Canon unveils trio of new lenses
RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z pushes the frontiers of lens design and is joined by the RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM and the RF-S 10-18mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM
When Canon launched its RF mirrorless mount in 2018, W it promised that new and never-seen-before lenses would follow. It has made good on this by releasing a trio of new optics that straddle the photo and video camps. The RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z offers the kit lens-friendly focal range of 24-105mm but with a constant f/2.8 aperture – a photographer’s dream, according to Canon. The ‘Z’ in the title refers to ‘zoom’, which can also be applied smoothly via the optional PZ-E2 (£1,149/$999) and PZ-E2B (£1,529/$1,299) power zoom adapters.
