Note: this camera lens is only suitable for Canon mirrorless cameras
Product information
Pros and cons
According to our camera lens expert
- The maximum aperture of f/2.8 makes the lens light-sensitive, so you can also photograph in low-light situations.
- This lens only weighs 165g, so you can easily use it to record daily vlogs.
- The silent STM autofocus motor isn't audible while vlogging.
- The lens doesn't have internal image stabilization to prevent motion blur.
Description
The Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM is a very light and compact wide-angle lens. It's suitable for Canon mirrorless cameras with an RF-mount. This lens only weighs 165g and is 40.1mm long, so it's very easy to carry with you in your camera bag all day. The lightweight lens is also suitable to vlog daily without getting cramped hands. Thanks to the ultra wide-angle perspective, you can easily capture yourself and your surroundings. In addition, you can use this lens when you photograph interiors or wide landscapes. The STM autofocus motor focuses silently, so you don't hear it in your videos. With the maximum aperture of f/2.8, you can photograph in dark locations, because the large opening of the lens catches much light.
Included by default
- Lens caps (2x)

We work as professionals with an L16-35 2.8 we were surprised with the results with this lens. A lens that is underestimated but should not be underestimated
