Product Description
Lightweight Fast Ultra-wide
Discover breathtaking and immersive visuals with this ultra-wide zoom lens. Its constant f/2.8 aperture enables excellent subject separation and provides outstanding image quality in low-light conditions, especially when combined with up to 8 stops of image stabilisation (with compatible cameras). The autofocus operates quietly while ensuring speed and accuracy, making it also a perfect choice for videography.
All these features are housed in a compact and lightweight body that is dust- and drip-resistant, comparable to an L-lens.
Key Features
- Large Constant f/2.8 Aperture with Up to 8 Stops of Image Stabilisation
- Fast, Precise & Quiet Focusing with 0.26x Magnification
- Dust & Drip Resistance Similar to an L-Lens

Subject Separation The RF16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM with its large f/2.8 aperture, creates beautiful subject separation from the background. The 9-blade circular aperture adds a cinematic touch to out-of-focus areas, making the image look more appealing. The wide aperture allows you to capture with faster shutter speeds and lower ISO settings, making it the perfect companion for capturing stunning low-light moments. |
Compact Build The RF16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM fits comfortably in your hand like a soda can. Weighing approximately 445g and measuring about 91mm in length, its lightweight design empowers you to easily shoot all day. Being almost 30% shorter and nearly half the weight of the RF15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM, it is the perfect companion for those who value portability while never compromising performance. |

Image Stabilisastion The built-in Optical Image Stabilizer takes image stabilisation to the next level, offering up to 5.5 stops of shutter speed compensation, making previously impossible handheld shots achievable. When used with compatible cameras featuring an In-Body Image Stabilizer, you can get up to 8 stops of image stabilisation through Coordinated Control IS. This allows for sharp handheld captures in situations that would typically require a tripod. |
Magnify Closer at 0.26x The RF16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM is capable of focusing at a distance as near as 20cm at 28mm focal length and offers up to 0.26x magnification, allowing you to get closer to your subject for detailed close-up shots. |

The synergy of the lead-screw-type STM and the exceptional autofocus capabilities of the Dual Pixel CMOS AF in EOS R cameras creates a cinematic experience with seamless and natural focus transitions. When recording videos, a typical phenomenon that occurs is a 'pulsing effect' in the footage whereby the camera's angle of view changes slightly during focus racking. When paired with a compatible camera, the innovative focus breathing correction empowers filmmakers by digitally adjusting for changes in the angle of view for a seamless, beautiful video recording that captures every moment beautifully.

Lead-Screw Type STM The lead-screw type STM system offers outstanding responsiveness and control thanks to its simple mechanical design. The RF16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM features a lightweight focus group that enhances the STM drive, resulting in faster and more precise still image capture. It also ensures quieter and smoother autofocus for video recording, providing a seamless shooting experience. |
UD Lenses The RF16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM is constructed with UD lenses with low refractive index and low dispersion. Two of these are nearly equivalent to one fluorite lens. The precise placement and balance of the 4 UD lenses allow the lens to efficiently correct chromatic aberration and deliver high quality image. |
Aspherical Lenses The RF16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM lens features one of the largest diameter replica aspherical lenses found in any RF lens, along with a GMo aspherical lens. This design effectively minimises spherical aberrations and wide-angle distortions while also allowing the zoom lens to remain compact and lightweight. |
Dust & Drip Resistance This lens is built with the same durability and shock resistance as L-series lenses, making it ideal for challenging conditions. The control ring and mount joints are sealed to protect the lens from sudden rain or moisture, especially when shooting near water. |
