Canon, a Japanese multinational firm specialising in optical, imaging, and industrial products, has announced the launch of the RF 14-35mm F4L IS USM, its widest RF lens to date. 

 

The zoom lens completes its RF trinity of kitbag-friendly, compact f/4 lenses which together offer enthusiast and professional photographers a versatile focal range covering 14-200mm. 

 

"The RF 14-35mm F4L IS USM joins Canon’s expanding range of class-leading RF lenses, built on the firm foundations of the EOS R System. When coupled with the innovative camera bodies, the full line-up of RF lenses deliver unrivalled optical performance and unlock new possibilities for photographers and videographers," a company spokesperson said. 

 

"Enabled by the RF Mount communication system, this lens takes advantage of combined lens and in-body image stabilisation on compatible EOS R-series cameras. It achieves a 7-stop benefit, when used with the Canon EOS R5 or EOS R6, with autofocus and control – making it a practical powerhouse for both stills and movie shooting," the spokesperson added.

 

Canon Middle East Regional Marketing Director - B2C Business Unit Bengü Topçu said: “We are excited for film and photography enthusiasts to experience this new addition to Canon’s expanding range of class-leading RF lenses. Through our extensive investments in lens design and high-precision manufacturing technology, L308 offers advanced features which reduce aberration and create pin-sharp images. 

 

"It comes with an Optical Image Stabiliser feature, making it suitable for both stills and movie shooting. This is perfect for shoots under any weather conditions whether in an indoor or outdoor landscape," Topçu added.

 

"Weighing just 540g, the RF 14-35mm F4L IS USM stands alongside the compact, lightweight RF 24-105mm F4L IS USM and RF 70-200mm F4L IS USM lenses to deliver a range of f/4 lenses at different optical lengths that can suit almost any photography need," the spokesperson said. 

 

"The lens features a class leading minimum focus distance of 0.2m and a 0.38x magnification thanks to its rear focusing system. This makes the RF 14-35mm F4L IS USM particularly effective in confined spaces, enabling photographers to squeeze an entire scene into the image," the spokesperson added.-TradeArabia News Service
