Canon Marketing Malaysia introduces the RF10-20mm f/4L IS STM, an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens designed for the RF mount. This lens offers exceptional image quality, a built-in Optical Image Stabilizer (Optical IS), and remarkable portability, weighing less than half of the EF11-24mm f/4L USM. The reduced weight makes it suitable for use with gimbals, rigs, or on outdoor adventures.
Hunter Zhang, Director of Image Communication Business Division at Canon Marketing Malaysia, emphasises the lens’s ability to cater to diverse focal range requirements, enhancing the accessibility of this focal range for photographers.
Advantages of Going Wider: The RF10-20mm f/4L IS STM lens’s ultra-wide focal length offers a unique perspective, exaggerating relative distances. Objects near the lens appear larger and more impressive, while vast scenes gain a sense of spaciousness. This flexibility allows for creative expression.
Lightweight and Powerful: Traditionally, wider lenses meant heavier equipment, but this lens breaks that trend with a dramatic weight reduction. Weighing approximately 570g, it’s significantly lighter than the EF11-24mm f/4L USM. Its portability makes it ideal for handheld shooting and use with a gimbal.
Outstanding Image Quality: The lens features Optical Image Stabilization (Optical IS), allowing for long handheld exposures with up to 5 shutter stops of image stabilization. It also supports Peripheral Coordinated Control, compensating for peripheral blurring that can occur with ultra-wide-angle lenses. This results in excellent image quality.
Efficient Autofocus: The lens’s focusing system is optimised for efficient autofocus performance, providing swift focusing during photography and precise, smooth, and quiet AF drive during video recording. It’s equipped with a lens position sensor for quicker start-up.
Intuitive Design: The lens’s design, including fluorine coating, dust- and drip-resistance, and a control ring for exposure control, follows the esteemed L-series lenses’ standards. It also includes a function button for quick access to various functions. Additionally, it features a rear gelatin filter holder for creative filter use. Canon’s commitment to quality and innovation is evident in this ultra-wide-angle zoom lens.
