But they are close together, and it takes some getting used to not to accidentally change your exposure when you actually wanted to adjust your focus slightly. The rings are all different in texture and shape. Behind the Lens Control Ring is the focus ring and the wide, curved zoom ring. That brings the total number of rings to three. With this you can, for example, set the aperture, the shutter speed or the exposure compensation. Just like the previously released Canon RF 28-70 mm f/2L USM, this Canon RF 15-35 mm f/2.8L IS USM also has a programmable ring at the front. If you switched to a mirrorless Canon EOS R because of the dimensions and the low weight, then this is not the ideal wide angle. This is really a lens that you buy because of the quality and versatility. But if you look for example at the new Sigma 14-24 mm f/2.8 DG DN for Sony and Panasonic, then the Canon is heavier. In comparison with almost all super wide-angle zooms for SLRs with a focal length shorter than 16 mm, though, the Canon RF 15-35 mm f/2.8 L IS USM is lighter. At 840 grams, it is even 50 grams heavier than the version for the Canon EOS SLR cameras. It is the same thickness and less than a millimeter shorter than the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM. This is a familiar feeling for Canon users. There is no play at all in the lens, and everything turns beautifully smoothly. Canon has a lot of experience with building lenses, and you can feel that immediately when you pick up the 15-35 mm. BUILD AND autofocusĪs we are used to from Canon L-series lenses, this Canon RF 15-35 mm f/2.8 L IS USM is also solidly built. But videographers will also appreciate the option because it makes it easier to work with ND filters. Certainly for landscape photographers, this makes it possible to work with polarization or gradient gray filters, for example. This is further enhanced by the ability to use regular screw filters on this lens. It makes this 15-35 mm the most versatile wide-angle zoom from Canon ever.
Until the arrival of the Canon RF 15-35 mm f/2.8L IS USM, you always had to choose between an f/2.8 version without image stabilization or an f/4 version with. This is the first bright wide-angle zoom from Canon that has it.
But the most striking aspect of the Canon RF 15-35 mm f/2.8 L IS USM is the image stabilization. That does not seem much, but a millimeter more or less on a super-wide angle makes quite a difference. Partly because it has a millimeter more range on the wide-angle side than its SLR counterpart, the Canon EF 16-35 mm f/2.8 L USM III. The Canon RF 15-35 mm f/2.8 L IS USM is a special lens. As a photographer, you can use it to photograph almost everything that you want. Together, these three zooms offer a range from super-wide angle to substantial telephoto in combination with high brightness. The Canon RF 24-70 mm f/2.8 L IS USM and the Canon RF 70-200 mm f/2.8 L IS USM complete the set and are now also available. For many photographers, it is part of a set of three: wide-angle zoom, standard zoom, and telephoto zoom. The Canon RF 15-35 mm f/2.8 L IS USM is the first f/2.8 zoom for the Canon R system. It actually offers everything that you would want in a wide-angle zoom. With the Canon RF 15-35 mm f/2.8 L IS USM, Canon has put on quite a performance. Even slightly heavier than the EF version.Slightly more range than the competition.TEST RESULTS: Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM:
