Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z Lens

Over the years, Canon has consistently delivered top-tier photography equipment, and the RF 24-105mm F 2.8 L IS USM Z Lens is no exception. This lens, the world's first to combine a 24-105mm focal length with a consistent f/ 2.8 aperture, offers unparalleled versatility and performance. Designed for full-frame coverage, this lens breaks the traditional 70mm barrier, extending to a true portrait-length of 105mm. This makes it an ideal choice for a variety of applications, including weddings, events, photojournalism, studio work, and video creation. The RF 24-105mm F 2.8 L IS USM Z Lens takes full advantage of the large diameter RF mount and short back focus, achieving a maximum aperture of f/ 2.8 throughout its entire zoom range.

This feature allows for continuous shooting up to 105mm without the need to switch lenses, opening up a world of possibilities for both photo and movie shooting. For videographers, the lens supports optional Canon Power Zoom Adapters PZ-E2 and PZ-E2B, enabling smooth, high-precision zoom control during movie shooting. The Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E2B even comes equipped with a 20-pin port for compatibility with cinema or broadcast lens accessories. The lens features an 11-blade aperture, producing a beautiful, almost circular bokeh effect, even when stopped down. The wide aperture also allows for faster shutter speeds in low light situations and helps prevent subject blur.

The RF 24-105mm F 2.8 L IS USM Z Lens is equipped with an iris ring (aperture control), a first among RF lenses. This feature allows video users to manually control exposure adjustment and the degree of background blur with click-less, smooth operation. With a minimum focusing distance of approximately 1.5 ft. / 0.45 m and a maximum magnification of 0.29 x at 105mm, this lens helps you capture subtle details more expansively and clearly. It also supports focus breathing correction, digitally correcting changes in angle of view caused by focus movement during video recording.

The built-in optical Image Stabilization provides up to 5.5 stops of shake correction, and when paired with an EOS R-series camera with In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), the Coordinated IS allows for up to 8.0 stops of correction. This ensures more reliable handheld performance and clear detail in low-light situations. The RF 24-105mm F 2.8 L IS USM Z Lens features two Nano USM (ultrasonic motors) focus drive system, powering both its autofocus and its "floating" optics to ensure maximum image quality. The Nano USM provides quiet and smooth AF, especially useful during movie recording.

The lens boasts a durable and dependable build, with weather-resistant sealing applied to areas such as the operation rings and switch panel to help prevent water and dust from entering the unit. The front lens is coated with fluorine to prevent water, oil, and other surface residue like fingerprints from sticking to the lens, facilitating quick and easy cleaning. In summary, the Canon RF 24-105mm F 2.8 L IS USM Z Lens is a versatile, high-quality lens that offers advanced features and reliable performance for both photography and videography.
