    The Canon RF 16mm F2.8 STM is a compact and versatile ultra-wide prime lens designed for full-frame Canon RF-mount cameras. Featuring a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture and a 16mm focal length, this lens is ideal for capturing expansive landscapes, architectural interiors, and creative vlogging content.

    The lens’s fixed ultra-wide angle enables unique perspectives and enhances depth-of-field control, making it a great choice for both close-up shots and wide-angle photography. The 5.11-inch minimum focusing distance allows for striking close-ups with a broad background, while the circular 7-blade aperture produces beautifully soft background bokeh.

    Canon’s RF 16mm F2.8 STM lens incorporates a stepping motor (STM) that ensures smooth and silent autofocus, making it especially suitable for video recording and live view photography. The lens is also lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry and perfect for travel or urban photography.

    The lens features a dual-function control ring that allows direct adjustments to various settings such as aperture, shutter speed, and exposure compensation. With its optical design, which includes one aspherical element and Canon's Super Spectra Coating (SSC), this lens delivers high image quality with minimal aberrations and flare.
