Canon RF 15-30mm f4,5-6,3 IS STM

Finally pulled the trigger for architectural interiors, and the image stabilization is a lifesaver for handheld low-light shots. The wide end is impressively distortion-free compared to my old kit lens, and the compact size means it stays in my bag without complaint.

I was skeptical about the f4.5-6.3 variable aperture in low light, but paired with the IBIS on my R5 II the stabilization more than makes up for it. That 15-30mm range is perfect for tight interior shots and I'm honestly impressed with the edge sharpness for a lens at this price.

For the price, this zoom range is hard to beat—15mm makes tight indoor spaces feel enormous, and the stabilizer saves so many handheld shots in low light. The autofocus is quiet and snappy too.
