1. The most affordable zoom lens 18-45mm IS STM

The body of the Canon R10 cost $1099 with the 18-45mm kit lens and without the lens, the cost of the camera body is $979. The actual cost of the lens $269 when purchased separately from B&H. You are actually saving more than $149 on the kit lens which is a super deal at the beginning.

I know the kit lens quality is bad, but the 18-45mm IS STM Lens from Canon is really versatile. The focal length you are getting is perfect for landscape, nature, and family-friends photography.

You can also click some portraits when used at 50mm. The actual advantage is the price factor and the compactness. And at this price ur also get the Image stabilization (OIS) and STM motors which is useful for both photography and videography.

Image stabilization in the 18-45mm Lens works very effectively. As we know the Canon R10 camera doesn’t have a built-in sensor-shift image stabilization system, so this lens will help you with its Optical Image stabilization feature. up to 4 stops of shake correction or up to 6 stops of Coordinated IS with a compatible camera body

The RF-S18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM has a Center Focus Macro function that captures close-up images with up to 0.26x magnification at 45mm (MF) Achieve up to 0.16x magnification at 45mm focal length with autofocus. When you are using the lens at Manual Focus mode  At 35mm focal length it gives a maximum magnification of 0.59x.

.The Lens also features Canon STM Motor,  which is extremely helpful while shooting videos, the STM motors generate minimal noise.

2. Canon RF 18-150mm Lens 

The Canon has recently announced the 8.3x APS-C zoom Lens for Canon R10 that packs in a useful 29-240mm (35mm equiv.) focal length range. It’s ideal for travel, wedding photography,  landscapes, garden wildlife, and sports.

The OIS in this lens is highly effective and works up to 4.5 Stops, or up to 6.5 stops with Coordinated IS when paired with a compatible camera. Making it a perfect choice for shooting sharp images in low light.

The price of this lens is $499 (B&H Store and Amazon.com) You can use this lens as a default lens for your Canon R10 camera.

3. Canon RF 24mm F1.8 Macro IS STM Lens

I would say the 24mm F1.8 Macro STM lens is the most usable prime lens for a photographer with an APS-C Sensor based body like Canon R10. The eqv focal length of this lens is 38mm which is near the standard focal length of 35mm. The wide angle is ideal for landscape and street photography. This 24mm lens can be used for shooting family and friends’ portraits in a home in a low-light environment. Also perfect for capturing macro images due to its 1:2 magnification ratio and close-up shooting distance of 5.5 inches.

Perfect lens for YouTubers: You can also use this lens for your office and room vlogs, also perfect for food photography or vlogs with this lens. You have to just maintain 3 to 5 feet distance from your camera/rest your camera on a tripod,  make a 3 to 5 feet distance from the camera and start making your online content with excellent sharpness and creamy bokeh in the background.

The 24mm Lens also features OIS (Optical image stabilization), for the first time I have seen Canon giving us OIS features in Prime lenses like 24mm. The OIS is effective up to 5 stops, or 6.5 stops with coordinated IS, to better enable working handheld in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds. Whether you are creating videos with the lens or shooting still images the OIS help all the time.

The lens is available at $499 (B&H Store and Amazon.com) You will feel the price is high. But also think twice that it’s a Fullframe lens and will remain compatible with your camera even if you upgrade your camera to full frame. And despite being a 24mm Prime lens, the lens also features OIS and macro Capability, none of such features are available even in competitors’ lenses.

4. Canon RF 35mm F1.8 Macro IS STM

Perfect for professional-quality portraits with a Canon R10 camera. The Canon RF 35mm F1.8 when paired with Canon R10 gives you an equivalent focal length of 50mm Lens in full-frame format. So it actually will act as a 50mm F1.8 with optical image stabilization and macro capability.

The size of this lens is slightly larger than the 24mm F1.8, It measures  74.4 x 62.8 mm and weighs 305g. However, this is still relatively light and compact. The lens pairs very comfortably with the canon R10 camera and has a sleek look and feel. There is a focus switch on the side of the lens,  the lens does support full-time manual focus. That is, you can manually focus the lens by adjusting the focus ring even when the camera is set to autofocus.

