Good to Know

The do-it-all Canon zoom for crisp, confident photos and video— from wide scenes to portrait close-ups.

Why rent it
Canon’s flagship standard zoom for the EOS R system is a true workhorse: bright f/2.8 for low light and creamy background blur, fast Nano USM autofocus, and real optical stabilization for steadier handheld shots. It’s the one-lens answer for events, travel, portraits, and run-and-gun video—sharp, weather-sealed, and ready for anything.

What’s included

  • Canon RF 24–70mm f/2.8L IS USM lens

  • Front & rear caps

  • EW-88E lens hood (and soft pouch when available)

Key features that matter

  • Constant f/2.8 aperture for low light and subject isolation.

  • Optical Image Stabilizer rated up to 5 stops (more benefit on IBIS-equipped bodies). 

  • Nano USM AF: quick, quiet, and smooth—great for video.

  • Minimum focus: 0.21 m (wide) / 0.38 m (tele); max magnification 0.3× for close-ups. 

  • Weather-sealed L-series build with fluorine coatings and programmable Control Ring.

  • 82 mm filter thread (perfect for ND/Polarizer). 

Ideal for
Weddings & events • Travel & street • Portraits • Documentary • Handheld video
