Ideal for travel or general use, the Canon RF 28-70mm lens allows you to shoot many styles of photography without sacrificing image quality or being restricted by a fixed focal length.
Professional Durability
The Canon RF 28-70mm f2L is the perfect primary lens for ambitious amateurs through to working professionals. While not as compact as some other standard zooms, it’s worth the compromise on kit space for its exceptional versatility and performance. As part of the Canon L series of lenses, the Canon 28-70mm f2L is weather-sealed and fluorine-coated to guard against dust and moisture. As well as protecting your lens from outside damage, the lens coatings help to minimise chromatic aberrations and distortions and assist in capturing a clear, colour-correct image.
Innovative Design
Like many Canon RF lenses, the Canon 28-70mm features the latest in lens technology, plus newly designed programmable control rings that can modify the ISO, exposure compensation and aperture right at your fingertips. This, coupled with a high-speed CPU and a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM), means you’ll spend less time worrying about controls and more time concentrating on your photography.
