Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Lens

A new standard of standard zoom lens

Created specifically for the revolutionary Canon EOS R system, the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM is a standard zoom lens that’s anything but standard. It incorporates the latest optical advancements, taking Canon’s legendary image quality to the next level. Air Sphere Coating (ASC) minimises ghosting, flare and reduced contrast (even when you’re shooting towards the light) while Canon’s built-in Digital Lens Optimiser maximises sharpness throughout the aperture range without the need for you to resort to postprocessing software.

The ultimate all-rounder

Featuring an almost all-purpose zoom range with consistent f/4 brightness throughout, as well as a surprisingly compact form, the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM is both a perfect travel lens and an essential addition to any photographer’s kit. Capture a wide range of subjects, from architecture and landscapes to intimate portraits, with stunning detail and the convenience of not needing to change lenses.

State-of-the-art design

The first L-series lens to feature a Nano USM Motor, the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens delivers ultrafast focus while shooting stills and smooth focus adjustment while filming video. It also ensures crisp, shake-free images and footage thanks to 5-stop image stabilisation that works in conjunction with the camera.
