Exceptional Wide Angle to Telephoto Performance
The Canon 24-105 mm f/4L IS II USM lens delivers the exceptional performance you can depend on in any setting. Its versatile zoom range covers wide-angle to telephoto subjects, from sweeping scenery to intimate portraits, giving you great flexibility for travel, professional work, or everyday use. The constant f/4 maximum aperture ensures your exposure won’t change when you’re zooming in and out, and—combined with the lens’ rounded 10-blade aperture—also enables soft bokeh creation for beautiful creative expression.
Clear, Sharp, Vibrant Images
Capture shots with ultimate sharpness and perfect colour balance. The Canon 24-105 mm f/4L IS II USM lens has a new optical design with four glass-molded aspherical elements. This offers even higher image quality than the previous Canon 24-105mm f/4 lens, with reduced distortion and enhanced brightness.
Air Sphere Coating for Reduced Flare
The Canon 24-105mm lens features an air sphere coating that reduces unwanted flaring and ghosting in bright daylight and high-contrast situations. This means you’ll be able to achieve rich, vibrant shots, even if the lighting conditions aren’t ideal.
Quick, Accurate, Near-Silent Autofocus
Even in fleeting moments like a sudden movement or candid laugh, the Canon 24-105 mm lens can lock focus quickly and accurately. With a ring-type ultrasonic motor and internal focus system, this Canon 24-105 mm lens delivers quick, accurate, and near-silent autofocus. Giving you complete control to make focal adjustments, manual focus override lets you switch seamlessly over to manual focus.
Keep it Steady
The Canon EF 24-105mm lens’ built-in optical image stabiliser effectively reduces camera shake and blur, allowing you to use shutter speeds up to four stops slower than usual. This helps to deliver sharper, cleaner shots, even when you’re shooting handheld, in low light or zoomed in from a distance.
Dust and Water Resistant
Enjoy professional reliability time after time, whatever the shooting conditions. Like all L-series lenses, the Canon 24-105mm lens is exceptionally built with a dust- and water-resistant construction that prevents dirt from getting in. The fluorine coating on the exposed elements is anti-smudge, making the lens easier to clean, and a handy zoom lock switch prevents lens creep when the lens is not in use.
