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.

Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS Overview
By B&H Photo's
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.

The max magnification is 0.21x at 35mm. What is the max magnification at 15mm?
Thanks!
Canon does not specify the magnification at 15mm, but it is significantly less than 0.21x. You will achieve the greatest level of magnification at 35mm.

I am trying to decide between the RF 15-35 and the 24-70 lens. I would like it to be used for both video and photo. Any suggestions for which one I should get? Thank you!
It depends what you are photographing. People / events/ animals & portraits: 24-70
Landscapes and wide street photography interiors or architecture: 15-35
I hope this helps.

How does the image sharpness compare to the rf 24-105 for landscape photography?
The Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens is sharper than the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens in the center, it also has less barrel distortion, and less chromatic aberration but the 15-35 has a lot more vignetting when you shoot at 2.8.

Is it worth switching over to from the EF 16-35 f/2.8 iii?
It would only be worth it if you plan on using the EOS R system only.

Has anyone used this on a Canon c70? How does it perform with the 1.5x crop?
It's a very nice lens. Best ultrawide Canon has ever made.

I have been using a 17-40 EF 4L with an adapter to the R5. Is there sufficient reason to upgrade to the 15-35 2.8L IS?
That depends on if you need more light-gathering power with an extra stop and or need the extra millimeters of the field of vision along with the shallow depth of field. The Canon RF lens is sharper all the way around. The 15mm field of vision produces truly fantastic photos when applied to the right juxtaposition period.

I'm trying to decide between the RF 15-35mm or the RF kit lens 24-105mm. Which should I go for?
That’s a very subjective question. While the 15-35 is faster, one could argue that the 24-105 is more flexible given its greater focal range. Both are built well and have excellent image quality. I think if video is your primary focus, you might be served better by the 24-105. But for stills the 15-35 is a better option.
It really comes down to the field of view that you require. Are you working in tight spaces? If so the 15-35 might prove indispensable. It really is a personal choice.
