Benefits
- At 16mm, the RF 16mm F2.8 STM’s full-frame focal length is ultra-wide, offering great creative opportunities for vlogging, interiors, environmental portraits, astrophotography and landscapes
- The STM lens motor offers refined, quiet focusing and great smoothness. It is fast for photo, and provides that stunning cinematic look for video, too
- The lens has a fast f/2.8 aperture, delivering smooth highlights, great for landscapes with lots of foreground, as well as depth-of-field control when you want to vlog
- The RF 16mm F2.8 STM weighs only 165 g and measures just 40.2mm in length, so you can leave it on your camera all day or pack it in your kitbag and take it out for spontaneous creative moments
- The lens features nine lens elements in seven groups with a single PMo aspheric lens for excellent colour rendition and crisp, contrasty images – great for architecture photography and travel
- When shooting in crop mode, the RF 16mm F2.8 STM becomes a 25.6mm wide-angle – effectively a second lens – making it ideal for content creators seeking more options

Overview
The RF 16mm F2.8 STM is the ultimate affordable EOS R-series ultra wide-angle lens for vlogging, filmmaking, travel and more. For crisp, clear wide views this lightweight and super compact full frame 16mm lens will transform your images and videos, inspiring creativity at every opportunity – from landscape and architecture photography to environmental portraits and even astrophotography. Thanks to the advantages of the RF mount, this is a beautifully compact, lightweight optic with high performance, perfect for Canon’s full frame EOS R-series cameras. The focus ring is electronic for precise control while an aspherical lens element helps deliver sharp images. And because the angle-of-view is so wide, it’s the perfect lens for selfies too!
