CANON UNVEILS 15-30MM AND 24 MM LENSES FOR RF MOUNT

New close-focusing full-frame lenses are compact and relatively affordable

Canon has launched the RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM and C RF 15-30mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM, a pair of new close-focusing full-frame RF mount lenses that are both compact and relatively affordable.

The new lenses are for full-frame RF mount cameras such as the EOS RP or EOS R5/R6. They will naturally also fit the new APS-C format Canon EOS R10 and EOS R7, though with a 1.6x crop factor that will make them less useful.

A key feature of the RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro is that it doubles as a fast wide-angle prime lens and a macro lens though with a maximum magnification of 0.5x, it's not a true 'macro' lens. It will, however, focus a lot closer than a regular lens, and should still prove highly versatile.
