A powerful multiuse zoom for photo and video, the RF 24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z Lens from Canon is the first of its kind at this focal length and aperture. By utilizing dual Nano USM motors, this lens achieves fast and nearly silent autofocusing. The constant f/2.8 aperture allows for optimal low light performance and provides flattering bokeh for portraits at any focal length. In-lens optical image stabilization offers five and a half stops of correction, or eight stops with Coordinated IS when paired with a compatible camera. Four ultra-low dispersion elements and three aspherical elements help create sharper images and reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations. Additionally, the RF 24-105mm f/2.8 benefits from Super Spectra, Air Sphere, and Fluorine coatings, which work together to minimize ghosting and flare caused by lens surface reflection.

Silent Nano USM Autofocus
Two Canon Nano USM autofocus motors allow smooth and responsive focusing performance from the RF 24-105mm f/2.8. Full-time manual focusing is also available. Eleven aperture blades render the out of focus areas of your frame to be more visually pleasing.
Practical in Any Shooting Scenario
With its constant f/2.8 aperture, the RF 24-105mm excels even in harsh lighting conditions making it a strong choice for weddings, events, and photojournalism. While many comparable lenses are capped at 70mm, this lens's ability to push to 105mm gives users the advantage of stronger portrait focal lengths.
Focus Ring with Tactile Feedback
As you rotate the focus ring in either direction you'll feel soft click-stops that give you a sense of how much you're adjusting.

Incredibly well built, fast focusing, sharp and doesn't miss. Paired with my R5ii, it's amazing!
I used primes for years and coming to this makes framing a shot effortless. Perfect for event and corporate photography, even portraits! Love it!
Amazing but disappointing on C50

In 2004 I switched to Canon for DSLR after 35 years and five Nikon film cameras because of the EF 24-70mm 2.8 L and EF 70-200mm 2.8 L lenses I've used on 20D, 50D, R6mkII and C50 with EF-RF converter. I also have the RF 10-20mm f/4, RF 100-500mm, and RF 800mm f/11. I decided to get the RF 24-105 2.8 Z for use on the C50 but was disappointed to find out the control ring and buttons on the lens cannot be configured from the C50, not what expected for a lens designed for shooting video.
In light of the power zoom feature of the RF 20-50mm PZ it was very shortsighted of Canon not to include power zoom on this lens. Instead one most spend another $1200 for a power zoom attachment and it would not function with the zoom lever around the shutter button on the C50's grip and auto handle.

Asked by: paul
Due to the difference in the focal flange length measurements of the Canon RF mount and the Sony E-mount, there are no lens mount adapters designed to connect Canon RF lenses, such as the Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z Lens (Canon RF), onto the Sony E lens mount used on the Sony FX6 Full-Frame Cinema Camera.
