Canon RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM

Travel zoom lens designed for EOS R APS-C cameras

From shooting wide angle landscapes to portraits or sport, the versatility of the RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens will allow you to shoot in most scenarios.

Full frame and APS-C compatibility

Whilst the RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens is designed to get the most out of an APS-C sized sensor, it can also be used on EOS R Full Frame cameras¹. This makes the lens a great go-to for those wanting to expand their existing RF lens kit without worrying about adapters.
Lightweight and compact design

The light and compact design of the RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM is a great feature for those wanting an all purpose zoom lens without the heavy bulkiness of larger lenses, especially for those conscious about weight while travelling.

Helping to pave the way for our RF-S lens line, the RF-S18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM is an all-around lens that is ideal for creative photography and movies, the RF-S18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM combines legendary Canon Optics with a versatile zoom range and quiet operation for flexibility on the go. This lens was designed with smaller APS-C sensors in mind, and when attached onto a full frame EOS R camera, automatically enables the 1.6x crop mode. It offers 100% x 100% Dual Pixel CMOS AF coverage for APS-C sensors, and 80% x 80% Dual Pixel CMOS AF coverage for Full Frame sensors (in crop mode). Delivering remarkable performance for everyday use, the stepping motor (STM) helps ensure smooth autofocus and quiet operation, letting you capture videos with great audio and minimal background noise so you won't distract your subject in a quiet photo environment. Optical Image Stabilization provides up to 4.5 stops of correction, and up to 6.5 stops with Coordinated IS. This advanced image stabilization can result in sharper photos with minimal blur, even in low light situations. For landscapes, portraits, sports, videos and everything in between, the RF-S18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM provides great versatility with its magnificent optics, comprehensive zoom range and flexible design.

Centre focus macro

Equipped with a Centre Focus Macro function, the RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM allows you to shoot even closer while using Manual Focus. When zoom is set between 18mm and 24mm, you can focus from distance of only 12cm, a magnification of 0.59x.

4.5 stops Image Stabilizer

Get up to 4.5 stops of Image Stabilisation in lens, and up to 7.0 stops with coordinated control Image Stabilisation when attached to a compatible R Series camera with in body IS. This will assist with camera shake and reduce image blur when shooting hand-held in low light situations.
STM motor for smooth movie AF

The RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM is equipped with a lead-screw type stepping motor (STM) to allow for smooth and quiet drive action, making it a great option for creating video content.

In-lens optical image stabilization with up to 4.5 stops* of shake correction. Up to 6.5 stops when paired with EOS R cameras featuring In-Body Image Stabilizer

You can capture amazingly clear and steady results while shooting handheld photos or videos, even in low-light situations, and when combined with an EOS R Series camera with an In-Body Image Stabilizer (IBIS), you can experience the additional benefits of even more shake correction.

*Based on CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standards. Testing performed using the EOS R, R5, and R3 cameras.

lead type STM

A quiet stepping motor helps provide smooth autofocusing when shooting videos

The RF-S18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM lens uses a gear-type stepping motor to provide smooth and quiet autofocus when shooting both still and video, so focusing appears seamless while following a subject with Servo AF, or Movie Servo AF.
