About the Product

- Half-life-size macro (0.52×) when manually focused at 15 mm

FAQs:
Is the RF 15-30mm sharp at 15 mm?
Yes – surprisingly sharp in the center from wide open and excellent stopped down to f/8. Corners improve quickly.

Does it work on APS-C bodies (R7, R10, R50)?
Yes – gives a still-useful 24–48 mm equivalent range with full IS and macro capability.
Can I use filters?
