The Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM is a sleek and versatile all-around zoom lens designed for the EOS R mirrorless system. It offers photographers and videographers a perfect balance between performance and portability. By utilizing a variable maximum aperture, Canon has created a lens that covers the essential standard focal lengths without the bulk associated with constant-aperture zooms. This makes it an exceptional choice for travel, landscapes, and daily walk-around photography where weight savings are paramount.
One of the standout features of this lens is the “Center Focus Macro” mode, which enables high-magnification close-up shooting at 24mm with a minimum focusing distance of just 13cm (manual focus only). For general shooting, the optical Image Stabilizer provides up to five stops of shake correction, significantly aiding handheld capture in low light. The STM (Stepping Motor) drive ensures that autofocus is quick for candid moments yet smooth and silent for video work, taking full advantage of the EOS R system’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology.
