Not long ago, Canon released a fixed focus lens, RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM。 The lens itself has many features, such as ultra lightweight design, large aperture and high image quality, anti shake ability, support for macro shooting, and take all photos and videos. The official price of the lens is RMB 4399, which can be matched with RF bayonet cameras such as Canon EOS R3/R5/R6 or Youth EOS R7/R10 for better experience. Today, we will introduce the evaluation and introduction of RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM.
Let's first understand the core parameters of the lens:
Lens focal length: 24mm
Lens structure: 9 groups and 11 pieces
Aperture blade: 9 pieces (circular aperture)
Maximum aperture: F1.8
Minimum aperture: F22
Nearest focusing distance: about 0.14m
Maximum magnification: about 0.5 times
Drive system: STM stepping motor
Hand shake compensation effect: about 5 levels
Filter diameter: 52mm
Maximum diameter and length: about Φ 74.4 × 63.1mm
Weight: about 270g
Canon RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM takes a people-oriented approach. The lens has a high cost performance ratio, and can be adapted to both photography and video, so it is suitable for a wide range of people. The focal section of the lens itself conforms to the scope of humanistic photography. The aperture is large enough, the optical quality is excellent, and the image quality is good. It is suitable for travel photography, street sweeping photography, or daily photography of landscapes, portraits, buildings, etc., and can meet the needs of users. For video users, the lens can meet the recording requirements of selfie, Vlog video, etc., and the lightweight design is more suitable for users to fight alone.
Lightweight design meets the user's carrying and use needs
The weight of Canon RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM lens itself is about 270g, the total weight of Canon EOS R6 body is about 950g, and the total weight of Canon EOS R10 body is about 699g, which meets the current user's demand for lightweight design. In addition, the lens is very compact, with a length of about 63.1mm, which is convenient to use or carry.
Canon RF24mm F1.8MACRO IS STM lens has ultra lightweight design
For travel photography, the reduction of volume and weight can save a lot of physical strength. Users can carry Canon RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM to create better in high-intensity activities such as hiking, mountaineering, or traveling through cities for a long time. For video creation, due to the lightweight design, the lens can be better used with Canon EOS R system camera installed on the stabilizer, which also makes handheld shooting easier and more labor-saving.

On the side of the lens are IS anti shake switch paddles and auto/manual focus selection paddles, which are convenient for users to adjust quickly. When experiencing macro photography or video shooting, users can choose to focus manually. The manual focusing ring of the lens has moderate damping and good experience, and the transition of focusing is also very smooth. Above the focusing ring is the lens control ring. Users can customize the parameter functions to be controlled by this control ring, which is very convenient to use.
RF bayonet of Canon RF24mm F1.8MACRO IS STM
Because it is the lens of RF bayonet system, Canon RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM has very strong communication ability, and has outstanding effects in focusing and anti shake. At the same time, the design of 54mm inner diameter and short flange distance is very helpful for photography and video shooting.
High quality and excellent macro shooting experience
The lightweight design alone is certainly not enough. Users are also very concerned about the image quality performance of Canon RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM. Then we will introduce it to you through testing.
Through our test, we can see that Canon RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM lens has excellent comprehensive image quality performance. The lightweight design does not affect the high image quality characteristics of the lens itself. In the test, the lens has a very excellent image quality level when the F1.8 aperture is fully open. From F2 to F11 aperture, the lens always maintains a high sharpness level. Only at F16 and F22 aperture, the picture quality slightly decreases, but it does not affect our viewing experience. That is to say, everyone can use the full aperture lens to shoot safely. For users, whether they are photographing or video, they can use this lens to record with more ease.

Canon EOS R5/RF24mm F1.8MACRO IS STM/ISO Sensitivity: 100/Exposure time: 1/320s/Aperture: f/1.8
Canon EOS R5/RF24mm F1.8MACRO IS STM/ISO Sensitivity: 1600/Exposure time: 1/80s/Aperture: f/1.8
Because the lens itself has the feature of F1.8 large aperture, even in the 24mm wide-angle focal section, you can still see a very beautiful virtual effect, especially the effect of creating romantic light spots. For photography players, many people are obsessed with the virtual ability of the lens when shooting still lives, sweeping streets and portraits. Canon RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM can just meet the needs of these users for large aperture.
In addition to the advantages in picture quality, the nearest focusing distance of Canon RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM is about 0.14 meters, so that when we shoot objects or take self portraits, record and broadcast live, the camera and lens can be close to our fingertips, which is convenient for us to take self portraits and adjust at the same time. In addition, the lens also has a macro function. Its maximum magnification is about 0.5 times. Therefore, if you see beautiful plants and still life on the roadside during shooting, you can use macro to record.

Canon EOS R5/RF24mm F1.8MACRO IS STM/ISO Sensitivity: 200/Exposure time: 1/60s/Aperture: f/1.8
It can be seen that the focusing distance is close enough, so even under the 24mm wide-angle angle, excellent macro images can still be taken. And after zooming in, we can see clear and complete details, which shows that Canon RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM lens itself has excellent picture quality. With the macro function, we can record many photographic works from macro perspective, or add macro images to Vlog video. In the process of macro shooting, the focusing speed of the lens is still very fast and accurate, which brings users an excellent shooting experience.
Excellent structural design and optical quality performance
Canon RF24mm F1.8MACRO IS STM lens structure
Canon RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM lens adopts the optical structure design of 9 groups of 11 pieces, with 1 aspheric lens and 1 UD (ultra-low dispersion) lens, which can effectively compensate for the distortion and color aberration easily occurring in wide-angle lenses. When the lens is used together with the EOS R system camera, it can automatically further compensate a variety of aberrations through the digital processing in the camera, and the astigmatism easy to appear around the wide-angle lens can also be effectively compensated, so that the imaging from the center to the edge will be clearer and sharper.
Because of these designs, the optical quality of the lens itself is also commendable. Next, let's see how the optical quality of the lens performs.
F1.8 Glare performance at aperture
Glare performance at F16 aperture
The overall glare performance of Canon RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM lens is excellent. It can be seen that when the F1.8 aperture is fully open, the glare and ghost suppression in the picture is excellent. In this way, users can obtain more prominent picture performance whether shooting backlit scenery, portraits, buildings or backlit videos.
Dispersion test of Canon RF24mm F1.8MACRO IS STM
When we shoot against the light, not only glare and ghost will affect the sense of picture, but also dispersion will affect our viewing experience. However, the dispersion control of Canon RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM lens is excellent. In our extreme test environment, when F1.8 aperture is fully open, there is still no purple edge, green edge and other phenomena. Therefore, users can be more confident and bold to shoot backlight photography works or backlight video creation.
Dark angle test of Canon RF24mm F1.8MACRO IS STM
In terms of dark angle, Canon RF24mm F1.8 MACRO IS STM lens will have a slight dark angle at F1.8 and F2.0 aperture, and the dark angle has been almost ignored at F2.8 aperture. In our actual experience, even when shooting with the F1.8 aperture fully open, the slight dark angle will not affect our viewing experience.
