96.2 Macro Score
28-70mm f/2.8 Canon RF IS Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

Combining a constant f/2.8 aperture with a remarkably light 495g body, this lens delivers L-series optical quality through dual UD and aspherical elements in a collapsible, everyday design. Its redesigned stabilization unit provides 5.5 stops of correction, while the compact form factor and accessible price point make it a standout non-L standard zoom. This lens is best for hybrid shooters and content creators who need a fast, stabilized, all-day carry lens for both video and stills without the bulk or cost of professional glass.
