Canon RF15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM

Professional ultra-wide RF zoom with constant f/2.8 aperture

Released in September 2019, the Canon RF15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM is a professional L-series ultra-wide zoom designed for full-frame Canon RF-mount cameras. Its 15–35 mm range is useful for architecture, interiors, landscapes, establishing shots, gimbal work and dynamic handheld filming, while the constant f/2.8 maximum aperture remains available throughout the zoom range. This makes the lens practical in low light and gives filmmakers and photographers more control over depth of field than slower wide-angle zooms.

Optical stabilization and fast Nano USM autofocus

Canon equips the lens with optical Image Stabilization rated at up to 5 stops under CIPA test conditions on the EOS R at 35 mm. The stabilization is useful for handheld photography and video, while compatible newer EOS R bodies can coordinate lens and in-body stabilization. Focusing is driven by Canon’s Nano USM system, which is designed to combine fast stills autofocus with smooth, quiet focus transitions for video. A dedicated control ring can also be assigned to settings such as aperture, shutter speed, ISO or exposure compensation.

High-end L-series optical design

The optical construction uses 16 elements in 12 groups, including three aspherical elements and two UD elements to reduce distortion, chromatic aberration and loss of sharpness across the frame. Canon also uses SWC and ASC coatings to help suppress flare and ghosting in difficult lighting. The lens focuses down to 0.28 m and reaches a maximum magnification of 0.21x at 35 mm, making it possible to create close wide-angle compositions with strong perspective. The 82 mm filter thread accepts commonly used professional filters, including ND, diffusion and polarizing filters.

Built for demanding production environments

As an L-series lens, the RF15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM features dust- and weather-resistant sealing around key areas, as well as a robust construction intended for regular professional use. The lens weighs approximately 840 g, offering a solid but still manageable setup for handheld rigs, tripods and larger gimbals. Its wide field of view and constant aperture make it especially versatile for real estate, music videos, commercials, documentary work and location shooting.
