Canon published the full specification sheet for its RF 20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ, confirming a constant f/4 aperture, 20-50mm range and 0.33x maximum magnification at 50mm.
8-stop coordinated stabilization is the headline performance figure, while the lens also delivers 6 stops on its own and uses two Nano USM motors for power zoom plus a separate Nano USM focus drive.
420g weight, internal zooming, weather sealing and a 67mm filter thread position the full-frame lens as a compact video-oriented L-series option for EOS R and RF-compatible Cinema EOS bodies.
Canon had already introduced the lens as its first RF-mount and first L-series power zoom model, with late-June availability and a $1,399 price.
