A trinity essential.

The RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM lens is the first Canon brand 24-70mm F2.8 lens (for full-frame cameras) to incorporate Optical Image Stabilization. This lens is designed to work in conjunction with an EOS R series camera, with both the camera and the lens sharing data to dramatically reduce camera-shake blur, regardless of the situation, whether shooting video or stills. With up to 5 stops* of stabilization, it delivers impressively clear results.

The RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM lens is equipped with Canon's NANO USM system, which features a diminutive chip-shaped ultrasonic motor that's engineered to help deliver high-speed, smooth, precise and near-silent operation, during still image AF and smooth movie AF.

The Canon RF 24-70 F2.8L IS USM Lens comes with a full 2 year Australian warranty.
