    Canon RF 24-105mm F4.0-7.1 IS STM

    24–105mm · f/4–7.1

    Overview

    The Canon RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM is a compact, lightweight, and affordable general-purpose zoom lens for full-frame EOS R cameras. Optically, it delivers good image quality across the zoom range, though strong barrel distortion at the wide end requires correction. Its slow variable aperture, especially f/7.1 at 105mm, is a notable weakness. Build quality is acceptable for the price, with a plastic body and metal mount, but lacks weather sealing and an AF/MF switch. The lens features effective 5-stop image stabilization and a quiet STM autofocus, suitable for video. It suits budget-conscious users seeking a versatile walk-around lens for everyday photography.
