Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM Lens **OPEN BOX**

TheCanon RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro IS STMpresents a distinctive fusion of a wide field of view and a close-focusing capability, making it an exceptional choice as both an ultra-wide lens and a macro lens. This combination allows for close-range photography while preserving a sense of spaciousness and enhanced depth of field, in contrast to traditional telephoto macro lenses. This wide-angle prime is versatile, suitable for capturing a range of subjects such as landscapes, nature, and urban scenes, while its close-focusing feature enables detailed shots of nearby subjects amidst broader compositions. The macro functionality provides a maximum magnification of 1:2, achieving a half life-size image, with a minimum focusing distance of 5.5 inches. The bright f/1.8 aperture facilitates depth of field control and adaptability in various lighting conditions. Additionally, the lens incorporates one ultra-low dispersion (UD) element and one aspherical element to effectively minimize chromatic and spherical aberrations, resulting in sharp and color-accurate images. The application of Super Spectra coating enhances contrast and color fidelity by reducing flare and ghosting, particularly in challenging lighting environments. Furthermore, the rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and aesthetically pleasing bokeh effect. STM stepping motor offers fast, quiet, smooth, and accurate autofocus performance that benefits both stills and video recording needs. Optical Image Stabilizer minimizes the appearance of camera shake by up to 5 stops, or 6.5 stops with coordinated IS, to better enable working handheld in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds. Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.
