Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS Overview

By B&H Photo's

Covering a versatile wide-angle focal length range, the RF 15-35mm f/2.8 L IS USM from Canon is also characterized by its bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture. This bright design enables working in available light conditions and also affords greater control over depth of field. The range of wide focal lengths suits working in a variety of situations, from landscape to documentary shooting, and this zoom is complemented by an advanced optical design that greatly reduces color fringing and distortion for high clarity and sharpness. An Air-Sphere coating has also been applied to reduce flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in bright conditions.

Complementing the imaging capabilities is an apt Nano USM focus system, which delivers fast, nearly silent autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override. An Image Stabilizer also compensates for up to five stops of camera shake to help produce sharper handheld shots in difficult lighting conditions. A unique Control Ring is also integrated into the lens design for intuitive control over exposure settings from the lens itself. Additionally, this 15-35mm is weather-sealed and has a fluorine coating to protect the front and rear elements.

Wide-angle zoom lens is designed for use with full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras.
Constant f/2.8 maximum aperture maintains consistent illumination throughout the zoom range and suits working in available light conditions.
Two UD (Ultra-Low Dispersion) elements help to minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing in order to provide greater clarity and color accuracy.
Three aspherical elements are used to correct spherical aberrations and distortion for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.
An Air-Sphere Coating (ASC) has been applied to lens elements to reduce backlit flaring and ghosting for maintained light transmission and high contrast in strong lighting conditions.
An Optical Image Stabilizer helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by five stops to better enable working in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds.
Nano USM system utilizes both a ring type USM and an STM mechanism to realize quick and accurate focusing that is also smooth and nearly silent to suit both photography and video applications. This focusing system also affords full-time manual focus control when working in the one-shot AF mode.
Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.
Protective fluorine coating has been applied to the front and rear element to resist fingerprints and smudges and to make cleaning these elements significantly easier.
As a member of the esteemed L-series, this lens has a weather-resistant design that protects against dust and moisture to enable its use in inclement conditions.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.

Lens is beautifully made, operates extremely smoothly. Haven't had a chance to test the optics yet, but impressed overall.

It comes in a nice box!

Nice packaging... It smells good too! Hopefully the Canon R6 Mark II will be back in stock soon so I can actually use this lens!

Great all around.

Recently received the lens but I am confident this is now my go to lens for walk about. Very wide focal length allows for good landscapes, real estate photos, and group photos. The minimum focusing distance makes this a good lens for quasi-macro photography as well. I have not had a chance to try this for astrophotography yet but I am hoping the F-Stop is sufficient to make that worthwhile. If you are on the fence between this and the 14-35 L then I highly recommend this, the 15-35, it's wonderful to work with.

Sharp Lens, New View

This is my first ultra-wide lens and I'm still on a learning curve with it. But I like the extra latitude it allows from my usual view of 35mm -- and I like how it makes me see the world.

Its awesome to finally own a lens that can go out super wide. Must have for street photography. I routinely photograph boardwalks and you can fit entire large carnival rides into the frame with relative ease with this lens. Colors are great and the IS works as advertised. Completely satisfied with both the lens, B&H's customer service, and quick delivery times.

15mm decentered and bad corner

I wanted to love this lens. I bought it new and have sent it in to canon twice to fix centering issues apparent when shooting 15-19mm. They were not successful. Not sure if I got a lemon but figured it out too late.

super cool

Wonderful lens ,exceeded all my expectations, if your getting sub par results, you either have a bad lens or your camera settings need to be changed......
