The RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM lens is equipped with Canon’s NANO USM system, which features a diminutive chip-shaped ultrasonic motor that’s engineered to help deliver high-speed, smooth, precise and near-silent operation, during still image AF and smooth movie AF.

Minimum Focusing Distance of 0.69 ft./0.21m (wide), 1.25 ft./0.38m (tele)

With a zoom range that can cover a minimum focusing distance at 0.69 ft./0.21m (wide), 1.25 ft./0.38m (telephoto), and a maximum magnification of approx. 0.30x* the RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM lens offers amazing versatility with just the turn of a zoom ring. The RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM lens is capable of capturing sharp and detailed images from nearly any distance.

Control Ring for Direct Setting Changes

The RF 24–70mm F2.8 L IS USM lens has a separate, independent control ring that is located towards the front of the lens, which can be programmable for immediate exposure adjustments during still and video shooting. With the control ring, you can directly adjust settings such as shutter speed, lens aperture, exposure compensation and more. For photographers and moviemakers who would prefer a silent control ring, the clicking mechanism can be removed by a Canon service provider for a fee.

High-speed Communication with the Camera

Designed to quickly process data, the RF 24–70mm F2.8 L IS USM lens features the 12 pin communication system inherent in all RF lenses.

Lens Information Display

As part of the EOS R system, the RF 24–70mm F2.8 L IS USM lens works with an EOS R series camera to display the lens information right in the viewfinder – making it easy to confirm the lens’s focal length without looking away from the subject at hand.

In-camera Digital Lens Optimizer

The EOS R system’s 12 pin communication system enables the Digital Lens Optimizer, which works in-camera to combat aberrations and image deterioration, especially in the edges of the image frame when shooting at a large aperture. Data from the RF 24–70mm F2.8 L IS USM lens is transferred automatically to the camera body, facilitating near immediate correction for clear, detailed images.

Three Aspherical Elements and Three UD Elements

Taking advantage of the RF mount, the RF 24–70mm F2.8 L IS USM lens offers incredible optical quality and an exceedingly bright f/2.8 maximum aperture. It features 3 aspheric lenses for high image quality from center to corner and 3 UD lenses that helps reduce aberrations for minimized distortion throughout the image plane.

Air Sphere Coating (ASC) Minimizes Lens Flare and Ghosting

The RF 24–70mm F2.8 L IS USM lens features Canon’s Air Sphere Coating (ASC), which significantly reduces the occurrence of lens flare and ghosting regardless of focal length or the angle of light. This helps provide clean results with minimal distractions and aberrations.
