Sharp and Wide: A Review of the Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM Lens

Canon’s RF mirrorless lenses have received lots of praise for pushing optical boundaries and for their great image quality. This great video review takes a look at one of those lenses, the RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM.

Coming to you from Gordon Laing, this excellent video review takes a look at the Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM lens. The 15-35mm f/2.8L comes with two Ultra-Low Dispersion elements for reduced chromatic aberrations, three aspherical elements for reduced spherical aberrations and distortion and improved sharpness, Air-Sphere Coating for reduced flaring and improved contrast, image stabilization of up to five stops, Nano USM for quick and nearly silent autofocus with full-time manual override, a customizable Control Ring, and fluorine coating on the front and rear elements to resist smudges. It also comes with a nine-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh. Beyond the optical features and improvements, the RF version also comes with an extra millimeter on the wide end over its EF cousin, extending its versatility. Altogether, the RF 15-35mm f/2.8L looks like a fantastic upgrade over its EF predecessor and a great addition for many photographers using Canon’s mirrorless system.
