Canon EOS R + RF 35mm f/1.8 IS Macro STM If you’re looking to invest in Canon’s full-frame mirrorless system – and there’s plenty of reason to do just that – this is a great combination to get you started. You can pick it up with a significant saving by buying second-hand from MPB. The full- frame EOS R has 30.3-megapixel and uses Canon’s excellent on-
chip dual pixel phase detection AF for speed and accuracy. Its 14-bit Raw files are brimming with quality and it also shoots 4K video at 30p or Full HD movies at up to 120fps. Twinned with the RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro STM, you get a prime lens that’s great for all sorts of subjects, giving a natural
view for portraits, landscapes and street photography. *Prices are correct at mpb.com at the time of going to print and are subject to change.
