Canon RF 24-105mm f4-7.1 IS STM Lens Overview

The Canon RF 24-105mm f4-7.1 IS STM is a versatile zoom lens that gives you a useful focal range for everyday photography. Going from a wide-angle 24mm to a mid-telephoto 105mm, it lets you photograph anything from sweeping landscapes to candid portraits with just one lens. Importantly, it has image stabilisation (or IS) which helps counter camera shake when shooting handheld. This is useful in low light when shutter speeds get slower.

For a hobbyist or less technical photographer, the key things this lens offers are convenience and good image quality without getting overwhelmed by complex features. The zoom range covers most general shooting situations. The wide f/4 aperture at 24mm gives a nice background blur for portraits and also helps in dim conditions indoors or at night. As you zoom in, the aperture becomes a still reasonable f/7.1 at 105mm. Autofocus is quick and quiet thanks to the STM motor, useful for videos or not disturbing subjects. Overall sharpness and colour are very good for the price.

While it’s not a professional lens, the Canon 24-105mm f/4-7.1 gives beginners a versatile tool to explore all sorts of stills photography and video without constantly swapping lenses. It’s a great step up from a basic kit lens. Being lightweight and affordable too, it’s ideal if you’re investing in your first serious RF-mount camera body like the EOS R or RP and need an all-purpose lens for travel, events, portraits and more.

Canon RF 24-105mm f4-7.1 IS STM Lens Features In Details

Versatile Zoom Range

The 24-105mm zoom range covers wide-angle to short telephoto perspectives in a single convenient lens. At 24mm, you can shoot expansive landscapes and architecture fitting more of the scene into a dramatic composition. The 105mm reach enables flattering portrait framing without being too close or distorted. Everything in between is covered too – 35mm approximately mimics the human field of view for natural perspective.

Lightweight Design

Weighing just 700g, this lens won’t fatigue your neck when shooting handheld for long periods. Paired with an equally portable EOS RP or R body, it makes an impressively small full-frame kit for travel. The compact lens elements and clever collapsible mechanism aid portability. Plastic construction helps reduce weight without sacrificing durability.

Optical Image Stabilisation

The up to 5 stops of optical stabilisation counteracts camera shake to allow sharp handheld shots at slower shutter speeds and prevent blurry images. This is especially useful in low-light situations where you need to decrease ISO sensitivity for cleaner images. It also gives a stable stabilised preview in the viewfinder aiding composition.

STM Focus Motor

The stepping motor AF system focuses smoothly, quietly and accurately whilst shooting stills or video. Subjects will barely notice the lens focusing, also useful at events. Manual focus override is possible with the STM motor for creative control and there is a natural decoupled focus-by-wire feel.

0.5m Close Focusing

A very useful 0.5m minimum focus distance is maintained throughout the entire zoom range. At 24mm you can shoot subjects magnified 1.5 times larger than life size for impactful wide perspective close-ups. It also doubles as a moderate macro lens for flowers, products, detail and abstract shots.

Control Ring

The programmable control ring lets you quickly adjust key exposure settings during shooting without entering menus. Set to adjust the aperture, shutter speed, ISO or more. Useful for rapidly responding to changes in light levels when shooting manually. The control ring position is reflected on the in-camera settings display.

Affordable Pricing

This lens hits a sweet spot blending impressive overall optical performance, versatility and portability at a price point accessible to those stepping up from kit lenses. While not cheap it represents excellent value compared to Canon L series pro lenses. The ideal partner for an affordable EOS R mirrorless camera without compromising image quality.

What We Think The Canon RF 24-105mm f4-7.1 IS STM Lens Review

The Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM punches well above its weight given its affordable price tag and position in Canon’s mirrorless line-up. It delivers sharp, vibrant images across a highly versatile everyday zoom range, aided by effective image stabilisation to steady both stills and video. Autofocus is snappy and quiet thanks to STM technology.

While the aperture isn’t the fastest, it’s perfectly adequate for this class of lens. f/4 at 24mm gives decent subject isolation when required, narrowing to f/7.1 at the telephoto end. However, with a close 0.5m focus distance offering 1:2 magnification, you can still get some lovely bokeh blur in close-ups across the whole zoom span.

The lightweight and compact design is a bonus making this an ideal walkaround lens when paired with equally portable RF mount bodies like the EOS RP. It’s also weatherproof offering decent protection against the elements. Big thumbs up to the control ring too which improves handling, allowing adjustment of exposure settings on the fly.

At this affordable price point, the Canon RF 24-105mm represents outstanding value as a starter lens for those investing in the RF system. It makes the perfect partner for the EOS RP or R giving new users tremendous creative scope. While many kit lenses compromise quality for cost savings, this thankfully doesn’t. If you want an all-purpose highly capable lens you can grow with, we highly recommend Canon’s 24-105.
