Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM RF Mount Lens

The Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens is a professional standard zoom for full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras, covering a practical 24 to 70mm focal length range for everyday photography, events, portraits, travel, documentary work, and video production. Its constant f/2.8 maximum aperture maintains consistent brightness throughout the zoom range, making it well suited to low-light shooting and selective depth-of-field control. From wide environmental scenes to tighter portrait-length framing, this L-series zoom is designed to be a dependable all-purpose lens for demanding hybrid image makers.

Built with three UD elements, three aspherical elements, and Canon’s Air Sphere Coating, the lens is engineered to control colour fringing, distortion, flare, and ghosting for sharp, high-contrast results across the zoom range. Nano USM autofocus delivers fast, smooth, and nearly silent focusing for stills and video, while full-time manual focus override supports precise control when needed. Five-stop Optical Image Stabilization assists handheld shooting, and the weather-resistant L-series construction, fluorine-coated front and rear elements, and configurable Control Ring add durability and intuitive operation in professional working conditions.

Core Features

• The 24 to 70mm zoom range covers wide-angle to portrait-length perspectives for landscapes, events, portraits, travel, and general professional use.
• The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture maintains consistent exposure and depth-of-field control throughout the zoom range.
• Three UD elements help reduce chromatic aberrations and colour fringing for improved clarity and colour accuracy.
• Three aspherical elements help correct spherical aberrations and distortion for sharper, more accurate rendering.
• Air Sphere Coating suppresses flare and ghosting when shooting into strong light or backlit scenes.
• Five-stop Optical Image Stabilization helps reduce camera shake for sharper handheld results in low light.
• Nano USM autofocus provides quick, accurate, smooth, and nearly silent focusing for both stills and video.
• The customizable Control Ring allows direct adjustment of exposure settings such as aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation.
• Weather-resistant L-series construction helps protect the lens against dust and moisture in challenging shooting conditions.

Constant f/2.8 Performance Across a Versatile Zoom Range

The 24 to 70mm focal length range makes this lens a practical everyday workhorse, moving from wide-angle coverage to portrait-length framing without changing lenses. Its constant f/2.8 aperture supports consistent low-light performance and creative background separation at every focal length.

Sharp L-Series Rendering with Advanced Aberration Control

Three UD elements and three aspherical elements work together to reduce colour fringing, distortion, and spherical aberrations across the zoom range. Air Sphere Coating further helps maintain contrast and colour fidelity when working in strong or backlit lighting conditions.

Stabilized Handheld Shooting for Stills and Video

Built-in Optical Image Stabilization compensates for up to five stops of camera shake, helping produce sharper handheld images when working at slower shutter speeds or in difficult lighting. This makes the lens especially useful for event, travel, and documentary workflows where tripod use may not be practical.

Fast, Quiet Nano USM Autofocus with Direct Lens Control

The Nano USM system combines speed, accuracy, smoothness, and near-silent operation for both photo and video capture. A configurable Control Ring adds tactile access to key exposure settings, while full-time manual focus override allows fine adjustment when working in one-shot AF mode.
