Canon Malaysia brings in new ultra-wide angle zoom lens RF10-20mm f/4L IS STM for RF mounts
Canon Marketing Malaysia has introduced the RF10-20mm f/4L IS STM, an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens designed for the RF mount.
Surpassing its predecessor, the EF11-24mm f/4L USM, the image quality has been further improved while being smaller and lighter. Plus, the newly integrated Optical Image Stabilizer combined with gimbals and rigs makes shooting intense scenes much easier.
At 10mm, it covers nearly double the area of 14mm and 1.4 times that of 12mm thus expanded field of view is particularly advantageous when capturing sizable subjects in confined spaces. The lens’s unique perspective effect magnifies nearby objects, making them appear more prominent, while also imparting a sense of vastness and endlessness to expansive scenes.
Simultaneously, its zoom capabilities provide the flexibility to frame shots more tightly, contributing to an extended range of creative expression while the ultra-wide-angle properties offer a field of view equivalent to 16-32mm on a full-frame lens when used together with an APS-C EOS R camera.
The RF10-20mm f/4L IS STM also incorporates Peripheral Coordinated Control, effectively mitigating peripheral blurring common with ultra-wide-angle lenses. This feature, in conjunction with optimized lens configuration and in-camera corrections, minimizes distortion and chromatic aberration throughout the entire zoom range. The result is remarkable image quality on par with, if not surpassing, the renowned reputation of the EF11-24mm f/4L USM.
In terms of the lens’ focusing system, the STM motor and focusing lens are now more effective in autofocusing on subjects that are smooth and precise. It also adopts Nano USM lenses’ position sensor for reduced startup time for some super quick shots.
For some last points, it is made with robust durability in mind thanks to the fluorine coating and resistance to dust and drips. Additionally, the control ring is there for exposure control while the new function button is reprogrammable for various functions.
