Canon has just announced a new zoom lens that may turn some heads — and perhaps change some minds, PremiumBeat by Shutterstock has reported.
This lens is honestly a really great addition to your setup if you own a Canon EOS-R. You can essentially have any lens you’d want right at your fingertips in one lens system.
The report said that from the wider end of the spectrum (especially on a full-frame sensor) with 24mm all the way to a nice 240mm telephoto setup with extremely powerful in-body image stabilization, you can really get any photo/video that you’d want with this one setup.
Perhaps the only downside to the lens is the variable aperture, as well as the relative slowness of the lens (at an f/4-6.3 maximum aperture). However, since this is a full-frame lens for a full-frame camera, you shouldn’t have much trouble getting enough light.
The idea of having a pretty comprehensive photo/cinema camera rig for doc-style work or street and nature photography all in one set-up is very enticing.
