Frequently Asked Questions
Is this lens compatible with Canon EF-mount cameras?
No, the RF28-70mm F2.8 IS STM is designed exclusively for Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras. It cannot be used on EF-mount DSLRs without an adapter, and Canon does not make an RF-to-EF adapter.
Does this lens have built-in image stabilization?
Yes, it features a newly designed optical image stabilization unit, which also works in coordination with in-body image stabilization on compatible Canon RF-mount cameras.
How does this lens compare to the Canon RF 28-70mm F2L?
This is a different lens — the RF28-70mm F2.8 IS STM is significantly smaller, lighter, and more affordable, with an f/2.8 maximum aperture instead of f/2. It is positioned as an everyday carry lens rather than the premium L-series f/2 version.
Is this lens weather-sealed?
Yes, Canon states it has weather-resistant construction equivalent to an L-series lens, making it suitable for use in challenging environmental conditions.
What type of autofocus motor does this lens use?
It uses Canon's STM (Stepping Motor) autofocus, which provides smooth and quiet focusing well suited for both photo and video work.
