This classic wide-angle lens is excellent for travel, street photography, and video and is a great entry point for full frame RF-mount cameras. An ideal lens for every day, walkaround shooting, this 28mm f/2.8 is characterized by its bright design for available light shooting and apt depth of field control.
Lightweight and affordable pancake wide-angle prime lens is designed for use with full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless digital cameras
Everyday 28mm coverage for stills and video with full-frame cameras with an equivalent to approx. 45mm coverage when used on cameras with APS-C size image sensors
Bright f/2.8 maximum aperture suits working available lighting conditions, helps control depth of field, and contributes to the sleek form factor
Three aspherical elements help control distortion and promote a high degree of sharpness. Super Spectra Coating minimizes flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions
A gear-type STM motor offers fast, quiet, smooth, and accurate autofocus performance that is ideal for video recording as well as still shooting
Minimum focusing distance of 9.1", along with a maximum magnification of 0.17x, makes this a unique option for close-up shooting while retaining great depth of field
Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation
Seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality
Separately available EW-55 threaded lens hood

Does it works for Red Komodo ?
Asked by: Andres
Uh, no it does not fit. There are weird plastic pieces that stick out too far to mount into the Komodo. For some reason the 16mm f/2.8 stm and 50mm f/1.8 stm RF lenses don’t have this issue.
