Canon has announced the RF 10-20mm F4 L IS STM, a full-frame, ultra-wide, rectilinear zoom lens for RF-mount mirrorless cameras.
The 10-20mm F4 L IS STM includes in-lens image stabilization with up to 5 stops of stabilization independently and up to 6 stops when combined with in-body image stabilization.
The lens is constructed of 16 elements in 12 groups. The minimum focusing distance is just 0.25 m (9.84″) and the maximum magnification is 0.12x.
It measures 84 mm (3.31″) in diameter and 112 mm (4.41″) in length and weighs just 1.25lbs / 570g.
Here's a video from Canon introducing the lens:
This is the first Canon L lens to feature an 'STM' stepper motor to drive autofocus, which should provide quiet AF when capturing video. Additionally, the AF system includes a position sensor so the lens can return to the previous AF setting when the camera's power is cycled off.
There's also an integrated lens hood, 9-bladed aperture, fluorine coatings on the front and rear elements, and a dust- and water-resistant construction. There's also a rear filter holder for gelatin filters.
The RF 10-20mm F4 L IS STM will be available in November for a recommended retail price of $2,299.00 in the US and £2,579.00 in the UK.
