Canon’s new compact and versatile RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM and RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lenses capture incredible detail, whether shooting macro or wide vistas

Sofia, Bulgaria, 12th July 2022 – Canon Europe today announces the launch of two new affordable RF lenses for full-frame cameras: the RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM and RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM. The RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM is a lightweight, fast f/1.8, 24mm prime lens, and the RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM is an ultra-wide-angle 15-30mm zoom lens. Expanding the RF lens series, the RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM and RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM feature advanced optics and convenient control functions to capture sharp, high-quality images even on the go. With their versatile features, the RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM and RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM are suitable for various photographic genres and vlogging, allowing users to unleash their creativity and instinctively capture every shot.

Introducing the RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM – Sharp, Lightweight, Wide-angle
The RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM is a compact and versatile 24mm prime wide-angle lens, making the most of Canon’s intelligent RF mount design. The RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM thrives in low light with a 5-stop Image Stabilizer, a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture, and a 9-blade circular aperture. This also creates a beautiful soft background, making the subject stand out sharply and clearly. When used with an APS-C sensor camera, the lens provides a 35mm equivalent focal length.

Weighing only 270g and featuring a gear-type STM motor for fast, quiet focusing in a compact size, the RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM is perfect for travel and landscape photography and anyone looking to shoot on the go. With its minimum focusing distance of 14cm (0.5x magnification), this lens offers huge creative potential, allowing photographers and vloggers to focus closely on the subject while also capturing the surrounding environment.

The RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM offers superb optical performance and enhanced control. It features a customisable control ring, allowing photographers to easily adjust ISO, aperture, and switch between AF methods. A separate focusing ring is also available, providing greater control during manual focusing. When used with compatible cameras, lens information is displayed for improved focusing assistance with the RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM. With its 11 optical elements in 9 groups, the RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM uses Super Spectra coating to reduce flare, capturing high-quality images every time. Ensuring super-steady shots and video, the RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM uses a 5-stop Image Stabilizer, which increases to 6.5 stops when used with an EOS R system camera featuring In-Body Image Stabilizer.

Offering a range of popular 15-30mm focal lengths, the RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM is ideal for travel photography, landscapes, or vlogging. This ultra-wide-angle lens allows photographers and vloggers to capture more of the scene, embracing the full context and scale of subjects like buildings and impressive natural landscapes. The RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM offers a 5.5-stop Optical Image Stabilizer, allowing for slower shutter speeds for handheld shooting and video recording. When used with an EOS R system camera with an In-Body Image Stabilizer, photographers get an incredible 7 stops of Image Stabilizer for steady shots and smooth video. Ideal for shooting on the go, the RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM weighs only 390g and features a compact size and robust design. Equipped with a lead-screw type STM motor, the RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM is capable of focusing on very fast-moving subjects. The exceptionally quiet STM motor is also highly suitable for video recording, providing vloggers and content creators with the necessary tool to shoot like professionals.

As a versatile lens, the RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM also provides fantastic macro photography capabilities. Photographers can experiment with manual focus to capture the world in close-up with incredible detail thanks to this lens's 0.52x magnification. With its new optical construction, the RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM includes aspheric elements and molded glass elements with special coatings to capture even the smallest details. The combined focusing and lens control ring allows the user to adjust settings without taking their eyes off the scene or subject.

Advanced Technology for More Creative Freedom
Developed based on the innovative design of the RF system, the RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM and RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM offer advanced optical technologies in compact sizes and lightweight designs, capturing exceptionally sharp images anywhere. As a wide-angle lens with a large aperture that allows photographers to capture high-quality photos and videos even in low light, the RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM is the ideal choice for those who want to explore the world around them through the high quality of a prime lens. For those seeking more creative freedom, the wide-angle zoom range and close-focusing capabilities of the RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM mean photographers can point their lens at everything from wide landscapes to miniature details.
