Why we recommend this

A 1:2 maximum magnification ratio and 0.66-foot minimum focus distance make this 395g lens a standout for close-up work in a standard zoom. Its 5-stop optical stabilization and smooth STM autofocus deliver sharp handheld video and stills, while the compact build keeps it highly portable. This lens is best for hobbyist EOS R-series shooters who want an affordable, lightweight walkaround option that doubles as a capable macro tool.

Why we recommend this ▼

Recycled from a disposable camera into a 35g body cap, this 32mm f/10 pancake lens delivers a distinct lo-fi, soft-focus retro look with a fixed aperture and a focus-free design sharp from 1.5 meters to infinity. Its truly pocketable size and manual-only operation make it an unobtrusive tool for spontaneous shooting, embracing the imperfections of its resin optics. This lens is best for street photographers and casual shooters who intentionally seek the vignetted, analog character of a toy camera on their Canon RF mirrorless body.

Best Pick

Canon RF16-28mm F2.8 IS STM 16-28mm

77 Travel Score
16-28mmf/22Canon RFISWeather Sealed
Why we recommend this

Weighing just 454g with a constant f/2.8 aperture and 5.5-stop optical stabilization, this is Canon’s smallest and lightest full-frame RF zoom for handheld low-light shooting. The leadscrew-type STM motor delivers fast, quiet autofocus, while weather-sealing and a 0.26x magnification offer durability and close-up versatility uncommon in wide zooms. This lens is best for landscape photographers and run-and-gun video shooters who need a stabilized, ultra-portable wide-angle zoom.
