Canon has just introduced two new full-frame lenses for the RF mount: The Canon RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM prime lens and the Canon RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM zoom lens.

The minimum distance is 14cm (the lens itself measures 74.4mm x 63.1mm – diameter x length). It has a 52mm thread for attaching front filters and the lens construction comprises 11 lenses in 9 groups (including 1x PMo Aspherical, 1x UD). The iris diaphragm consists of 9 aperture blades. The entire lens weighs only 270 g. Canon RF 24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM. Image credit: Canon The lens has a...
