In May 2022, Canon introduced the Canon EOS R7 and Canon EOS R10 as its first mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras with an RF-mount and a smaller APS-C sensor. The current lineup also includes the entry-level Canon EOS R100 and the somewhat better equipped Canon EOS R50.
This page provides an overview of the so far very limited catalog of RF-mount lenses for APS-C cameras. These are mostly autofocus lenses, but selected manual focus lenses may also be included. Note that RF-mount lenses for full-frame can also be used on these cameras.
For every lens, the following major characteristics are given:
- Focal length.
- Maximum aperture. It has a strong influence on the lighting conditions under which the lens can be used, and how shallow the depth of field can be. Fast lenses also tend to be much bigger, heavier, and more expensive. Green labels indicate fast lenses (> f/2), red labels indicate slow lenses (< f/4).
- Filter size. It serves as a representative of the length, diameter and weight of the lens, which are important features for a system which was designed to be compact and portable. Green labels indicate compact lenses (filter size < 60 mm), red labels indicate big lenses (> 70 mm).
- Minimum focus distance (MFD). It has a major influence on the magnification that can be achieved, as well as the depth of field.
- Another important point is of course the price, but it is different in every market and currency. Instead, links to independent reviews are given which will help you to find the best lens for your needs.
Note that additional designations such as IS, STM and USM that are not necessary to identify a lens are omitted. Manual focus lenses are marked by an asterisk (*), purely mechanical lenses with no digital coupling to the camera are marked by a double asterisk (**).
1 Prime lenses
Lenses with a fixed focal length.
1.1 Fisheye lenses
Ultra wide angle lenses with purposeful strong distortions.

1.3 Standard lenses
Lenses with a focal length similar to the image sensor diagonal of 27 mm. Images created with these lenses are generally perceived as looking natural.

3 Teleconverters
Teleconverters extend the focal length of matching telephoto lenses by a certain factor.
