The fast, compact and lightweight F2.8 28-70mm zoom lens from the RF series with full-frame image circle, optical image stabiliser and weather protection - ideal for travel, landscapes, portraits and everyday creative work. Creative shots on a par - the high speed of 1:2.8 encourages you to work in low light and isolate the subject with a wonderfully shallow depth of field. This is ensured by the RF bayonet and the practical retraction mechanism as well as image stabilisation up to 8 exposure stops in combination with an EOS R series camera, which offers in-camera image stabilisation. The weather protection offers additional safety in adverse environmental conditions.
The powerful optical image stabiliser for 5.5 exposure stops1 ensures steady hand-held shots - even with longer exposure times. UD and aspherical lenses ensure incredible sharpness. The virtually silent STM drive ensures fast focussing when taking photos. It enables smooth focus transitions with focus breathing correction for video recordings, so that film projects can also be mastered effortlessly. The combined control/focus ring can be used to quickly adjust the exposure time, aperture or ISO value during shooting. And with the AF/MF/CONTROL switch, manual operation is also quickly under control.

Mechanically, the Sigma zoom is of higher quality, optically Canon is slightly ahead. To be fair, it must be mentioned that the camera's internal correction of distortion and vignetting helps a lot, especially with Canon's RF 2.8/28-70 mm IS STM. Incidentally, the classic 2.8/24-70 mm zooms from both manufacturers perform slightly better.