The 35mm Lens allows you to set the MAX aperture to F1.8, which enables the lens to capture amazing low-light images in any conditions and generate pleasant, creamy bokeh-filled backgrounds. The lens features Super Spectra coating that has been applied to individual elements to reduce the ghosting and flare for greater contrast and color neutrality when working in strong lighting conditions.

$499 (Amazon.com | B&H Store) is the price of a 35mm F1.8 IS STM Macro lens, this is a very reasonable price lens if you look at its features. The lens is a Fullframe lens and features Macro capability as well as optical image stabilization. We highly recommend this lens for the Canon R10 camera.

5. Canon RF 50mm F1.8 STM Lens

If you are into portrait photography and looking for an affordable option the Canon RF50mm F1.8 Lens is best for you. The RF 50mm lens is equivalent to 85mm when paired with a Crop sensor camera like Canon R10.

The telephoto prime lens measures 69 x 40 mm and weighs 160 g. This makes it the lightest lens on our list, , balancing well with the weight of the camera. To suppresses spherical aberrations Canon has introduced   One precision-molded (PMo) aspherical element inside this lens, it also upscaled the sharpness and accurate subject rendering.

The overall image quality is fantastic. You’ll love how easy it is to snap incredibly sharp, beautiful photos using this lens, and your subjects will love it even more. Although the lens has a limited Macro capability of 50cm, so if you want a better macro performing lens you have to buy the other two primes (24mm and 35mm) mentioned above in the list.

With a price tag of $199 (B&H Store | amazon.com) Canon RF 50mm, F1.8 STM Lens is the most affordable prime lens in RF lineup. The reason behind that is the lens doesn’t have the OIS like the other prime lenses as well as macro capability.

6. Canon 85mm F2 IS STM Macro

Canon 85mm F2 Macro  Lens features optical image stabilization as well as a stepping drive motor. The equivalent focal length of 85mm lens on the Canon R10 body will be 136mm. It reminds me of Canon’s popular 100mm F2.8 Macro Lens. The lens can be used effectively when you want to capture wildlife beauty without disturbing them. 85mm (136mm on R10) will allow you to work from a distance and also Optical Image stabilization within. So, you can also take some amazing macro shots or portraits of models handheld.

The telephoto prime lens measures 78 x 90.5 mm and weighs 500 g. This makes it the largest and the heaviest lens on our list, Configurable Control Ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation. The rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.

The lens creates creamy bokeh at F2 and is perfect for portraits, I have used this lens with a Canon R5 camera and at F3.5 to 5.6 the lens produces razor-sharp images with an exceptional amount of details resolved through the sensor. With its macro capability, the lens is able to do 1:2 maximum magnification along with a minimum focusing distance of 1.15. And the Configurable Control Ring on this lens can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.

The price tag $549 (B&H Store | amazon.com) price makes this lens one of the most costly prime lenses on our list. although with Optical image stabilization, Macro capability, Steeping drive motor, and rounded nine-blade diaphragm make this lens the perfect choice for professional photographers.

7. Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 USM

Prime lenses do give the best quality possible since they have minimal moving lens elements inside them optimized for best performance. However, zoom lenses like the 100-400 are also a worthwhile investment.

With prime lenses, if you want to have an optical crop you have to physically move toward your subject. This isn’t always possible depending on what or where you’re shooting. So, we have lenses like the 100-400mm (equivalent focal length  160mm – 640mm).

The resolving power of this lens is just amazing even when paired with the Canon R5 camera, lens features Max magnification up to .41X @ 400mm. So, it’s worthwhile to say the lens also has macro capability. To reduce the chromatic aberrations and color fringing throughout the zoom range the lens has One Ultra-Low Dispersion element. The lens features a built-in optical image stabilization system effective up to 4 stops when used with R10, and up to 6 stops of camera shake and Nano USM AF to promote faster focusing performance.

You have to pay $599 (B&H Store | Amazon.com) to get this lens, It may look pricy to you. But the sharpness, OIS, Bokeh, and AF performance are highly impressive. Equivalent to equivalent focal length  160mm – 640mm when used with APS-C body and 100-400 when used with Fullframe.
