A Versatile Zoom for Everyday Use

The 'RF28-70mm F2.8 IS STM' features a standard zoom range from 28mm to 70mm, making it suitable for various scenes from snapshots to landscapes and portraits. The natural bokeh effect at a constant aperture of F2.8 across the zoom range is particularly appealing.

Additionally, its optimal optical design with 12 groups and 15 elements, including a UD lens at the forefront, reduces various aberrations, preventing image quality degradation and achieving high image quality comparable to L lenses across the entire frame.

Ideal for Video Users

The STM-driven quiet and smooth AF, along with powerful image stabilization, allows for stable video production. Combined with the EOS R series, enhanced image stabilization effects can be expected, supporting professional environments.
