helpful for shooting scenes with multiple subjects.

The Canon RF 16MM f/2.8 STM lens’ 16mm focal length can cover a large number of subjects and will be able to produce a larger image that’s perfect for scenic and landscape shots. Plus, the Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM Lens has Canon’s proprietary Super Spectra Coating with minimized ghosting and flare. This feature helps it to produce clearer, sharper images unlike anything before.

The Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM Lens is a wide-angle prime lens that is ideal for shooting landscapes and architecture. It has a 7-blade circular diaphragm and an aspherical element to minimize distortion and chromatic aberrations. The lens also has a built-in stepping focus motor and an optimized design for use with the Canon EOS cameras.

The STM stepping AF motor allows the lens to focus at different distances with ease. This can speed up your response time when you’re changing focuses and subject distances at all times.

The Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM Lens’ 7-blade diaphragm guarantees the light from the subject will be better diffused and the aberration caused by the center-most blades being cut off will be minimized.
