Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM Lens

The Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM presents a distinctive fusion of a wide field of view and a close-focusing capability, making it an exceptional choice as both an ultra-wide lens and a macro lens. This combination allows for close-range photography while preserving a sense of spaciousness and enhanced depth of field, in contrast to traditional telephoto macro lenses. This wide-angle prime is versatile, suitable for capturing a range of subjects such as landscapes, nature, and urban scenes, while its close-focusing feature enables detailed shots of nearby subjects amidst broader compositions. The macro functionality provides a maximum magnification of 1:2, achieving a half life-size image, with a minimum focusing distance of 5.5 inches. The bright f/1.8 aperture facilitates depth of field control and adaptability in various lighting conditions. Additionally, the lens incorporates one ultra-low dispersion (UD) element and one aspherical element to effectively minimize chromatic and spherical aberrations, resulting in sharp and color-accurate images. The application of Super Spectra coating enhances contrast and color fidelity by reducing flare and ghosting, particularly in challenging lighting environments. Furthermore, the rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and aesthetically pleasing bokeh effect.

• STM stepping motor offers fast, quiet, smooth, and accurate autofocus performance that benefits both stills and video recording needs.
  
  
• Optical Image Stabilizer minimizes the appearance of camera shake by up to 5 stops, or 6.5 stops with coordinated IS, to better enable working handheld in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds.
  
  
• Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.
