Along with the launch of the Canon EOS R3, the company also released two new lenses: the Canon RF 16mm F/2.8 STM and RF 100-400mm F/5.6-8 IS USM. The RF 16mm F/2.8 STM is a compact and lightweight prime lens mainly targeted at vloggers and people looking for an extra wide-angle view, whereas the RF 100-400mm F5.6-8 IS USM would be great for sports and wildlife shooters.
