Two new lenses for sports and vlogging

The announcement of the first lens in Canon's new range of RF hybrid lenses has been accompanied by the launch of two lenses that come to complement their respective ranges.

On the one hand, the ultra-wide zoom lens RF-S 10-18 mm f/4,5-6,3 IS STM, designed for EOS R APS-C System cameras, offers a focal range of 10-18mm, making it ideal for travel, landscape, cityscape and vlogging photography enthusiasts looking for stable, smooth and quiet videos. Weighing just 150 grams, the lens offers 4 stops of optical image stabilization and up to 6 stops when combined with in-camera body image stabilization. In addition, it offers high performance when combined with Movie Digital Image Stabilization, perfect for content creators who shoot handheld and want to capture wide-angle scenes and include more elements in the frame.

The last of the objectives presented is the RF 200-800 mm f/6,3-9 IS USM, a 2,500-gram super-telephoto zoom lens designed to “revolutionize” the world of wildlife and sports photography and video. With an incredible maximum focal length of 800mm, Canon bills this as the “longest-reaching RF mount telephoto zoom lens on the market.” Its 5.5-stop image stabilization (up to 7.5 stops when combined with EOS R cameras that incorporate in-body image stabilization), fast autofocus, focal range and optical construction deliver high-quality images and videos, while the zoom is capable of making even small subjects stand out in the frame. Likewise, the device has sealing against water and dust, which ensures its resistance in the “most extreme conditions.”
