Canon RF RF 16mm f/2.8 STM 16mm

53 Score
16mm 22 Canon RF Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

Weighing just 181g with an f/2.8 aperture and weather sealing, this ultra-wide prime pairs a bright optical design with a customizable control ring. Its 0.26x magnification and 130mm minimum focus distance add creative close-up versatility rare for a 16mm lens. This is best for street and travel photographers who need a rectilinear, full-frame wide-angle that won’t weigh down a small kit.

Canon NiSi 9mm f/2.8 Sunstar Aspherical 9mm

44.3 Score
9mm f/2.8 Canon RF Mount
Why we recommend this ▼

The 10-blade aperture and specialized optical design produce pronounced sunstar effects even at f/2.8, while the 14-element construction ensures sharp, low-coma images for nightscapes. Its compact 363g all-metal body and 67mm filter thread make it a durable, easily packable prime for outdoor adventures. This manual-focus lens is best for APS-C Canon RF shooters specializing in astrophotography and landscape work who prioritize creative sunstar rendering over autofocus convenience.
