Following the development announcement of six RF lenses in February and the recently launched RF 85mm F1.2L USM, the RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM is the second lens to be introduced in 2019 and has the highest zoom in the range. Here are the USP’s

  • 24-240mm Zoom Range
  • 5 Stop IS with Dynamic IS
  • Aspheric and Ultra-Dispersal Lens Elements and Super Spectra Coating
  • Circular 7-Bladed f/4-6.3 Aperture
  • Switchable Focus/Control Ring
  • Built in DLO Profile and Electronic Distortion Correction

And this is what our Canon ambassador Richard Walsh has to say about the lens after testing it in Norway:

Canon Ambassador and action / sports photographer Richard Walch recently completed a 12-day voyage along the coast of Norway from Bergen to Kirkenes. In his kit bag was a RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM.

On using the lens, Walch said: “I wanted to take this lens on a journey to test its true ability. My mission was to find the counter perspective; land to water and water to land. With its great versatility I wanted this lens for those spur-of-the-moment captures along my travels. Norway’s beauty is astounding – and when you find yourself in a place of greatness such as this you feel compelled to do the landscape justice with outstanding imagery. This lens is the perfect travel lens and an ideal choice for photographers entering the world of the EOS R System – it is compact and light, yet does not compromise on quality. A great choice if you want an all-in-one lens. For those looking to push their creative boundaries on the go – I’d highly recommend the RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM.”
