Review Summary

I use this lens for Real estate photography and My God it's so awesome. It does the job for what I need to. Love the feel and features. Only reason I went with 4 stars is because it's not a L lens so it's not as robust and on that note. A client hit my tripod and broke the lens.. But guess what. It's only 400 bucks and easy to replace if you dont have insurance. Manual isn't really a thing anymore in Real Estate. AutoFucus is great. Recommend for everyone in Real estate.

I use this lens on my R7 and am very happy with it. I'm an amateur just learning photography so I may not be the best judge of the performance but the images are sharp to my eye. I have used it indoors in aviation museums and the IS works great. I was able to get sharp photos at 1/60th shutter speed.

great lens for real estate photography! the main drawback is lens has a lot of vignetting at 15-16 mm. My Canon RP camera does not make adjustments to the vignetting on the photos. I had to rely on editing program to fix it all the time. I'm used to it.

I needed at least 16mm for my real estate photography. This one fits the bill on that issue. In the manual focus mode, there are no distance markings making it impossible to reliably set the lens to 6'

Slightly unintuitive, turning counterclockwise to zoom is a bit difficult to get used to. Good for wide angle scenery shots however. Not good for a lot else, as there isn't a lot of zoom.

For the price this lens is fantastic. It's nice and light and is pretty sharp. I used this for real estate shoots and it does the job just fine. Though unedited and raw you will get very heavy vignetting and distortion but as you see in my photo examples you can fix that in lightroom.

Compact and reaches all the way down to 15mm. However, I find that while it is sharp, it has a more "flat" (less 3D-like) rendering compared to the 16mm f2.8 at the widest angle. Things and subjects have more of a "pop" with the latter. Compared to the 35mm Sigma Art HSM (at 30mm focal length), the differences are even more noticeable. Overall it's a decent lens, and it is sharp, but colors look a bit washed out and the images lack depth.

Take your photography and videography to new heights with the RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM ultra wide-angle zoom lens. This high-quality, versatile lens is an excellent choice for both video content creation and still image shooting, offering features that significantly enhance both.
Designed for full-frame cameras, this lens boasts a 15mm ultra-wide focal length, providing an extraordinary super-wide perspective. The coverage extends up to 30mm, making it perfect for capturing everything from tight interior spaces to expansive landscapes. This lens also performs exceptionally well on APS-C sensor cameras like the EOS R7 and R10, offering a full-frame equivalent focal range of 24-48mm.
Despite its lightweight design at only 0.9 lbs, this lens is durable and feels solid in your hands. It delivers advanced optical performance with two Ultra-low Dispersion glass elements and one Aspherical element, ensuring sharp, crisp images and videos.
The RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens also features a unique close focusing feature that allows you to focus almost to the surface of the lens at the 15mm zoom setting, enabling the creation of truly unique images.
With built-in Optical Image Stabilization, this lens enhances your low-light shooting capabilities by providing up to 5.5 stops of shake correction, and up to 7 stops with coordinated IS. This innovative feature makes it an ideal choice for capturing sharp, blur-free images, even in challenging lighting conditions.
This lens is more than just a tool; it's a gateway to exploring your creative potential. Whether you're shooting stills or video, using a full-frame or an APS-C camera, the RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens is a valuable addition to your camera bag.
Experience the world differently with this ultra wide-angle zoom lens for EOS R series cameras. The combination of 15mm coverage on a full-frame camera can transform the ordinary into the visually extraordinary. On an APS-C size image sensor camera, you get a focal length equivalent to approximately 24-48mm coverage, offering a highly useful wide to standard-angle range.
The lens also boasts excellent image quality, featuring two UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass elements, one aspheric element, and Canon SSC (Super Spectra Coating) to minimize ghosting and flare.
With a minimum focus distance of approximately 11 inches (0.28m), and 5.1 inches (0.13m) in manual focus at the 15mm zoom position, you can combine the visual power of wide-angle coverage with excellent close-focusing. This opens up a whole new way of seeing small, nearby subjects, adding drama to your video and still images.
The lens also features Canon's stepping motor (STM) technology, which is particularly effective at producing smooth, quiet autofocus during video recording, even in low light. This makes the lens a perfect choice for multi-media content creation with quiet autofocus.
Despite its impressive capabilities, the RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens is compact and light, weighing in under one pound (approximately 0.9 lbs./390g.). Its compact size makes it easy to carry this versatile zoom lens almost anywhere, and at only about 3.5 inches long, it's perfect for selfies, vlogging, and more.
