Mixing a broad field of view with a close-focusing design, the Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM is a unique combination of an ultra-wide focal length and a macro lens. Pairing these two attributes, this lens enables shooting at close-range while maintaining a broad sense of space and increased depth of field compared to conventional telephoto macro optics.

Wide-Angle Macro Lens
Wide-angle prime is suitable for a variety of subjects, including landscapes, nature, and street, and the close-focusing ability helps to home in on nearby subjects in between photographing broad spaces.
Macro designation offers a 1:2 half life-size maximum magnification and a minimum focusing distance of 5.5".
Bright f/1.8 design offers both depth of field control and suits working in a variety of lighting situations.
One UD (ultra-low dispersion) element and one aspherical element control both chromatic and spherical aberrations for well-corrected imagery that is especially sharp and color-accurate.
Super Spectra coating has been applied to resist flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth, pleasing bokeh quality.
Autofocus, IS, and Design
STM stepping motor offers fast, quiet, smooth, and accurate autofocus performance that benefits both stills and video recording needs.
Optical Image Stabilizer minimizes the appearance of camera shake by up to 5 stops, or 6.5 stops with coordinated IS, to better enable working handheld in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds.
Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.

Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM Reviews
Great lens! One of my favorites.

I bought this to have a little more width than my beloved 35MM. It holds its own. Last week I did a shoot using it and it alone. I was not disappointed! It delivered! Crisp clear color. Bokeh looks great!
Fine for landscapes or street photography

RF 24mm f/1.8 IS STM: As is the case with most RF lenses, this one only works well when partnered with the in-camera correction enabled. It's sharp, fast and can focus close if you need it. It's small, lightweight and can produce beautiful, handheld landscape shots with the great internal IS even in low light.
Pricing at the more reasonable end of the Canon price spectrum means no weather sealing and decent, but not instant focus speed. It also brings positives of small size and light weight. For many users, this is a perfectly acceptable tradeoff. Fortunately, there is an available, reasonably-priced alternative source for a lens hood instead of the ridiculously over priced Canon item. I've used this with both a R5 (with latest firmware update) and a R6-II with wonderful results. If you can't produce fine images with this lens, the lens is NOT the problem.
