Canon RF 28-70mm F2 L USM Standard Zoom for EOS R-Series Cameras

56.2 Landscape Score
70mm f/2 Canon RF Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

Its standout feature is a constant f/2 maximum aperture across its 28-70mm range, offering exceptional low-light performance and background blur uncommon for a standard zoom. The lens incorporates specialized elements like Super UD glass and an Air Sphere Coating to control chromatic aberration, flare, and ghosting for high image quality. This lens is best for Canon EOS R photographers who prioritize a versatile, fast-aperture zoom for portraits and events over portability, given its substantial 1429g weight.
