Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z Lens (RF mount)

Shoot uncompromised stills and movies with the professional RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z L-series lens. With a constant f/2.8 aperture for creative depth-of-field control and 5.5-stops optical image stabilisation¹ to keep you steady, it’s the perfect all in one lens. Plus, with filmmaking features such as electronic parfocal performance, focus breathing suppression and an iris ring, it’s the ideal choice for a hybrid video and stills workflow.

RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z marks a significant milestone in lens technology, one that many photographers and videographers have been waiting for. This all-in-one lens essentially performs as multiple lenses – including attributes from broadcast, cinema and standard RF lenses to make a truly versatile lens concept. It is the first RF zoom lens to combine a dedicated iris/ aperture control ring and Servo functionality via optional power zoom adapters.

It is designed to cater to the increased demand within the pro creator community for hybrid shoots encapsulating photo and video content. This feature rich, professional-level lens lends itself perfectly to capturing news, documentaries, corporate work, weddings, events, and social media content.

The Canon RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z combines the convenience and reach of the RF 24-105mm F4L IS USM lens, with the creative and low-light capability of the RF 24-70mm F2.8L IS USM – meaning there’s no longer a need to choose between these two strengths when seeking the perfect shot. The lens also maintains 5.5-stop optical image stabilisation for unparalleled image quality (up to 8-stops when combined with in-body image stabilisation1), providing extreme stability for handheld movies and high image quality when shooting images in dynamic shooting situations, such as weddings or events. The smooth control iris ring (for video) offers fine control over changing exposure – all paired with an 11-base iris for beautiful bokeh.

The new lens bridges the gap in the market for hybrid lenses, offering professional shooters the quality they seek across static and video content.

Key Features/Highlights:

• Excellent image quality and weather sealing providing added durability – alongside sharp high-contrast images due to four UD lenses to correct chromatic aberration
• Professional electronic parfocal focus capability and focus breathing suppression to maintain a consistent field-of-view when shooting movies
• Internal zoom operation meaning the barrel length is constant, which is better for rigging, weather resistance, and has a smoother operation
• Smooth iris ring operation with 32 steps between stops (no clicks) and a lock release switch for the 'Auto' position

The features of the RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z lens can be taken even further with the newly launched power zoom adapters, bringing greater flexibility for filmmakers. The power zoom adapters allow for smooth zoom operation and remote control via Canon’s Camera Connect app or EOS Utility.
