Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM Lens

Ultra-wide angles change how a scene feels, pulling the viewer into a landscape, a tight interior or a crowded street, and the RF 16mm f/2.8 STM delivers that perspective in a lens weighing just 165g. On a full-frame EOS R body it captures a 108° diagonal view; on APS-C models it behaves like a 26mm, a natural walk-around wide.

The bright f/2.8 aperture is a real asset after dark, letting you keep exposures short for night skies, city lights and dim interiors. Close focus is impressive too: subjects as near as 0.13m fill the frame at 0.26x magnification, creating dramatic wide-angle close-ups with the background still in view.

For vloggers, the wide view keeps your face and surroundings in frame at arm’s length, and the STM motor focuses quietly during recording. With a 43mm filter thread and a body only 40.2mm long, it is the kind of lens that stays in the bag permanently.
