Cameras on Canon RF
Every body in the catalogue that takes Canon RF lenses, newest first. Prices are the best new price from a UK retailer we track.
Lens range
116 Canon RF lenses in the catalogue. Native means made by a company that also makes Canon RF bodies; third-party is everyone else.
Best Canon RF lenses by genre
Top three per genre from the lens engine, scored on this lens's own format. The same scores you see on each lens page; Gear Builder re-scores them for the exact body you pick.
Flange distance & adapting
A plain adapter is a spacer: it can only add distance between lens and sensor. Glass from a mount with a longer flange distance adapts cleanly onto Canon RF; glass from a shorter one needs corrective optics.
