This compact and lightweight 24mm prime lens combines a wide-angle field of view with a high light intensity for creative shots—even in low light. The optical 5-stop image stabilizer allows for longer exposure times and steady video recordings when shooting handheld. When used with an EOS R camera body that features in-body image stabilization, even greater stabilization is possible (up to 6.5 stops). The close focusing distance of 14 cm (at 0.5x magnification or half life-size) is a real advantage for creative wide-angle shots, allowing you to get particularly close and showcase the subject in its environment. A customizable control ring and a separate focus ring enable fine-tuning of focus, ISO, aperture, or changing the AF method.
