On November 3, 2023, Canon officially released the RF-S10-18mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM, Canon's first RF-S ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, bringing a new shooting experience to photography enthusiasts. The lens's compact size, excellent optical performance, and excellent image stabilization make it ideal for a wide range of shooting scenarios.
Lightweight and compact, excellent performance
The RF-S10-18mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM has been designed with a focus on light weight, weighing only about 150 grams. This lightness makes it a great companion for photography enthusiasts traveling, selfie vlogging, and even indoor shooting. The focal length of the lens covers from an ultra-wide angle of 10mm to a wide angle of 18mm, which is equivalent to a 16-29mm equivalent focal length of 35mm full-frame, providing a wide angle of view to capture more picture details.
This lens features a lens structure suitable for short back focusing distances and effectively uses aspherical lenses to achieve excellent optical performance and minimize the number of lenses. In addition, with optimized lens shape and coating treatment, the lens is able to effectively suppress ghosting, making photos clearer and sharper. There are also two UD (ultra-low dispersion) lenses that correct chromatic aberrations across the entire zoom range, resulting in a more vivid, full-color picture with less halos.
Powerful stabilization technology
The RF-S10-18mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM is equipped with powerful optical image stabilization technology that can achieve 4 levels of stabilization and CIPA compliance. When paired with models such as the EOS R7 with in-body stabilization, it can even achieve 6 levels of coordinated stabilization. This means that even in low-light conditions or when using longer focal lengths, it is easy to take clear and stable photos and videos.
Convenient controls and functions
The RF-S10-18mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM also supports collaborative control of the IS of digital movies, as well as a focus breathing correction function (requires a camera that supports focus breathing correction). The lens is also designed with an integrated control ring, which functions as both a focus ring and a control ring, allowing users to easily adjust the focal length and other parameters, making shooting smoother and more intuitive.
Canon's RF-S10-18mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM brings an outstanding ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that combines compact and lightweight, excellent optical performance, and powerful image stabilization. Whether you're traveling, vlogging, or shooting indoors, this lens has everything you need to capture more of your best moments. Whether you are a professional photographer or an amateur, the RF-S10-18mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM will become an indispensable part of your creation, bringing more creativity and expressiveness to your photographs.
