Product Overview
Canon RF 24mm F1.8 Macro IS STM is a wide-angle prime lens for Canon RF-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Canon in 2022, it has 11 elements in 9 groups.
While the lens does not stand out and is not a true 1:1 "macro" lens, the RF 24mm F1.8 offers relatively fast aperture and good image quality for its size and weight. Professionals and enthusiasts may rightly question the durability of the entry-level build, but hobbyists may find it an interesting option.
The bright maximum aperture for a wide-angle lens is appreciated for night and astro photography, though some may prefer the perspective of an ultra wide-angle lens for this. The built-in image stabilization can be useful for some handheld video work and for low-light stills.
