The Canon RF 28mm f/2.8 STM is an exceptionally lightweight and affordable pancake-style lens for full-frame cameras. It is characterized by its bright design for available light shooting and apt depth of field control. Three aspherical elements help control distortion and promote a high degree of sharpness. Super Spectra Coating minimizes flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions. A gear-type STM motor offers fast, quiet, smooth, and accurate autofocus performance that is ideal for video recording as well as still shooting. Seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality. Minimum focusing distance of 9.1", along with a maximum magnification of 0.17x, makes this a unique option for close-up shooting.
