Meet Greatness

The RF28-70mm F2.8 IS STM lens is perfect for still and video content creators seeking high-quality performance on a budget. As the smallest and lightest RF zoom lens with image quality comparable to an L-series lens, it offers exceptional value. Weighing just over a pound, this compact lens is ideal for on-the-go shooting. Its constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range allows photographers to work in low-light conditions and create beautiful foreground and background blur, offering creative control not typically found in standard kit lenses.

Compact Size and Weight for Everyday Carry

This lens achieves the remarkable feat of being a fixed-aperture zoom that's light enough to carry all day without fatigue. A key feature is the redesigned image stabilization unit, which contributes to the lens's reduced size. Its collapsible design and smaller focus element, made possible by the advanced optical system, further enhance its portability. Leveraging electronic distortion correction, this large-aperture zoom with a constant f/2.8 aperture delivers exceptional image quality across the frame while maintaining a compact and lightweight form.

High-Image Quality and Optical Design

The optical quality of this lens is driven by several key elements, starting with two Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) lenses, including a large-diameter UD element at the front—a configuration typically seen in L-series lenses. This unique setup effectively corrects chromatic aberration, reduces the weight of the front lens group, and improves handling by minimizing the shift in the center of gravity during zooming. Two precisely placed glass-molded aspherical elements further enhance performance by controlling various aberrations while keeping the lens compact. The result is clear, high-resolution images even at maximum aperture. Additionally, the lens features a dust- and weather-resistant design, a hallmark of L-series quality.

Action!

This lens isn't just for still photography—it’s perfect for video production as well. The leadscrew-type STM focusing motor operates with remarkable quietness, making it ideal for recording without distracting noise. With a versatile 28-70mm zoom range, it's perfect for vlogging at home or capturing your next adventure on film. Additionally, focus breathing is well controlled, adding a professional touch to your video work.

Versatile Zoom Range

A 28mm-70mm zoom range provides a surprising amount of focal lengths to choose from, perfect for a full day adventure, or even inside the house where you can get close up to your favorite subjects!

Image Stabilization

By combining 5.5 stops of in-lens image stabilization with in-body stabilization, this system offers a coordinated control of up to 7.5 stops, enabling handheld shooting in low-light conditions with ease. Additionally, the image stabilization function can remain active even when using a tripod, enhancing versatility and control.

Bokeh

Even with a zoom lens, this f/2.8 lens allows for beautifully soft and pronounced background and foreground blur, delivering rich bokeh at any focal length. The wide aperture not only enhances creative depth but also enables faster shutter speeds, helping to prevent motion blur in your subject.
