Canon RF 16-28mm F2.8 IS STM

Canon RF 16-28mm F2.8 IS STM
 
The ultra-wide lightweight champion for epic Engadine panoramas!
 
Imagine balancing on a narrow path high up in the Engadine Valley, with a zoom lens ticking away in your pocket that's so feather-light (only 445 grams!) it won't slow you down – yet will capture the mountains in breathtaking expanse. The Canon RF 16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM is the clever ultra-wide-angle partner for full-frame EOS R cameras, retracting like a clever trick and remaining super-compact (91 mm long when retracted). With a focal length of 16-28 mm, you can capture dramatic landscapes along the Segantini Trail or intimate interiors in St. Moritz – all with a constant f/2.8 aperture for low-light magic and smooth bokeh that makes your subjects stand out without losing the rest of the scene. The built-in image stabilizer (up to 5.5 stops alone, 8 with IBIS) keeps everything steady, even on windy summit hikes, while the STM motor focuses whisper-quietly and precisely – with focus breathing correction for videos that look like they came straight out of the manual. Close-ups from 25 cm? No problem, with up to 0.26x magnification for details like moss on rock faces. The lens, with its 4 UD and 2 aspherical elements plus Super Spectra Coating, ensures sharp images from edge to edge, and its weather sealing (dust and moisture protection) makes it a tough companion for rainy days in the Engadine. Whether landscapes, architecture, or vlogs – this lens is the clever all-rounder that packs more breadth into your bag than you could ever dream of. Get the Ultra Boost and let the Alps breathe!
