A Review of the Do-it-All Canon RF-S 18-150mm F/3.5-6.3 IS STM Lens

Cameras like the EOS R7 and EOS R10 have shown that Canon is serious about APS-C mirrorless cameras in addition to their quickly growing full frame line. As such, the company has begun to create RF-S lenses specifically made for those smaller sensors, with one such lens being the RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM, which covers a huge range of focal lengths for a wide variety of needs. This excellent video review takes a look at the new lens and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice. 

Coming to you from Christopher Frost, this great video review takes a look at the Canon RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens. Offering a full frame-equivalent focal length range of 29-240mm at an affordable price ($499), the RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS ISM is the kind of lens you can leave on your camera for an all-day hike or the like. Canon has included a UD and two aspherical elements for reduced aberrations, as well as Super Spectra Coating for less flares and ghosting and deeper contrast. It also features a customizable Control Ring and lead screw-type stepping AF motor for quiet autofocus that is suited for both photo and video work, while its image stabilization offers up to 4.5 stops of compensation or 6.5 stops when paired with a camera with in-body image stabilization. Check out the video above for Frost's full thoughts on the lens.
