Canon has announced the RF 16-28mm F2.8 IS STM, a fast wide-angle full-frame zoom with a slightly more budget friendly price tag of $1,149.00 in the US or £1,249.00 in the UK.
The lens is constructed from 16 elements in 13 groups, with 2 aspherical lenses and 4 UD elements. At its long end, it has a minimum focusing distance of 0.2m (7.9"). The lens is weather sealed to provide some protection against dust and moisture.
A lead-screw type stepper motor is used for focusing and it also features optical image stabilization, rated for 5.5 stops of compensation at the center of the lens, or up to 8 stops when paired with a camera body.
The lens weighs around 445g (15.7oz) and is 91mm (3.6") long when retracted. It uses 67mm filters and can be paired with an EW-73E lens hood which is sold separately.
Pre-orders are already available at B&H Photo and other official Canon retailers.
