Canon

Lens mount

  • RF: for mirrorless
  • EF: dates back to 1987; compatible with every EOS camera ever produced (with adapters). When mounting an EF lens to an APS-C-size sensor, you need to multiply the focal length by 1.6x to work out the equivalent in 35mm terms.
  • EF-S: for APS-C.
  • EF-M: exclusively for EOS M. Even more compact compared to the EF and EF-S.

How to decode Canon lenses

  • Prime: describing a fixed focal length lens, i.e., a lens that doesn’t zoom.
  • USM: Ultra Sonic Motor, quieter and faster than standard motors used in cheaper lenses.
  • STM: stepper motor, a much quieter AF performance, uses fly-by-wire focusing, which means turning the focus ring doesn’t physically move the elements, but tells the AF motor to do so.
  • IS: Image Stabilisation.
  • L-series: top-end, professional-grade lenses.
  • I, II, III: lens’ generation.
