Fast, ultra-wide zoom lenses have long been staples for advanced and professional photographers.

Canon RF 15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM Review
The Canon RF 15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM is an ultra-wide zoom lens that's built to high standards, and includes both optical stabilization and an f/2.8 aperture—a rare combination among its peers. The Canon RF 15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM ($2,299) is a lens for pro photographers who crave wide angles and work in tight spaces. It's the glass you reach for when getting immersive crowd shots on the dance floor at a reception, or to capture cavernous urban environs. As the first wide zoom for the EOS R mirrorless system, it carries the pedigree of the Canon brand, along with the expectations that come with it. Thankfully, it's an excellent performer, albeit at a premium price.Craving a Wide View The RF 15-35mm F2.8 L IS USM is the first ultra-wide zoom for the full-frame EOS R mirrorless system, and one of the few of its kind with its own image stabilization system—it's a feature typically limited to F4 zooms of this type.

It measures 5.0 by 3.5 inches (HD), weighs 1.9 pounds, and has a flat front element with support for 82mm filters. A reversible petal-style lens hood is included, along ...- Wide zoom with fixed f/2.8 aperture
