We have put together this complete list of Canon RF & RF-S lenses to provide you with a quick overview of all of the Canon RF-Mount lenses that are available today and the latest firmware version for each lens. We’ve also included third-party RF-Mount lenses.
There is no doubt that this list will only grow over the coming years, especially if Canon’s RF Lens Roadmap comes to fruition.

Canon RF Lens FAQs
Canon has not officially clarified what RF actually stands for. Although many have hinted that it stands for Reimagined Focus or Revolutionary Focus as Canon often uses these words in marketing material for their full-frame mirrorless cameras. Also the EF mount stood for Electronic Focus, so there’s a very good chance that the F in RF stands for focus.
Canon says that what makes RF lenses better than their EF counterparts is the shorter flange distance between the rear lens element and the sensor. This allows them to focus the light more accurately across the entire sensor resulting in sharper images. From comparisons carried out so far it does appear that RF lenses are slightly sharper than their EF counterparts.
Canon RF lenses have taken years of research and development to achieve very high levels of optical performance whilst reducing size and weight at the same time, unfortunately this level of technology doesn’t come cheap. Canon lenses have never been the cheapest on the market either.
There is currently no adapter on the market that will allow you to use RF lenses on an EF-mount camera.
Currently the only cameras that support RF lenses are the Canon R, RP, R5, R6 and Ra.
There are currently 20 RF lenses available from Canon, 11 primes and 9 zooms.
