Description
Canon RF 15-35mm
The Canon RF 15-35mm f2.8L IS USM Lens features an impressive, and bright f2.8 aperture – allowing you to shoot in low-light conditions, and also great for shallow depth-of-field.
Covering a versatile wide-angle focal length range, the RF 15-35mm f2.8L IS USM from Canon is also characterized by its bright f2.8 constant maximum aperture. This bright design enables working in available light conditions and also affords greater control over depth of field. The range of wide focal lengths suits working in a variety of situations, from landscape to documentary shooting, and this zoom is complemented by an advanced optical design that greatly reduces colour fringing and distortion for high clarity and sharpness. An Air-Sphere coating has also been applied to reduce flare and ghosting for improved contrast and colour fidelity when working in bright conditions.
Complementing the imaging capabilities is an apt Nano USM focus system, which delivers fast, nearly silent autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override. An Image Stabilizer also compensates for up to five stops of camera shake to help produce sharper handheld shots in difficult lighting conditions. A unique Control Ring is also integrated into the lens design for intuitive control over exposure settings from the lens itself. Additionally, this 15-35mm is weather-sealed and has a fluorine coating to protect the front and rear elements.
5-Stop Image Stabilisation
The Canon RF 15-35mm f2.8L IS USM Lens sports a 5-Stop Optical Image Stabilisation which is great at minimising the appearance of camera shake by 5 stops. Having the 5-stop Image Stabilisation built-in will benefit in low-light conditions and when shooting at slower shutter speeds.
L-Series, Weather-Sealed Construction
Thanks to L-series quality, the Canon RF 15-35mm f2.8L IS USM Lens allows you to shoot confidently in all conditions. The lens construction features weather-sealing and fluorine coatings on the front and rear elements to protect it against dust and water drops.
Configurable Control Ring
Built-in to the lens barrel of the Canon RF 15-35mm f2.8L IS USM Lens is a configurable Control Ring, that enables you to adjust a variety of exposure settings, such as ISO, exposure compensation and aperture.
9-Bladed Circular Diaphragm
The 9-blade rounded diaphragm featuring in the Canon RF 15-35mm f2.8L IS USM Lens, contributes to beautiful, and smooth bokeh quality.

Optical Design
The Canon RF 15-35mm f2.8L IS USM Lens design consists of three aspherical and two UD lens elements to ensure that sharpness is always top priority, and also to reduce distortion and colour fringing from occurring.
- Wide-angle zoom lens is designed for use with full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras.
- Constant f2.8 maximum aperture maintains consistent illumination throughout the zoom range and suits working in available light conditions.
- Two UD (Ultra-Low Dispersion) elements help to minimize chromatic aberrations and colour fringing in order to provide greater clarity and colour accuracy.
- Three aspherical elements are used to correct spherical aberrations and distortion for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.
- An Air-Sphere Coating (ASC) has been applied to lens elements to reduce backlit flaring and ghosting for maintained light transmission and high contrast in strong lighting conditions.
- An Optical Image Stabilizer helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake by five stops to better enable working in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds.
- Nano USM system utilizes both a ring type USM and an STM mechanism to realize quick and accurate focusing that is also smooth and nearly silent to suit both photography and video applications. This focusing system also affords full-time manual focus control when working in the one-shot AF mode.
- Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.
- Protective fluorine coating has been applied to the front and rear element to resist fingerprints and smudges and to make cleaning these elements significantly easier.
- As a member of the esteemed L-series, this lens has a weather-resistant design that protects against dust and moisture to enable its use in inclement conditions.
- Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
