    Overview

    The Canon EF 24-105mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM is an affordable, lightweight full-frame zoom with a versatile 24-105mm range. Optically, it delivers good image quality at narrower apertures and punches above its weight for the price, but it is not weather-sealed and lacks constant aperture. Build quality is good but mostly plastic, with a metal mount and a lock to prevent zoom creep. The STM AF is smooth and quiet, ideal for video, and the 4-stop IS is effective. It suits budget-conscious full-frame users seeking a general-purpose lens with video capability.
