The Canon RF 28-70mm f/2.8 IS STM is a hugely welcome addition to the RF lineup. Full-frame R system users have been treated to some fantastic kit lenses in recent years, such as the highly compact and portable RF 24-50mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM and the RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM.
While these are relatively cheap and cheerful (all things considered), costing around $500 in the US, up until now if you wanted an upgrade to your kit lens the best option might have been the RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM that costs considerably more at $1,299. Or, if you have the money for it, you could splash out on the Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 IS USM trinity lens at $2,399.
