Canon released its much-awaited second full-frame mirrorless camera, the Canon EOS RP<\/a> in 2019. For beginners, it\u2019s the ideal entry-level full-frame Canon mirrorless camera. As the smallest, lightest, and most budget-friendly Canon EOS camera to date, it gives aspiring photographers an attractive opportunity to start their creative full-frame mirrorless journey. This article will help you find the best Canon EOS RP lenses for your photography needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This brand new and incredibly handy camera boasts a 26.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor paired with Canon\u2019s latest DIGIC 8 imaging processor, which allows the camera to produce 4K videos and capture images in low-light conditions. It may not be on the same level as the pricier EOS R<\/a>, EOS R3<\/a>, EOS R5<\/a>, or EOS R6<\/a>, but, with the right lenses, users will be able to make the most of its full-frame imaging capabilities and produce images of excellent quality.<\/p>\n\n\n

Canon EOS RP: Why you should choose this camera<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So why should you choose the Canon EOS RP<\/a>? Quite simply, the Canon EOS RP is one of the best full frame mirrorless cameras for photography you can buy at this price point and camera segment. It\u2019s also a great choice for photographers who wants to take the next step to full frame and invest in a camera and lens system that is truly exceptional. And that’s exactly the Canon EOS R camera and RF lens series lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the smallest and lightest full-frame camera in Canon\u2019s mirrorless collection, the Canon EOS RP is a great option for photographers who want plenty of features in a small package. One of the biggest draws to the Canon EOS RP is its size. It\u2019s the lightest and smallest full-frame Canon EOS camera ever built. It is perfect for travel and on-the-go photographers. But it also packs so many amazing features into its small size, which makes it such a good camera. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the 26.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and DIGIC 8 image processor to its fast and accurate Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus, built-in electronic viewfinder, and vari-angle LCD touchscreen, the Canon EOS RP is a camera built to take your photography to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canon EOS RP Lenses & Lens Compatibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because of the mirrorless design, lenses for the RP are mounted much closer to the image plane than on DSLR cameras. This results in improved performance and optical quality. You can still take advantage of any of the Canon EFS or EF lenses by using one of the available lens adapters<\/a>. However, the growing selection of RF lenses is designed to work seamlessly with the Canon EOS RP\u2019s large internal lens mount diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RP has a 12-pin mount connection for lenses, so communication between the camera and lens is much faster and more detailed than what\u2019s currently available on other camera bodies. The result is faster autofocusing, better metering, more accurate and reliable image stabilization, and improved overall responsiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canon announced the discontinuation of older EFS and EF lenses, so they\u2019re going all-in on the RF mount. This is great news for photographers who shoot with the Canon EOS RP, ensuring the development and release of even more RF lenses in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canon already offers a wide range of RF lenses for full frame mirrorless cameras, including prime lenses and versions of popular zoom lenses. Focal lengths from 15mm all the way up to 800mm are available for use with the Canon EOS RP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re looking for a fast prime, a versatile zoom, a shallow depth-of-field lens for shooting macro, or a workhorse full frame lens for shooting weddings, there are so many options to choose from. If you\u2019re waiting for an improved lens lineup before investing in a mirrorless camera like the Canon EOS RP, it just may be time to make the switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are those dedicated lenses and one EF lens that we would highly recommend you try with the EOS RP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canon RF 85mm f\/2 Macro IS STM Lens<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Canon RF 85mm f\/2 Macro IS STM lens is a fantastic RF prime lens for the Canon EOS RP. The 85mm focal length is perfect for portrait<\/a> and street photography. Its bright, flat aperture of f\/2 makes it great for low light situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canon RF 85mm f\/2 Macro IS STM lens also has built-in optical image stabilization with up to 5 stops of shake correction and Hybrid IS. This compensates for camera shifting and shake during macro shooting. And with a minimum focusing distance of 1.15 feet, this lens can excel even when shooting extremely close to your subject. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
