Overview

Canon RF 16-28mm F/2.8 IS STM - Second Hand

Capture high-quality video content and still imagery on the go with the RF 16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM Lens from Canon. Adding to an already impressive array of RF-mount lenses, the RF 16-28mm f/2.8 is the smallest and lightest RF zoom lens yet. Complementing its compact form factor is a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture, enabling superb bokeh and consistent low-light performance. Driven by a leadscrew-type STM motor, this lens delivers fast and quiet autofocusing performance with accurate subject tracking. Built-in image stabilisation helps create noticeably sharper handheld images. Contributing to its impressive optical construction are four Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) elements and two aspherical elements, which help reduce chromatic aberrations and allow for a more compact design. Weather-resistant durability akin to an L-series lens is offered, giving users peace of mind when shooting in harsher environments.

Superb Optical Construction

Ensuring excellent image quality from edge-to-edge and enhanced contrast, four Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) elements and two aspherical elements are utilised for the lens's complex optical design, which is comprised of 16 elements in 13 groups.

To effectively reduce ghosting, prevent lens flare, and produce accurate colour reproduction, Canon utilises its Super Spectra Coating (SSC) on the lens glass.

A rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes dreamlike bokeh and pleasing background and foreground blur.

Optimised Image Stabilisation

Providing 5.5 stops of correction automatically for cameras without IBIS and up to 8 stops when used in coordination with a compatible camera's built-in stabilisation system, the RF 16-28mm f/2.8 helps create sharper imagery while used handheld. Also, while recording video, users will experience minimal focusing breathing due to the lens's leadscrew-type STM motor.

L-Series Equivalent Quality

Proving itself as more than just a compact zoom, the RF 16-28mm f/2.8 matches the build quality of Canon's premium L-series lenses, which excel in creating images with high resolution and rich contrast. Coupling this high-end optical design and durable weather-resistant exterior with a markedly small form factor solidifies this zoom as a standout option that affords you mobility without compromising on detail.

Minimum focusing distance of 7.9" at 28mm and 9.8" at 16mm.
