Canon RF 15-35mm F2.8 IS USM

A fast ultra-wide zoom with image stabilization, delivering sharp performance and flexibility for landscapes, architecture, events, and cinematic wide-angle shots.

The Canon RF 15–35mm f/2.8L IS USM is a professional wide-angle zoom lens designed for Canon’s RF-mount mirrorless cameras. Covering an ultra-wide to standard-wide range, it excels at capturing expansive environments, architectural interiors, group shots, and dynamic cinematic perspectives. Its constant f/2.8 maximum aperture provides excellent low-light performance and depth of field control, while the optical design ensures edge-to-edge sharpness and minimal distortion.

Built-in image stabilization (up to 5 stops) adds versatility for handheld photography and video, particularly in challenging lighting. The lens uses Canon’s Nano USM motor, offering fast, silent, and smooth autofocus — making it just as suitable for video as for stills. As part of Canon’s L-series, it’s weather-sealed and built to handle professional use in demanding environments.
