Ultra-wide RF zoom lens for mirrorless creators
The Canon RF 16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM is a full-frame mirrorless zoom built for travel, vlogging and architecture. Its 16-28mm range covers dramatic ultra-wide perspectives and natural framing in one compact barrel. Weighing 420 g, it adds minimal bulk to a kit bag. The constant f/2.8 aperture supports low-light work and shallow depth of field.
Constant f/2.8 aperture
The fixed f/2.8 maximum aperture runs through the entire zoom range, giving consistent exposure and background separation at every focal length. Built-in Optical Image Stabilisation delivers up to 5 stops of shake correction for sharp handheld stills and smooth video. STM autofocus operates quickly and quietly, suited to both photography and content creation.
RF-mount full-frame lens with 67mm filter thread
Mounts directly on Canon RF-mount cameras without adapters. The 67mm front thread accepts circular polarisers, ND filters or the included 3-piece filter kit. The bundle adds a 64GB UHS-I SDXC card, flexible tripod, sling backpack, cleaning kit, hand strap, card wallet, card reader and cap keeper. Not for shooters needing telephoto reach or a wider maximum aperture than f/2.8.

Questions about this item
How wide does the 16mm end actually look on a full-frame RF camera?
At 16mm the lens gives an ultra-wide field of view on full-frame RF bodies, ideal for expansive landscapes, architecture and immersive vlogging perspectives.
What does the constant f/2.8 aperture mean for exposure across the zoom range?
The f/2.8 maximum aperture stays the same from 16mm to 28mm, so exposure settings do not shift while zooming and low-light performance remains consistent throughout.
Will the 67mm filter thread accept my existing circular polariser?
Yes, the lens uses a 67mm front thread, so any 67mm filter — including circular polarisers — screws on directly without an adapter.
