Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM Lens
Ultra-Wide, Feather-Light
The Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM is a slim full-frame prime shaped for makers who long for vast scenes without heavy load. At only 165g and just 40mm in length, it is a pocket-sized force for landscapes, grand builds, and vlogging tales.
Wide World View
With a 108° field of sight, this lens frames bold wide scenes with little bend. From sweeping horizons to close interiors, the 16mm reach brings deep, edge-to-edge sharpness.
Bright f/2.8 Gate
Its quick f/2.8 opening invites light in dim hours and crafts fine depth, perfect for night skies, star fields, and scene-rich portraits. A rare mix of speed and ease in the ultra-wide realm.
Glass Craft & Shielding
Formed of 9 pieces in 7 sets—one being aspherical—it tames flaws and bends. Canon’s Super Spectra coat clears flare and ghost marks, gifting crisp and bold images even in tricky glow.
Smooth Motion Work
The STM (Step Motor) grants silent, flowing focus—fit for filmers and vloggers. Full-time hand focus allows fine touch, while Canon’s breath control steadies cinematic flow.
Journey-Ready Mate
Be it trekking peaks or tracing city lights, the RF 16mm f/2.8 STM travels light yet strong. Its small shell and broad skill make it a key piece for lean kits.
Best For
Scene catchers, vlog artists, roamers, and all who seek a fair-priced ultra-wide with a pro spark.
