A great choice to fit with a smaller APS-C Camera

This is a great choice for the R-series APS-C Cameras (models R100 & R50). It gives you almost a classic 50mm focal length, but even better - makes your camera into an awesome slim & lightweight package for travel photography as your camera can more easily fit into a smaller bag or make your gear-layout to have that additional 'super-zoom' lens sitting right next to your camera inside your bag.

I bought this a few weeks before I was to go on vacation. I’ve been wanting to take on street photography, and wanted the 28 with my R5 Mark II. I love this thing! It’s sharp and light and just fun.

It's a decent lens

It's a very decent lens. I purchased a refurbished one. I think the STM motor on this lens is just a wee bit loud but nothing that can't be processed out in post processing when filming videos.

What a fun lens. I recently purchased this lens to make my R6 more of an everyday carry camera and it's perfectly done that. I have taken so many more photos for fun and it's given me more inspiration to take photos with my more expensive lenses too! I love how compact it is. The photos are sharp, bright (f2.8 is pretty decent), and the 28mm is plenty wide for most everyday things.

Incredibly compact, great picture quality
on February 12, 2025

The biggest benefit of this lens is how compact it is. It makes the size of your R camera + lens much closer to that of a cell phone and can easily be stuffed in a pocket when you are on the go. It allows you to use your R camera in places where even a moderate sized lens might draw too much attention such as events which prohibit cameras with detachable lens or the streets of Medellin where a big camera hanging off your neck will get snatched. That being said, it consistently takes sharp, bright photos and is attached to my camera probably 90% of the time. I will replace it immediately if it ever were to fail.

My new favorite prime lens. Perfect for travel.

Many years ago, when I used to own the Canon RP I said to myself, "If Canon ever made an RF pancake lens with a field of view similar to a smartphone camera, and if they don't charge an arm and a leg for it, I'll buy it immediately." They did, and so I did. This lens is a game changer for motorcycle day trips, hiking, and backpacking adventures where space and weight are at a premium. It's also amazingly sharp, which is great.
