Members Martin Vronsky Posted October 11, 2023 Author Members Share Posted October 11, 2023 Quote The NEW Canon RF 10-20mm f/4 is the first autofocusing zoom lens that can shoot as wide as 10mm (and no, it’s not a fisheye). This mirrorless lens boasts a compact, lighter-weight body, optical image stabilization, and refined optics for excellent sharpness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Martin Vronsky Posted December 13, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 13, 2023 Quote Canon's latest RF mount wide angle, the 10-20mm f/4 L IS USM is a doozy. Nearly half the size and substantially less expensive than the EF version, it also goes even wider!
