RF 20-50mm F4L IS USM PZ overview
The Canon RF 20-50mm F4L IS USM PZ is a 20–50mm f/4 zoom for full-frame cameras on Canon RF, announced by Canon in May 2026. 23 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits landscapes and interiors. It is a weaker pick for low light without a tripod.
New, it sells for £1,313 in the United Kingdom (eBay.co.uk); used and refurbished copies start at £1,199. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost £1,313 to £1,362 new.
Worth comparing it with the Canon RF 15-35mm F2.8L IS USM.
