Canon unveils RF14-35mm F4 L IS USM lens

Canon has introduced a new wide angle zoom lens for EOS R-series cameras, including the upcoming R3. The RF14-35mm F4 L IS USM is Canon's largest zoom for a wide angle AF lens for full-frame cameras, and great for both video and photography.

The lens is ideal for landscape photography and video, interiors (particularly useful for realty videos and photos), and more. Canon also suggests it's a good option for travel vlogs and photography. If you have an EOS R5 or R6, or planning on picking up the R3, this would be a great lens to add to your RF collection.
