Canon RF 16-28mm F2.8 IS STM

Canon RF 16-28mm F2.8 IS STM
 
The ultra-wide lightweight champion for epic Engadin panoramas!
 
Imagine balancing on a narrow path high in the Engadin valley, with a zoom lens ticking in your pocket so feather-light (only 445 grams!) that it doesn't slow you down – but visually captures 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 Segantiniweg trail or narrow interiors in St. Moritz—all with a constant f/2.8 aperture for low-light magic and soft 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 climbs, while the STM motor focuses whisper-quietly and precisely—with focus breathing correction for videos that look like they're from a manual. Close-ups from 25 cm? No problem, with up to 0.26x magnification for details like moss on rock faces. The optics, with four UD and two aspherical elements plus Super Spectra Coating, ensure sharp images from edge to edge, and the weather sealing (dust and moisture protection) makes it a tough companion for rainy days in the Engadin valley. Whether landscapes, architecture, or vlogs – this lens is the clever all-rounder that packs more depth into your bag than you could ever dream of. Get the Ultra Boost and let the Alps breathe!
