Canon has today announced the introduction of a brand new ultra-wide zoom lens for the EOS R mirrorless system. Compact and lightweight for a lens of this type, the RF 16-28mm f2.8 IS STM lens is physically similar to the RF 28-70mm f2.8 IS STM and uses a retractable design to reduce its size when stored away. The lens offers 5.5-stops of optical image stabilisation, which increases to 8 stops when used on a camera with in-body image stabilisation. It's weather-resistance, despite not being an L-series lens. Designed with two Aspheric lens elements and four Ultra-low dispersion elements, the focus has been on creating a lens which is portable, more affordable but which still offers excellent image quality free from distortions common to wider angle lenses. This is achieved not only through the lens construction itself, but also in combination with digital in-camera corrections.
