MELVILLE, NY, June 29, 2021– Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, today announced the RF14-35mm F4 L IS USM
lens. This dramatic new lens brings 14mm, ultra wide-angle coverage to full-frame
EOS R-series users. On top of the ultra-wide capabilities, the 14-35mm zoom
range is the broadest ever in a Canon wide-angle zoom for full-frame AF
cameras. For many Canon users, one single lens can potentially handle all
wide-angle needs, from vivid, creative ultra-wide imagery to traditional street
photography.
The new wide-angle lens is designed for use within the
expanding family of EOS R full-frame mirrorless cameras, including the upcoming
EOS R3, currently in development. Whether you capture stills, video, or like
many creatives today – both – this new wide-angle lens from Canon can help elevate
users’ content game when capturing images or video in a wide variety of
situations, such as landscape, architecture, and travel.
A compact overall design, and extremely modest overall
weight of just 1.2 lbs. — along with excellent balance, during hand-held or
even gimbal-mounted operation — add to RF14-35mm F4 L IS USM inviting character.
A key feature, sure to appeal to many landscape and nature photographers, is
this lens’s ability to accept conventional, 77mm screw-in filters. This is
especially noteworthy on a lens for full-frame cameras with 14mm ultra-wide
coverage. Additionally, the lens’s close-focusing capability is exceptional for
an ultra-wide zoom of its type.
Image Stabilization further enhances the RF14-35mm’s
appeal for low-light still imagery, and for steady yet striking wide video
footage. Up to 5.5 stopsi of optical Image
Stabilization is built-in, and Coordinated IS with cameras such as the EOS R6
and EOS R5 delivers up to 7 stopsii of
shake-correction. This can mean sharper hand-held images in low light, even at
extremely slow shutter speeds.
The Canon RF 14-35mm F4 L IS USM lens features a bright,
constant f/4 maximum aperture, L-Series optical construction — highlighted by
three UD-glass elements, and three Aspherical elements — and many of the
company’s most advanced proprietary lens coatings, including Sub-wavelength
Structure Coating (SWC) and Air Sphere Coating (ASC). These superb lens
coatings help minimize ghosting and flaring. Lens placement and coatings are also
optimized to help users get clear, high-contrast images, even when there is a
bright light source either in, or immediately outside, the frame. Additional
features of the Canon RF14-35mm F4 L IS USM include:
- Compact
design — Approximately 1.2 lbs. in weight.
- Minimum
focusing of 7.9 inches at all focal lengths and a maximum magnification of
0.38x at 35mm zoom setting.
- Optical
Image Stabilizer with up to 5.5 stopsi
of shake correction.
- Up
to 7 stopsii of shake correction when paired with Canon EOS R
series cameras that feature In-Body Image Stabilizer (IBIS).
- High
speed, smooth and quiet autofocus with Canon’s Nano USM.
- Control
Ring for direct setting changes of aperture, shutter speed, ISO speed and exposure compensation.
- Superb
dust and weather-resistance on par with other Canon L-series lenses.
