By Photo’s Bjorn Petersen Ultra-Wide Zoom, Ultra-Versatile Design Compact with wide-angle versatility, the Canon RF 15-30mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM pairs a portable design with a flexible focal length range ideal for landscape, architecture, and street subjects. Complementing the ultra-wide to wide range is also an Optical Image Stabilizer to reduce camera shake and a stepping AF motor that suits both photo and video uses. Portable Zoom

• Covering ultra-wide to wide-angle fields of view, this lens spans a useful range of focal lengths for a variety of subject types, including landscape, architecture, interiors, and street applications.
• Modest variable maximum aperture contributes to a compact, lightweight design that’s ideal for travel and walkaround shooting.
• Two UD (ultra-low dispersion) glass elements control a variety of chromatic aberrations for high clarity and color accuracy.
• One aspherical element reduces spherical aberrations and distortion for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.
• Super Spectra Coating minimizes flare and ghosting for greater contrast when working in strong lighting conditions.
• Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.

Autofocus and Image Stabilization

• An Optical Image Stabilizer helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by up to 5.5 stops, or 7 stops with coordinated IS, to better enable working in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds.
• STM stepping motor offers fast, quiet, smooth, and accurate autofocus performance that is ideal for video recording as well as still shooting.
• Close-up focusing capabilities enables working with a 1:2 maximum magnification and a 5.1″ minimum focusing distance to suit photographing nearby subjects.

Low cost but quality images.

I selected this lens to use on my eos rp. I love Canon L lenses but can’t afford them. While this is clearly not built like an L lens I find it difficult to tell the difference in my photos. I’m a very happy camper.

Value for money

By Jesse Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2022-09-25

I’ve been looking for a lightweight ultrawide lens for backpacking to replace my adapted EF 16-35 f/4 IS and I think I’ve found it. This lens is somehow sharper in the corners at f/8 than the RF 15-35 f/2.8. Central contrast and detail is definitely not as good as that $2300 lens, but you need to zoom in to 200% to notice; at 100% it’s VERY subtle. There’s some heavy vignetting wide open, but I’m looking for a landscape lens that I’ll use stopped down between f/8 & f/11 and this performs amaaaazingly within those parameters.

Good ultra wide angular

By Claude Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2022-09-12

At this price point, and given the very good image quality there is not much to add.

great for the money

Versdatile shooter on a budget

Great Value

By joseph Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2022-09-02

I bought this for travel and landscapes and it has met my needs. This lens is sharp, light and compact. I wish this came with a lens hood but for the price it’s affordable. It’s worth the money.

Great lightweight lens with excellent IS performance

By Vasha Rated 5 out of 5 Date: 2022-11-16

This is a great lens for photographing houses handheld – The IS works down to a 1/4 second exposure if you’re using good technique.

Great lens for the price

By Mike Rated 4 out of 5 Date: 2022-09-28

I’ve always been leary of variable aperture lenses but the price was too good to pass up. I gave it a try and I was really impressed. Light, compact and image quality is really good. My only negative is that the lens has no AF/MF switch. You have to change that through the menu within the camera menu.
