A Review of the Versatile Canon RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM Lens

With the release of cameras like the EOS R7 and EOS R10, Canon has shown they are interested in developing APS-C mirrorless cameras alongside their full frame mirrorless line. In tandem with that, we have seen the introduction of RF-S lenses specifically designed for the APS-C format. This excellent video review takes a look at one such lens, the Canon RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM, and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice. 

Coming to you from Dustin Abbott, this great video review takes a look at the Canon RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens. With an equivalent focal length range of 29-240mm, the RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS ISM offers a tremendously versatile package at a very reasonable price ($499), meant to be an all-in-one device for many needs. Furthermore, it comes with UD and two aspherical elements to reduce aberrations and increase image quality and Super Spectra Coating for reduced flares and ghosting and deeper contrast. In addition, users will enjoy a customizable Control Ring and a lead screw-type STM stepping AF motor for quiet autofocus suitable for both photos and video. Lastly, the lens' Optical Image Stabilizer offers up to 4.5 stops of compensation or up to 6.5 stops when used in tandem with in-body image stabilization. Check out the video above for Abbott's full thoughts on the lens.
