Canon RF Mount. The Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM belongs to Canon’s line of RF-mount lenses. It’s compatible with Canon RF cameras. It does not work with Canon EF-mount cameras.

Versatile 1:2 Macro. This unique lens’s combination of wide-angle versatility, 1:2 macro magnification, and a 5.5-inch minimum focusing distance make it great for a range of applications outside of macro shooting, including landscape, nature, street, and architectural photography. Its bright f/1.8 aperture and rounded nine-blade diaphragm give you great low-light shooting capability and shallow depth of field.

Advanced Optics. This lens’s nine-group/eleven-element optical formula includes one Ultra-Low Dispersion element and one aspherical element that combine to minimize chromatic aberrations and color fringing while providing high clarity, color fidelity, and sharpness. Canon has applied a Super Spectra coating to the lens elements to further combat ghosting and flaring, even in harsh lighting.

Built-In Autofocus. This lens uses a ring-type Stepping Motor to provide fast, accurate, and nearly silent autofocus performance for both still and video shooters. You also get full-time manual-focus override for precision adjustments.

Optical Image Stabilization. The RF 24mm f/1.8’s built-in image stabilizer compensates for 5 stops of camera shake on its own or 6.5 stops if you’re using Coordinated IS with a compatible camera, so that you can shoot in lower light and at slower shutter speeds without worry.

Configurable Control Ring. This RF mount lens features a new integrated, configurable control ring that you can use to adjust a range of exposure settings, including ISO, aperture, and exposure compensation.
