## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are there any reasons why this does not have image stabilization?**
A: Because it’s a $299 lens. Besides, you hardly need IS with a 16mm lens, plus you have in body stabilization.

**Q: Thinking this might be a nice replacement for my ef mount rokinon 14mm for milky way shots. can i request early buyers post some shots here?**
A: Totally agree! I purchased it for that very reason.
My Rokinon 10mm doesn’t even work on my Canon r5. Even with the ef to r5 adapter. Hoping this will be a good replacement.

**Q: Will this work on a Cannon 60D?**
A: No. RF series lenses are only compatible with EOS R Series mirrorless camera bodies.

**Q: The is fit for 50d**
A: RF lenses are for Canon mirrorless cameras only. The 50D is a DSLR camera. RF lenses will not fit.
