The RF20-50mm F4 L IS USM PZ lens is the first full-frame, switchable power zoom/manual zoom lens from Canon. It combines excellent optics and high performance, providing a wide-angle of view in a powerfully versatile lens. The L-series optical performance is highlighted by two Aspheric elements and three Ultra-low Dispersion glass elements. The RF20-50mm F4 L IS USM PZ delivers incredible hybrid flexibility, high-speed, quiet focusing, and wide-angle performance in a compact, lightweight design, making it an ideal lens for video and still creators.
Wide-Angle Zoom
The RF20-50mm F4 L IS USM PZ lens's wide-to-standard-angle coverage is ideal for capturing everything you want in your scene, while still allowing you to zoom in for details and close-ups. This zoom range is also convenient for shooting on the go and in tight spaces.The Power to Zoom
The RF20-50mm F4 L IS USM PZ lens features internal Power Zoom, eliminating the need for additional accessories. This feature allows you to rotate the lens zoom ring left or right to initiate a variable-speed (user-customizable) powered zoom for smooth, professional-looking results. This lens can be used with the built-in camera zoom lever on certain EOS camera models, such as the video-centric EOS R6 V. New to the RF20-50mm lens is the ability to switch it to manual operation across the 20-50mm zoom range, like a traditional lens. Power Zoom capability also offers flexibility, allowing you to control zoom operation remotely when you're away from the camera via the Canon Camera Connect app or the Canon Bluetooth Remotes BR-E1 and BR-E2.Outstanding Image Quality
The RF20-50mm F4 L IS USM PZ features 3 UD elements and 2 aspherical elements, which achieve high image quality throughout the image from center to edges while maintaining compactness. The f/4 aperture remains constant throughout the zoom range, enabling beautiful imagery at any focal length. It also includes Air Sphere Coating (ASC) to help reduce ghosting and flare in your imagery.Get Up Close
Capture subjects in detail with a maximum magnification of 0.33x (at 50mm) and a focusing distance of 9.4 inches. This enables rich, expressive close-up imagery all from a hybrid lens.Optical Image Stabilization — Up to 6.0 Stops of Shake Correction
To shoot with less blur even without a tripod handy, the RF20-50mm F4 L IS USM PZ features built-in Optical Image Stabilization, providing up to 6.0 stops of shake reduction - ideal for indoor or low light shooting. When paired with an EOS R-mount camera equipped with In-Body Image Stabilizer (IBIS), the Coordinated IS provides a shake correction of 8 stops at the center and 8 stops in the corners.High-Speed, Smooth, and Quiet Autofocus and Zooming
The lens features three Canon-developed USM motors for quiet, fast, and smooth operation. Two USMs are dedicated to moving the lens groups for zooming, and one is dedicated entirely to focusing. These motors are incredibly small but produce powerful torque while remaining virtually silent.Compact and Lightweight
Coming in under a pound (0.9 lbs / 420 grams), the RF20-50mm F4 L IS USM PZ is powerfully lightweight and compact, especially for a lens with a built-in power zoom!Technical Specifications
