Canon RF 20-50mm f/4 L IS USM PZ Lens
Behind every great camera is a great lens. Or, at least, with new camera announcements these days, that is certainly the case.
While Canon is going to get most of the focus today on its new EOS R6 V, a video-centric mirrorless camera capable of 7K30 Open Gate RAW video recording, not to be lost in the shuffle is the introduction of a new power zoom lens that’s quite capable either on its own or as a perfect pairing with the new R6 V.
Let’s check it out.
Canon RF 20-50mm f/4 L IS USM PZ Lens
Designed to be as powerful as it is lightweight, this compact power zoom packs a punch into its easy-to-use size. The Canon RF 20-50mm f/4 L IS USM PZ Lens is similarly tailored for video work and is designed to be the ideal kit lens for the aforementioned EOS R6 V, which is available to purchase as a combo at a discount.
The Canon RF 20-50mm f/4 L IS USM PZ Lens delivers high-quality video performance and lets shooters choose between power zoom and manual zoom modes. It is also fully compatible with any RF-mount body, meaning you don’t have to pair it with the R6 V if you already have a Canon RF camera of your liking.
The lens also features a fast f/4 maximum aperture, six stops of optical image stabilization, and a nano USM focusing motor to deliver optimal results no matter the subject. It offers controlled focus breathing for top video performance and numerous optimizations for both photo and video.
