Canon RF-S 18-150mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM
The one-lens travel solution for the R7 and R50: an 18-150mm stabilized superzoom covering wide to short telephoto in a 310g package. Its beginner tier reflects the convenience-over-optics tradeoff inherent to a wide-range zoom with an f/3.5-6.3 aperture. Great for travelers who want to leave spare lenses at home; not the pick for low-light work.
