Canon RF Lenses for Your Holiday

Which Canon RF lens is best to take on holiday?

Are you going on holiday soon and wondering which lens to bring? We understand that the choice is huge these days and are happy to help you out! In this article we give you advice on which Canon RF lens is most suitable for a city trip, a wildlife safari or a family holiday. This way you can capture the most beautiful moments on photo and video during your holiday.

City trip

If you have a city trip planned, the best choice is a Canon RF wide-angle lens. The wide field of view lets you capture an expansive shot in one go — buildings, cityscapes and parks, for example. Think of lenses with a focal length between 14 and 50 mm. You can choose a zoom lens or a prime lens, depending on whether you want to take multiple lenses. Another advantage is weight: most wide-angle lenses are not too heavy, which is handy when you carry them all day.

Wildlife safari

If you are going on a wildlife safari, a Canon RF telephoto lens is an ideal option. The animals you encounter on safari are often at a great distance, and a telephoto lens with an enormous zoom range is very useful. You can bring the wild animals closer while staying at a safe distance. A focal length of at least 300 mm is recommended — the greater the focal length, the greater your chance of creating the image you have in mind.

Landscapes

Are you travelling through an area with breathtaking views? Then a Canon RF zoom lens with a wide-angle range is ideal — for example a focal length of 24-70 or 24-105 mm. This lets you take a wide shot of the entire landscape, a portrait with the landscape in the background, and zoom in on details. With one lens you are ready for your entire trip without switching.

Family holiday

When on holiday with the whole family, a fast lens with a variable range is a great option. With an aperture of f/2.8 or f/4.0, you can take sharp, clear photos in most lighting conditions. The zoom range is handy to capture the whole family in wide-angle and also take portrait shots when zoomed in. Opening the aperture fully creates beautiful background blur that makes the subject stand out even more.

Allround lens for the holiday

Today there are also allround lenses with a focal length ranging from wide-angle to telephoto — and they can be found within Canon's RF series too. The big advantage is that you can photograph almost everything with just one lens! Whether you are on a road trip through nature or visiting the zoo during a city trip, an allround lens covers every situation beautifully.
