Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM Lens
Ultra-Compact Standard Zoom with Center Macro Capabilities for EOS R Mirrorless Systems
The Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM is an exceptionally sleek, lightweight standard zoom lens engineered as the ultimate everyday walkaround companion for Canon’s full-frame EOS R-series mirrorless cameras. Spanning an incredibly practical focal range from ultra-wide landscapes to short-telephoto portraits, this multi-purpose lens adapts effortlessly to street photography, travel documentation, landscapes, and daily vlogging.

By implementing an intelligent variable aperture framework, Canon reduced the physical lens footprint to a minimum. This creates a pocket-friendly, highly portable zoom that doesn’t compromise on advanced features, integrating robust 5-stop optical stabilization, quiet stepping-motor autofocus, and a unique close-up Center Macro framework.

Versatile Standard Range & Space-Saving Variable Aperture
24-105mm Full-Frame Composition: Offers a highly flexible wide-to-telephoto framing spectrum on full-frame mirrorless bodies. It is also compatible with crop-sensor APS-C EOS R cameras, where it yields a compressed 38.4-168mm short-telephoto biased travel zoom range.

Ultra-Slim, Everyday Walkaround Profile: The variable maximum aperture design allows the lens to maintain an impressively compact, featherlight physical barrel structure, making it an excellent option for day-long excursions, family events, and streamlined travel packing.

Rounded Seven-Blade Diaphragm: Outfitted with a 7-blade circular aperture array that delivers a smooth, pleasing background blur (bokeh), allowing your primary subjects to pop cleanly against soft out-of-focus elements.

Specialized Center Macro Focus & Hardware Stabilization
Innovative Center Macro Focus Position: Unlocks unique close-up capabilities when switching into manual focus at the 24mm wide-angle position. This specialized profile lets you get up close to fine textures, food details, and nature elements with a dramatic, expanding field of view.

Half Life-Size 1:2 Magnification: Achieves a maximum magnification ratio of 1:2 (half life-size) coupled with an incredibly near minimum focusing distance of just 5.2 inches, providing excellent macro versatility without forcing you to carry a separate lens.

5-Stop Optical Image Stabilizer (IS): Features a built-in hardware Optical Image Stabilizer that counteracts handheld camera shake by up to five stops. This hardware assist enables significantly sharper handheld imagery and steadier panning video tracks when shooting in dim ambient light or at slower shutter speeds.

Dual-Purpose Control Ring & Quiet STM Autofocus
Configurable Lens Control Ring: Features a dedicated, dual-purpose control ring on the barrel that can be electronically mapped to tweak essential exposure parameters directly from the lens. Seamlessly adjust your lens aperture, change ISO values, fine-tune shutter speeds, or dial in exposure compensation on the fly.

Smooth STM Stepping Autofocus Motor: Employs an internal lead-screw type STM stepping motor optimized for both rapid stills capture and fluid, cinema-style video recording. The system delivers fast, quiet, and highly precise focus tracks that will not introduce distracting mechanical noise into audio feeds.

Full-Time Manual Focus Override: Supports full-time manual focus override capabilities, allowing you to execute instant manual focus fine-tuning on the fly simply by turning the focus ring—even while remaining in an active autofocus profile.
