6-stop image stabilisation with IBIS and OIS

The optical image stabilisation with 5-stop compensation minimises vibration and motion blur, allowing you to take sharp photos, even without a tripod. This is useful in low light or moving subjects. IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilization) combined with OIS provides even more powerful stabilisation with 6-stops of compensation, making this combination ideal for challenging shooting conditions.

Quiet and smooth focusing

The STM motor in the Canon RF 10-20mm f4 L IS STM Lens ensures quiet and smooth focusing. This makes the lens suitable for a wide range of applications, from photography and videography to vlogging, and offers an excellent balance between performance and quietness. The lens design includes a programmable control ring, allowing intuitive adjustment of exposure settings directly through the lens.

Sharp and clear images from edge to edge

The optics consist of a single Super UD element, three conventional UD elements and three aspherical elements, aimed at reducing chromatic aberration and distortion throughout the entire zoom range. This design ensures uniform sharpness and clarity from edge to edge. Additionally, SWC and ASC coatings are applied to reduce lens flare and ghosting, resulting in improved contrast and colour fidelity.

Optimised for interior photography

With a minimum focusing distance of 25 centimetres and a magnification of 0.06x, the RF 10-20mm is also very suitable for use in tight spaces, ideal for interior photography.

Gelatine filter holder

The Canon RF 10-20mm f4 L IS STM Lens has a gelatine filter holder at the rear. Here you can place pre-cut ND gels, which you use to control the light level when taking landscape photos.

FAQs:

What types of photography are suitable for the Canon RF 10-20mm f4 L IS STM Lens?

Thanks to its ultrawide focal length, the Canon RF 10-20mm f4 L IS STM Lens is perfect for capturing landscapes, tight interiors, architecture, etc. At 10mm, this lens will expand your view, packing more detail into your frame and emphasising perspective to create everything from sweeping cityscapes and real-estate masterpieces to rural panoramas and establishing shots.

What does STM stand for?

STM stands for ‘stepper motor’ and is the driving force behind autofocus performance. As the first L-series lens to feature STM technology for smooth, fast, and near-silent linear focusing, the Canon RF 10-20mm f4 L IS STM Lens is an incredibly flexible option for photographers and filmmakers alike.

How compact is the Canon RF 10-20mm f4 L IS STM Lens?

This professional lens is compact enough to earn a permanent place in your bag. It weighs only 570g and measures 83.7 x 112mm in size - an easy option to store and transport from one shooting location to the next.

What EOS bodies work with the Canon RF 10-20mm f4 L IS STM Lens?

Users can pair the Canon RF 10-20mm f4 L IS STM Lens with IBIS-equipped EOS R system mirrorless cameras to maximise the potential of the peripheral control image stabiliser. Photographers can find this capability on high-end models like the R3 and R5 and mid-range cameras like the R6 II.

Can I use filters with the Canon RF 10-20mm f4 L IS STM Lens?

Yes, the Canon RF 10-20mm f4 L IS STM Lens has a rear filter holder for use with 35 x 20mm gelatine filters.

What is a Canon L-series lens?

Canon’s L-series lenses are designed to provide unrivalled optical performance in challenging lighting conditions and environments. As a representative of the best optical technology, the Canon RF 10-20mm f4 L IS STM Lens features one SUD element, three UD and three Gmo Aspherical elements for high-resolution results. It also benefits from ASC, Super Spectra and SWC coatings to minimise ghosting and flare.
