Overview

The Canon RF 28-70mm F2.8 IS STM is a compact, lightweight mid-range zoom offering f/2.8 aperture and effective stabilization. Optical strengths include excellent center sharpness and pleasing image character, but it relies heavily on software correction for strong uncorrected distortion and vignetting. Build uses plastic with a retracting design, and the hood is not included. It suits enthusiasts seeking an affordable, portable f/2.8 zoom for travel and general use.
