New Canon RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z Lens Announced

photographers and videographers, get ready for the exciting news – Canon has just unveiled the new RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z lens, providing professionals with new creative possibilities in a versatile zoom.

As the world’s first 24-105mm lens with a constant f/2.8 aperture, this groundbreaking optic combines a useful wide-angle to portrait-length range with a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture maintained through the entire zoom range. This design enables gorgeous background blur, excellent low light capabilities, and consistent exposure – advantages that were previously only possible with large, heavy f/2.8 zooms covering shorter ranges.

Built for both still and video capture, the lens features a manual aperture ring with smooth, clickless control to allow near-silent adjustment while filming. Paired with Canon’s new Power Zoom Adapter, shooters can achieve cinema-quality operational smoothness. Videographers will also appreciate the lack of external movement when zooming, keeping a consistent centre of gravity.

Canon’s reputation for optical excellence is clear with this L-series lens, incorporating 4 UD elements and 3 aspherical elements to achieve incredible sharpness from edge to edge. Dual Nano USM motors provide quick and quiet autofocus, while up to 8 stops of image stabilisation allow sharp handheld shots even in low light.

With its weather-sealed construction, customizable control ring, and fluorine coating to resist dust and moisture, this lens can keep up with the demands of daily professional use. For photographers and cinematographers needing one high-performance standard zoom, the Canon RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z delivers exciting new possibilities.
