Canon RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM – Lightweight Wide-to-Normal Zoom for Canon RF Cameras

Compact versatility for the Canon RF system

The Canon RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM serves as an approachable entry point for full-frame EOS R cameras. Its light weight and compact profile make it easy to carry all day, helping you stay nimble whether you’re capturing city streets, family moments, or travel scenery. The 24–50mm range offers the flexibility to frame wide environmental shots at the 24mm end or cap detail with 50mm, supporting everyday moments and creative storytelling without a bulky setup.

What makes it special

• RF wide-to-normal zoom lens for full-frame cameras — a surprisingly light, affordable standard zoom.
• Versatile 24–50mm range (38–80mm equivalent on APS-C) for stills and video with EOS R series bodies.
• Optical quality supported by two aspheric elements and Canon SSC coating to minimize ghosting and flare.

In the hand, the lens balances well on newer compact R-series bodies, making everyday shooting feel natural. Its stabilization helps you capture in lower light or at slower shutter speeds without a tripod, and it supports Movie Digital IS on compatible cameras for smoother footage.

Stabilization and close-up capability

• Optical image stabilization — up to 4.5 stops of shake correction; up to 7.0 stops when paired with an EOS R body featuring IBIS.
• Minimum focusing distance of about 28.7 inches (0.73 m) with up to 0.28x magnification at 50mm for subtle close-up details.

Whether you’re shooting street scenes, vlogging, or documenting travel, this lens offers flexibility without extra bulk. When connected to compatible cameras, it supports Movie Digital IS for steadier video and can adapt as your projects evolve.

Creative ideas and everyday use

• Vlog with a wide 24mm perspective for establishing shots and natural subject framing without a bulky setup.
• Portraits and general photography at 50mm that preserve natural perspective while staying mobile.
• Travel days and daily moments where quick framing and reliable stabilization help tell the story.

Note: Results vary by scene and technique. The RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM aims to be a dependable, flexible partner for your Canon RF system, helping you explore new creative possibilities.
