Canon unveils three new RF lenses and two new power zoom adapters for content creators

The best option for a hybrid workflow is the RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z; for smooth, expert control over this lens, use the Power Zoom Adapters PZ-E2 and PZ-E2B; for a small, lightweight ultra-wide zoom lens, use the RF-S 10-18mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM; and for the longest-reaching telephoto zoom lens for the RF mount3, use the RF 200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM.

Canon today announced the release of two new power zoom adapters and three innovative RF lenses that expand the creative possibilities of content makers of all skill levels. The best hybrid lens including two power zoom adapters that can be added on.

The RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z is a long-awaited advancement in lens technology for many photographers and videographers. With features from broadcast, movie, and ordinary RF lenses, this all-in-one lens basically functions as numerous lenses, creating a genuinely adaptable lens concept. It is the first RF zoom lens with Servo capability using optional power zoom adapters, along with a dedicated iris/aperture control ring.

It is intended to meet the growing need for hybrid shoots that combine photo and video material among professional creators. This high-end, feature-rich lens is ideal for shooting news, documentaries, corporate projects, weddings, events, and content for social media.

There is no longer a need to choose between these two qualities when pursuing the ideal shot thanks to the RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z, which combines the reach and convenience of the RF 24-105mm F4L IS USM lens with the creative and low-light capacity of the RF 24-70mm F2.8L IS USM. Additionally, the lens maintains 5.5 stops of optical image stabilization for unmatched image quality (up to 8 stops when combined with in-body image stabilization1), offering high image quality when shooting in dynamic situations like weddings or events and extreme stability for handheld movies. When combined with an 11-base iris for stunning bokeh, the smooth control iris ring (for video) provides precise control over adjusting exposure.

The new lens fills the void in the hybrid lens market by providing professional photographers with the desired quality for both still and moving images.

Important characteristics of the RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z:

• Four UD lenses to correct chromatic aberration provide clear, high-contrast photos, and excellent image quality and weather sealing give further durability.
• When filming, use the professional electronic parfocal focus capability and focus breathing suppression to keep a constant field of view.
• Internal zoom action, which keeps the barrel length constant and improves rigging, weather resistance, and operation smoothness
