RF lenses

Canon RF mirrorless lenses cover a full-frame image circle on EOS R bodies. This page groups common zooms and primes with notes and rough street prices in CZK. For APS-C–native kit and compact zooms, see RF-S lenses.

  • Same mount everywhere: every EOS R camera uses the RF bayonet, so full-frame RF lenses from this list also mount on APS-C bodies (R7, R10, R50, …).
  • What changes on APS-C: the sensor is smaller, so you use only the middle of the lens image — the picture looks more telephoto than on full frame. Rule of thumb: multiply focal length by about 1.6 when comparing framing to full frame (in 35 mm equivalent terms, 50 mm on APS-C ≈ ~80 mm on full frame).
  • RF-S is different: Canon also sells RF-S lenses for the same mount — built for APS-C (smaller image circle, often smaller zooms), not for full-frame sensors edge to edge; see the link in the intro and the RF vs RF-S table below.
