Canon RF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM Full-Frame Lens (2018)
Product Gallery
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.

Reviewer score 80%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
