At a Glance

The ultra-wide zoom for Canon RF on APS-C corresponds to 16-29 mm in full-frame equivalent. At 150 g it is compact, and an optical stabilizer is built in. A magnification of 1:2 (0.5x) at 8.6 cm minimum focus distance also allows close-ups. It suits landscape, architecture, product and macro work. The aperture is f/4.5-6.3.

Good for

  • Macro
  • Product
  • Landscape
  • Architecture

Worth knowing

  • APS-C image circle: on full-frame cameras only usable in crop mode, at reduced resolution.
  • Only f/6.3 at the long end: in low light, ISO or shutter time go up.
