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.

Just like brand new. Performs as well as my 35. I would not trade it for a new one. Colors are vivid and focus is crisp. I liked it so much I ordered an 85 to complete my prime line up!
Why Didn't I Know About This Lens Earlier?

I do quite a bit of event/party photography. I'd been using the 24-105 f/4.0. Looking through several recent jobs, I realized that I was shooting almost all the photos of event attendees at 24 mm, so I thought I'd try this lens, hoping the brighter aperture would be useful in both available light and flash situations. I took it to a memorial gathering yesterday at a private home and - wow! Super fast focusing, tack sharp images, great color and it enabled me to keep to a shutter speed of 1/125 at a decent ISO. As an added bonus, it much lighter than the big zoom. I only wish I knew about it earlier!
