Product Description
The RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM wide-angle, fixed focal length lens affordably
expands your options with the EOS R System. Great for still photography and
videography, the RF24mm can provide drama in your still images, and has a wide
field of view for vlogging, while still maintaining a natural look. The bright
f/1.8 aperture also does wonders for your images. Not only can you achieve
beautiful, soft backgrounds, but you can shoot in more available light
situations than you could with a slower lens. The RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM also
comes with built-in Optical Image Stabilization to further enhance your
low-light shooting abilities by providing up to 5.5 stops of shake correction,
and up to 6.5 stops with coordinated IS. The RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM is
surprisingly light and compact while still providing a very solid feel. Another
unexpected feature of this lens is its close-focusing capability. It can focus
continuously down to half life-size magnification making this prime lens even
more versatile. No matter what you end up doing with this lens, you will be
rewarded with high-quality images that can take your photography to the next
level.
A well balanced wide-angle, fixed focal length lens
The RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM makes for a lightweight and comfortable, all-day
lens. It's ideal for capturing a variety of subjects and is a powerful lens that
affordably expands the EOS R system.
Fast and bright
A bright f/1.8 maximum aperture allows for great control over depth of field and
bokeh, low-light shooting and video recording, with fast and reliable autofocus.
Excellent image quality
Taking advantage of the Canon RF lens mount, the RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM lens
offers great optical quality. Its optical design includes an aspheric element,
and an Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) glass element for high image quality from
center to corner, and Canon Super Spectra Coating to minimize ghosting and flare
Minimum focus distance of approx. 5.5 In. and close-up magnification 0.5x
With its impressive 5.5 In. minimum focusing distance, the RF24mm F1.8 IS STM
lens is designed for working up-close and personal with subjects to document
even the most minute of details. And because it has a maximum magnification of
0.5x, you can even experience close-up 1:2 half life-size macro photography so
you can capture a variety of macro subjects with stunning results.
Optical image stabilization - up to 5.5 stops of shake correction
For consistently sharp results, the RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM features built-in
optical Image Stabilization, providing enhanced shake reduction for up to 5.5
stops of shake correction. When paired with an EOS R-series camera that has In
Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), the Coordinated IS allows for up to 6.5 stops
of correction. This means more reliable handheld performance and clearer detail
in low-light situations, without having to increase the ISO or decrease the
shutter speed. Because of its enhanced stabilization, the RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS
STM can also help minimize the need for a tripod.
Lead Screw-type STM
Canon's stepping motor (STM) technology is especially effective at producing
smooth, quiet autofocus during video recording, even in low light. This lens is
a perfect choice for multi-media content creation with quiet autofocus. And, STM
focus drive provides responsive, quick - and exceptionally quiet - AF during
still-image shooting, as well.
Control Ring for Direct Setting Changes
The RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM lens incorporates a control ring on the lens barrel
that can directly adjust numerous settings including shutter speed, aperture,
exposure compensation and more. Located towards the front of the lens and
effectively adding a third dial to the EOS R camera's main dial and quick
control dial, the control ring has a tactile, easily distinguished surface and
features a clicking mechanism that provides tangible feedback for confident use
while looking through the viewfinder. For photographers and moviemakers who
would prefer a silent control ring, the clicking mechanism can be removed by a
Canon service provider for a fee.
Impressively compact and light at only 0.6 lbs/270g.
The compact size and light weight of the lens makes it an ideal companion on
long hikes and excursions. It is also handy for a day out in the city and when
you want to be creative with multiple prime lenses.
Circular 9-blade aperture for beautiful, soft backgrounds
You'll have no problem when shooting close-up images in getting that creative,
fun and pleasantly smooth out-of-focus background blur we all love with the
circular 9-blade aperture. Subjects will stand out, and the background provides
a beautiful backdrop that's visually appealing in itself.
