Buying as a gift? This page is for the Canon EOS RP and its Canon RF mount: lenses from other mounts will not fit it. Lenses were picked by their manufacturer specs, not tested by us.

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links never affect our specs or which lenses we compare.

Wildlife is a reach problem. On the Canon EOS RP's full-frame sensor a lens frames 1× as tight as marked, so the reach column shows what you actually get.

The Canon EOS RP has no in-body stabilisation, so stabilisation inside the lens matters: 2 of these 3 have it (OIS, VR, IS or similar in the name).
