Canon Unveils Ultra-Wide RF 10-20mm f/4 L IS STM Lens
Canon has unveiled its latest RF-mount lens, the RF 10-20mm f/4 L IS STM, designed as an ultra-wide zoom lens to cater to the needs of landscape, architectural, interior, and cityscape photographers. A successor to the popular EF 11-24mm f/4L USM lens, this new release offers even broader coverage with its 10mm focal length, all in a more compact and lighter body.

The lens is equipped with a high-speed STM autofocus system, and its close minimum focusing distance of 9.8 inches is ideal for close-up shots with a wide depth of field.
