Product Overview

Canon RF 24-105mm F4L IS USM is a standard zoom lens for Canon RF-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Canon in 2018 as the original "kit lens" for the new RF-mount, it has 18 elements in 14 groups.
For incremental weathers, Canon is kind enough to include weather sealing.
A standard zoom lens with moderate aperture, the Canon RF 24-105mm F4L IS USM is more of a "volume seller" than a premium option. Still, some photographers may find the results "good enough". The lens is also stabilized, making it even easier to use for videos and stills alike.

The Canon RF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM Lens is the best multi-purpose choice for the EOS R series cameras. With this lens you get an excellent focal length range in a lens sized for comfortable long-term use. This lens focuses very fast with ultra-useful accuracy and image quality is great.
Pros
  • Wide focal length range
  • Excellent image stabilization
  • Long focus ring rotation
Cons
  • Not compatible with Canon EOS cameras

Reviewer score 80% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from pcmag have found:
The Canon RF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM is likely to be the first lens many EOS R owners purchase. For first-time Canon buyers intrigued by the R mirrorless system, it's a solid introduction. It's not perfectly corrected for distortion, and doesn't have the head-turning f/2 design of the RF 28-70mm.
Pros
  • Sharp, sharp optics
  • Good close-up capability
  • Quick autofocus
Cons
  • Vignette correction can add grain at higher ISO
