Canon RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM Lens

OVERVIEW

The Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens is a standard wide-angle telephoto zoom lens, designed for full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras, and is characterized by its bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture, which enables the ability to work in a variety of lighting conditions, & have greater control over your depth of field. Its maximum aperture also allows you to maintain consistent illumination throughout the zoom range. The RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM features an optical design which greatly reduces distortion & color fringing, allowing you to capture images with sharpness & high clarity. Its rounded, 9-blade diaphragm enables the ability for you to use selective focusing techniques, & produce a pleasing bokeh quality in your images.

Three Ultra-Low Dispersion elements, as well as three aspherical elements, have been added to the lens' design to minimize color fringing & chromatic aberrations, while also improving the sharpness & clarity of your images, by correcting spherical aberrations & distortion. An ASC (Air-Asphere Coating) has also been applied to reduce backlit flaring & ghosting, for high contrast and maintained light transmission in strong lighting scenarios. 

The RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM features an Optical Image Stabilizer, which is included to minimize the appearance of camera shake by 5 stops. The O.I.S. improves your ability to work in low-light conditions, as well as the use of slower shutter speeds. A Nano USM system is featured as well, & includes both a ring type USM & an STM mechanism, allowing the lens to realize fast and accurate focusing with a smooth & nearly silent focusing performance. The Nano USM system's ability to perform in a quiet manner is extremely helpful during video and photography applications. The system also affords full-time manual focus control while working in "one-shot AF" mode.

A configurable control ring is featured to adjust a variety of exposure settings, such as aperture, ISO, & exposure compensation. This L-series lens features a physical design that makes it weather-resistant & protected against dust and moisture. The physical design also features a protective fluorine coating, which has been applied to the front and rear element to protect against fingerprints & smudges.
