Show Details

This lens is easily handheld on my R5, the total IS offers excellent image quality at very low shutter speeds. With IS and f2.8 its performance in very low light levels is astounding, I can get brilliant images at 1/6 sec. I preferred the EF version as it focuses internally while the RF extends the barrel, I hope it’s sealed as well as the EF. Only time will answer this.
