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

Is focusing fast and accurate for 4K video recording at 60 fps+?
Asked by: Virologist
Yes, the Canon RF 28mm f/2.8 STM Lens has a stepping motor that allows it to have fast and accurate autofocus in video recording at 4k and 60fps or more. It is not as fast as lenses that have the USM Nano focus motor, but it is still pretty good. Usually in video you don't need that fast focus though. That is usually an issue when taking photos in fast bursts tracking a subject as they move.
