Ultra-wide field of view mixed with a compact and portable design, the Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM is a sleek everyday wide-angle prime. Blending a compact, lightweight design with a bright maximum aperture, this rectilinear ultra-wide comes in handy when photographing interiors and architectural subjects, as well as broad landscape views and astrophotography scenes.
One aspherical element is featured in the optical design, which limits distortion and contributes to a high degree of sharpness for accurate rendering. This unique lens also sports a close 5.1" minimum focusing distance for close-up shooting and the STM AF motor enables smooth and quiet focusing performance to suit both photo and video applications. The lightweight design and broad field of view also make this lens an enticing option for vlogging and content creation.

I have these.... It is not the fastest but with the light weight lens, it is fast enough for 20, 30, 40 fps with AF. They are good for most situations they were designed for.
Once you add the item to cart, go to the cart page (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/a/cart) and there will be a box that says "promo code" on the right side, directly above the estimate shipping & tax box.
I cannot for the life of me work out where you enter the coupon code.... probably being dumb, but any help appreciated.

Thank you. Seems to be a browser compatability problem. Clearly shows in Edge, but not Chrome.
If you have an RF camera and don't have the 50mm, buy it. Great rendering, tack sharp, and the AF is fast enough for a toddler in motion.
Yes, 50mm f1.8 lenses are easy to design. And this one lacks IS and weather sealing. But it's 100$ and takes fantastic pictures, what more do you want???
Side note, I wish the 24mm f1.8 was better in the corners. Annoying to haul around the glass for a faster lens, and have it soft in the corners until you hit f4.

I have the 24mm. The lens correction profile do a pretty good job and clean the vignetting too. Not going to see well with Facebook compression.
I own the RF 50mm f1.8. Bought mine "refurbished" over Black Friday for $79. $99 is certainly a fantastic price for a 50mm f.18 new. It's about as sharp as the EF 50mm f1.8. Which is to say it' good for the price, not super sharp at f1.8. It has one more aperture blade vs. the EF version.
It's a fantastic deal for $99!
The Canon EOS R6 is also a great deal for $1,599 in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised to see it for / below $1,400 "refurbished" over Black Friday with a free battery grip. I wouldn't buy is because of the 20Mpxl sensor. But if you are OK with that (very few people are "happy" about it in 2023), certainly a great buy at $1,599.

In the end I get the 24mm, not much of fisheye and its F1.8, good for night shots.
