Canon RF 28-70mm F2.8 IS STM

I was really impressed with this lens. Lightweight and amazing image quality. Normally I keep the 24-240mm on my camera and it's a great lens that covers everything. The 28-70 has even better image quality so much so that you can crop right in and still get a great image, which compensates for the shorter reach. At the wide end there is little difference between 24 and 28mm for my needs. So the dilema is, do I still need the 24-240mm? I think I could get the images I want from the 28-70mm.

With its fast – and constant – f/2.8 maximum aperture, compact size and relatively light weight, coupled with weather-resistant sealing, the RF 28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM lens slot nicely between Canon’s entry-level and high-end offerings, giving potential buyers a wider choice of standard, short-zoom lenses.

I got this lens because I wanted a light carry around lens with my R5. I had watched plenty of YouTube videos who highly recommended it not only for it's f2.8 aperture and weather sealing but the sharpness and beautiful bokeh from the images. I have been taking a few photos around the garden to test it out before I go on holiday and I'm not disappointed at all. It's a great alternative to the more expensive 28-70 f2 L lens. If you are on a budget, get this f2.8 version, it's a no- brainer!
