FAQs

1. Is this lens compatible with full-frame Canon RF cameras?

While it features a Canon RF mount, the "DC" designation indicates it is optimised for APS-C sensors. If used on a full-frame body, the camera will typically apply a crop, yielding a 24-450mm equivalent field of view.

2. How effective is the image stabilisation for video?

The advanced OS2 system provides up to 6 stops of shake reduction, making it highly effective for capturing smooth, handheld video footage without a gimbal.

3. Can I use this lens for macro photography?

Yes, it offers excellent macro capabilities with a 1:2 magnification ratio at the 70mm focal length, ideal for detailed shots of insects, flowers, and small objects.

4. Is the autofocus motor loud when recording audio?

No, the HLA (High-response linear actuator) motor is designed to be completely silent, ensuring your video audio remains free from distracting focusing noise.

5. Does the lens extend when zooming?

Yes, but it includes a convenient zoom lock switch to prevent lens creep while walking or transporting your gear.

Care Instructions

Keep your lens performing at its best by using a microfibre cloth and dedicated lens cleaning solution to gently wipe the water- and oil-repellent front element. While the lens features weather-resistant construction, always ensure the mount is completely dry before attaching or removing it from your camera body. Engage the zoom lock switch during transport to protect the internal barrel mechanisms.
