Brand Canon System Canon R

The Canon RF 24mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM pairs a wide 84 degree view with 0.5x close focus, which is an unusual combination. You can fill the frame with a small subject at 14 cm and still show the room, the table, or the landscape behind it, and at f/1.8 you can do it in the light that is already there.

It weighs 270 g and is 63 mm long, so it sits comfortably on the smaller R bodies, and the 52mm filter thread keeps polarizers and NDs affordable. Optical IS is rated to 5 stops, or 6.5 stops working with in-body IS. The STM motor is quiet and smooth, which suits video, though it is not as quick as the USM units in the L primes, and the hood is a separate purchase. If you are trying to decide between this and the RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro for everyday carry, we are happy to talk it through.

Wide Angle That Focuses Close

A 24mm that gets to 0.5x is a different tool from a 100mm macro. Because the focusing distance is only 14 cm from the sensor, you end up almost touching the subject, and the wide field of view keeps the surroundings in the frame behind it. You get the close detail plus the context, and more apparent depth of field at a given aperture than a telephoto macro gives you.

Bright Enough For Available Light

At f/1.8 this works indoors and after dark without pushing ISO into the ceiling. One UD element and one aspherical element handle the chromatic and spherical aberration that a fast wide angle tends to show, and Super Spectra coating helps when a light source is in or near the frame. Nine rounded blades keep out-of-focus highlights from going polygonal.

Small, Stabilized, Quiet

At 270 g and 63 mm long this barely counts as weight on an R body, and the 52mm filter thread makes filters cheap. Optical IS is rated up to 5 stops, or 6.5 stops working with in-body IS on a compatible camera. The STM motor is quiet enough for video, and the control ring can be set to aperture, ISO, or exposure compensation. The hood is not in the box.
