Canon RF 28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM Lens | Canon RF **OPEN BOX**

Combining a rapid aperture, a compact design, and a flexible wide-to-short telephoto zoom range, the Canon RF 28-70mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens serves as an all-purpose lens ideal for various content creators. With its 28-70mm zoom range and a fast f/2.8 aperture, this lens is perfectly equipped for capturing a wide array of subjects, from landscapes to portraits and beyond. Additionally, it features L-series quality optics while maintaining a smaller size and a comparatively reasonable price for its performance and capabilities.

Compact and Lightweight

The RF 28-70mm lens distinguishes itself from its L-series equivalent, the RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L, by offering a significantly more compact and lightweight design. This lens successfully combines the advantages of a fixed aperture zoom with the practicality of being easily transportable throughout the day without causing fatigue. A key aspect of its reduced size is the completely reengineered image stabilization unit tailored specifically for this model. Furthermore, the lens benefits from a collapsible structure and a minimized focusing element resulting from its optical configuration, enhancing its portability. By utilizing electronic distortion correction, this large-aperture zoom lens with a constant f/2.8 aperture delivers exceptional image quality throughout the frame while maintaining a compact optical design.

The success of the RF 28-70mm lens can be attributed to its robust physical design. It is compact, lightweight, and built to last. The weather-sealed structure, akin to that of L-series lenses, ensures that this lens can perform effectively in various weather conditions, making it a dependable option for both photographers and videographers. Its collapsible design further enhances its portability when not in use. Additionally, the customizable control ring and the smooth manual focus ring facilitate a tactile and intuitive operation of the lens. The weather-sealed feature allows for functionality even in challenging weather scenarios.

L-Series Quality Optics

Canon has positioned the optical capabilities of the RF 28-70mm lens on par with their renowned L-series lenses. This achievement is significant, particularly for a lens that successfully retains a compact size. The sophisticated optical design of the lens guarantees that intricate details are captured consistently across the entire zoom range, even when shooting at maximum aperture.

The lens design incorporates two Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) elements at the front, a feature that was previously exclusive to L-series lenses. This arrangement effectively corrects chromatic aberration while also minimizing the weight of the front lens group. Additionally, two glass-molded aspherical elements are included to mitigate aberrations and contribute to a more compact overall lens size. The Super Spectra Coating (SSC) is applied to diminish backlit flaring and ghosting, ensuring consistent light transmission and high contrast even in challenging lighting conditions.

Fast Autofocus and Built-In Stabilization

Optimize the exceptional optical quality of your lens by utilizing the RF 28-70mm's rapid stepper (STM) autofocus mechanism and Optical Image Stabilizer, which work together to deliver exceptionally sharp images. These features effectively secure focus on your subjects while minimizing the effects of camera shake. The stepper (STM) autofocus motor operates swiftly and silently, ensuring peak performance for both still photography and video recording. Additionally, focus breathing is expertly managed, allowing for seamless rack focuses during video shoots. The Optical Image Stabilizer is capable of compensating for up to 5.5 stops independently, or up to 7.5 stops when paired with a compatible camera's integrated stabilization system. This advanced stabilization technology significantly mitigates blur caused by camera movement, even in low-light conditions and with extended shutter speeds.
