While designed for full-frame RF-mount cameras, the RF 28mm f/2.8 STM works on APS-C RF-mount bodies as well, where the crop factor gives it an effective focal length of approximately 45mm — a classic normal-view perspective ideal for everyday shooting. **How close can the Canon RF 28mm f/2.8 STM focus, and is it good for close-up photography?** The lens has a minimum focusing distance of 9.1 inches (approx. 23 cm) and achieves a maximum magnification of 0.17x. While not a true macro lens, this close-focus capability makes it a versatile option for detailed close-up shots while still maintaining attractive depth of field. **Is the STM autofocus motor in this lens suitable for video recording?** Absolutely. The gear-type STM (Stepping Motor) delivers fast, quiet, and smooth autofocus transitions that are specifically well-suited to video recording. The near-silent operation ensures AF changes are not picked up by on-camera microphones, and Full-Time Manual Focus allows seamless override at any point.
