The RF lens mount was developed by Canon and launched in 2018, alongside the EOS R mirrorless camera system to replace the EF mount. The shorter flange distance of the RF mount means that Canon RF lenses can only be used on Canon’s mirrorless EOS R cameras; they are not backward compatible with DSLR cameras using the older EF mount.

While Canon initially continued to develop several more EF mount DSLRs after the launch of the RF mount, they stated publicly at the beginning of 2020 that there would be no more Canon EF lenses for DSLRs. Since then, the Canon RF lens range has expanded rapidly. In this guide, you’ll find detailed specifications of every Canon RF lens and a release date timeline.

Canon RF Lens Terminology Key

Below is a very brief overview of the most common acronyms and abbreviations found within the names of Canon RF lenses. For a more detailed explanation of these and other Canon lens terminology, such as lens coatings and focus motor designs, please take a look at our in-depth Canon lens terminology guide.

RF – The letters RF designate the lens as designed for Canon’s full-frame mirrorless system using the RF mount. (Canon’s DSLRs used the EF Mount)
L – Canon’s L-Series lenses, or Luxury lenses, feature their highest level of optical performance and pro-level weather sealing and construction.
IS – The lens is equipped with Image Stabilization gyros which dampen vibration and camera movement to deliver a sharper image.
STM – These lenses feature Canon’s Stepper Motor technology, designed for smoother and near-quiet focussing during video recording.
VR – Stereoscopic lenses designed for virtual reality productions, and compatible with Canon’s EOS VR Utility software.
DS – Lenses with Canon’s Defocus Smoothing technology deliver smoother out-of-focus background blur.
SA Control – Featured in the RF 100mm macro lens, Spherical Aberration Control allows you to control the shape and characteristics of foreground and background bokeh.
CN-R – Lenses with the CN-R designation are manual focus lenses with manual aperture rings. These RF mount lenses are designed for filmmakers.
Z – Lenses with the Z designation have optional Power Zoom adapters for video use.

Canon RF Lens Annual Release Rate

How many new RF lenses does Canon launch every year? The number is variable, but the chart below will give historical context and show the split between full-frame RF stills lenses APS-C RF-S stills lenses and RF Cinema lenses designed for cameras like the EOS R5c.

Thanks Dan – great start! However, the column sorts don’t work well. Click focal length and it sorts 100mm before 24mm. Ditto with weight (the weights are a mix of pounds and ounces that become a mishmash – best to sort by grams and show all in lbs?)

  Thanks for the feedback Chris. I think the zoom focal lengths are really throwing the sorting off something crazy. I’ll have to try and find some time to figure this out.

RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM has IS – you have ‘No’ in the IS column.
Very useful list – thanks!
Terry Conboy

May 30, 2021 at 4:40 pm

Dan, this is a great resource! Just one blip I noticed: the length and diameter of the RF 600mm f/4 L IS are shift a column to the right (so the weight is covered by the diameter.)

Sadly, this lens is far out of my hobby budget. Oh, well.

Thanks!
