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.
