RF28-70mm F2.8 is STM

This lens is an excellent choice for still and video content creators looking for high-quality performance on a budget. As the smallest and lightest RF zoom lens with image quality comparable to L-series lenses, it features a fast F2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range, ideal for low-light shooting and achieving beautiful background blur. Its compact design and light weight make it perfect for everyday use without fatigue, aided by a redesigned image stabilization unit and electronic distortion correction for sharp, full-screen image quality. The lens boasts two Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) elements, including a large-diameter front UD element typically found in L lenses, along with two glass-molded aspherical lenses to minimize aberrations and enhance clarity. The leadscrew-type STM motor ensures quiet autofocus, making it suitable for video production, while the 28mm-70mm zoom range offers versatility for both indoor and outdoor shooting. Combining 5.5 stops of in-lens image stabilization with in-body stabilization delivers up to 7.5 stops of stabilization, enabling handheld shooting in low light. Additionally, the F2.8 aperture creates rich bokeh, providing both aesthetic appeal and the ability to use faster shutter speeds to prevent motion blur.
