Canon RF 24-70mm F2.8L IS USM in detail
Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM Fast and sharp – the ideal full frame mirrorless standard zoom for professionals
This f/2.8 standard width zoom complements the RF 70-200mm f/2.8L and RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM as Canon’s mirrorless Trinity of lenses. All three boast L series quality, fast constant apertures and high speed AF motors. Newer mirrorless bodies such as the EOS R5 and R6 camera work with the 24-70mm through in-body IBIS, working seamlessly with the lens optical stabilisation. Not all of Canon’s earliest mirrorless cameras sported in-body stabilisation however, which is where this lens picks up 5 stops of advantage.
Give your full frame mirrorless photography an edge with a 24-70mm zoom built to exceed expectations. Superb optical engineering, a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture and 5-stop image stabilisation helps you stay creative in all conditions.
Capture your subjects in amazing detail thanks to this fast and sharp f/2.8 zoom featuring the popular 24-70mm range and advanced 5-stop image stabilisation
