Canon RF 24–105mm F/2.8 L IS USM Z Lens

Professional Fast-Aperture Standard Zoom Lens

The Canon RF 24–105mm F/2.8 L IS USM Z is a premium standard zoom lens designed for Canon RF-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. With a versatile 24–105mm focal-length range, constant f/2.8 aperture, Nano USM autofocus, and up to 8 stops of coordinated image stabilisation, it is an excellent all-in-one lens for portraits, weddings, events, travel, video, documentary work, and professional content creation.

As part of Canon’s L-series, it combines high-resolution optical construction, weather-resistant build quality, a dedicated aperture ring, power-zoom compatibility, and a robust 1,430 g design for photographers and filmmakers who need dependable performance across a wide range of shooting situations.

24–105mm Versatile Zoom Range

The RF 24–105mm F/2.8 L IS USM Z provides a 24–105mm focal-length range on full-frame Canon EOS R cameras. At 24mm, it delivers a wide 84-degree diagonal angle of view for landscapes, interiors, group photos, and environmental portraits. At 105mm, it narrows to a 23-degree 20-minute diagonal angle of view for tighter portraits, details, and medium-telephoto compositions.

This broad zoom range makes the lens suitable for a wide variety of subjects, allowing photographers and videographers to move from wide scenes to closer compositions without changing lenses. It is especially useful for weddings, events, travel, documentary work, and professional video production.

Constant f/2.8 Maximum Aperture

The lens maintains a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture throughout the entire zoom range. This allows consistent exposure and depth-of-field control when zooming from 24mm to 105mm, making it easier to work in changing lighting conditions.

The wide aperture helps create a shallow depth of field, allowing subjects to stand out against softly blurred backgrounds. It is especially useful for portraits, weddings, indoor events, low-light photography, and cinematic video recording.

The lens features an 11-blade circular diaphragm, helping produce smooth, natural-looking out-of-focus areas and attractive bokeh. Its aperture range extends from f/2.8 to f/22, giving users flexibility for different lighting conditions and depth-of-field preferences.

High-Resolution L-Series Optical Design

The Canon RF 24–105mm F/2.8 L IS USM Z uses an advanced optical construction with 23 elements in 18 groups. It includes four UD elements, two GMo aspherical elements, and one replica aspherical element to help reduce chromatic aberration, distortion, and other optical imperfections across the zoom range.

Canon’s Super Spectra and ASC coatings help reduce ghosting and flare, supporting clearer images when shooting toward bright light sources, during sunsets, night photography, or backlit scenes. This optical design is intended to deliver sharp, detailed images across the full 24–105mm range.

Up to 8 Stops of Image Stabilization

The lens includes built-in Optical Image Stabilization that provides up to 5.5 stops of shake correction when used on its own. When paired with a compatible Canon EOS R camera body that features In-Body Image Stabilization, the lens and camera can work together through Coordinated IS to provide up to 8 stops of stabilisation.

This makes the RF 24–105mm F/2.8 L IS USM Z especially useful for handheld photography in low light, night scenes, interiors, travel shooting, and video recording without a tripod. Stabilisation helps support sharper images and smoother handheld footage in challenging shooting conditions.

Close Focusing and Creative Close-Ups

The lens can focus as close as 0.45 metres from the sensor plane at both 24mm and 105mm. This allows photographers to create close-up compositions with a strong sense of depth and perspective.

With a maximum magnification of 0.29x at 105mm and 0.08x at 24mm, the lens is suitable for creative foreground compositions, environmental details, food photography, products, flowers, and immersive storytelling images. Its close-focusing ability adds versatility for photographers who want to combine standard zoom coverage with detailed close-up work.

Fast and Quiet Nano USM Autofocus

The Canon RF 24–105mm F/2.8 L IS USM Z uses two Nano USM autofocus motors for fast, smooth, and quiet focusing. This makes it suitable for still photography, video recording, travel content, vlogging, events, and fast-moving subjects.

The lens supports full-time manual focus, allowing photographers to make fine adjustments while maintaining autofocus operation. This is useful for portraits, macro-style close-ups, product photography, and precise video work.

Internal Zoom and Power-Zoom Compatibility

The Canon RF 24–105mm F/2.8 L IS USM Z features an internal zoom design, meaning the front lens element does not extend during zooming. This helps maintain a balanced centre of gravity and makes the lens well suited to gimbal work, stabilised video shooting, and professional camera rigs.

The lens is also compatible with Canon’s optional PZ-E2 and PZ-E2B power-zoom adapters, allowing users to add powered zoom control for smoother video production and more precise framing during filming.

Dedicated Aperture Ring

The lens includes a dedicated aperture ring with click stops, giving photographers direct control over exposure and depth of field. The ring also supports a click-stop release function, allowing smoother, quieter aperture adjustments during video recording.

This provides quick, intuitive control without taking the eye away from the viewfinder, making the lens especially convenient for travel, event, documentary, and video photography.

Robust L-Series Construction

The Canon RF 24–105mm F/2.8 L IS USM Z measures approximately 88.5 mm in diameter and 199 mm in length, with an approximate weight of 1,430 g. Its solid construction reflects its professional L-series design and provides a secure, balanced feel on compatible Canon EOS R camera bodies.

The lens uses a metal RF mount and features a robust barrel design for dependable use in demanding shooting environments. Its internal zoom system and professional build make it well suited to both still photography and video production.

Weather-Resistant Professional Build

The lens features a dust- and moisture-resistant construction designed for more reliable use in challenging outdoor environments. A fluorine coating on the front element helps resist fingerprints, dust, water droplets, and smudges, making the surface easier to clean during outdoor use.

Its weather-resistant design makes it a practical option for landscape, travel, architecture, and outdoor photography. As with all weather-resistant equipment, care should still be taken in heavy rain, dust, or extreme conditions.

82mm Filter Compatibility

The Canon RF 24–105mm F/2.8 L IS USM Z accepts 82mm filters, allowing photographers to use compatible protective filters, polarisers, and neutral-density filters. This adds flexibility for outdoor photography, long-exposure work, reducing reflections, and protecting the front element during travel or challenging conditions.

The lens also includes a reversible petal-shaped lens hood to help reduce unwanted flare and provide added front-element protection during shooting.

Ideal for Weddings and Event Photography

The Canon RF 24–105mm F/2.8 L IS USM Z is an excellent choice for photographers and videographers who want a single versatile lens for a wide range of subjects. It is particularly well suited to weddings, events, portraits, travel, documentary work, video production, architecture, interiors, and everyday professional photography.

Its constant f/2.8 aperture, broad 24–105mm zoom range, advanced stabilisation, internal zoom design, and premium L-series optics make it a powerful all-in-one solution for Canon EOS R full-frame mirrorless photographers.
