Canon RF 24-105 F2.8 Z
A versatile full-frame zoom with a constant f/2.8 aperture, image stabilization, and cine-style control options, built for hybrid shooters and professional productions.
The Canon RF 24–105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z is a professional full-frame RF-mount zoom lens that combines the flexibility of an extended zoom range with the speed of a constant f/2.8 aperture. Covering wide-angle to short-telephoto perspectives, it serves as an all-in-one solution for portraits, events, documentary work, and video production. The f/2.8 aperture delivers strong low-light performance and shallow depth of field, while the lens’s optical image stabilization (up to 5.5 stops, or 8 stops with coordinated IBIS) ensures steady results during handheld shooting.
What sets the RF 24–105mm f/2.8 Z apart is its video-centric design features. It includes a dedicated iris control ring for smooth exposure adjustments, minimized focus breathing for consistent framing, and compatibility with Canon’s Power Zoom adapter for cinematic zoom control. Dual Nano USM motors provide fast, silent autofocus for both stills and video, while the rugged L-series build with weather sealing ensures reliability in demanding environments. This lens bridges the gap between still photography and cinema production needs, making it one of the most versatile zooms in the RF lineup.
