Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z Lens

 Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z Lens

The World's First f/2.8 24-105mm Hybrid Zoom

The Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z is a monumental achievement in optical engineering. For decades, photographers and filmmakers had to choose between the bright f/2.8 aperture of a 24-70mm lens, or the longer, highly versatile reach of a 24-105mm f/4 lens. This groundbreaking "Z-series" hybrid lens completely eliminates that compromise, delivering the world's first constant f/2.8 maximum aperture across the entire 24-105mm zoom range.

Designed to seamlessly bridge the gap between high-end still photography and professional cinema production, the lens features a fixed-length internal zoom, a dedicated iris ring, and compatibility with motorized power zoom adapters. Whether you are shooting a fast-paced wedding, a high-end corporate documentary, or daily photojournalism, this single lens can replace multiple standard zooms and primes in your camera bag.

Why You'll Love This Lens

• The Groundbreaking f/2.8 Aperture: This is the defining feature of the lens. Being a full stop brighter than a traditional 24-105mm f/4, it lets in twice as much light. This allows you to shoot in dimly lit reception halls and dark event spaces with drastically lower ISOs, while providing beautiful background blur (bokeh) at the 105mm telephoto end.

• True Internal Zoom: The physical length of the lens never changes. All zooming is done internally, meaning the center of gravity remains completely static. This is an absolute game-changer for filmmakers, as you no longer have to re-balance your motorized gimbal every time you change your focal length from 24mm to 105mm.

• Power Zoom Ready: The "Z" designation means this lens is compatible with Canon’s optional Power Zoom Adapters (PZ-E2 and PZ-E2B). These motorized attachments lock onto the side of the lens barrel, allowing for buttery-smooth, cinematic zoom pulls at the push of a button or remotely via an app.

• Dedicated Manual Iris Ring: Video shooters will love the dedicated, clickless aperture (iris) ring on the lens barrel. It allows for smooth, silent exposure adjustments while filming, bringing high-end cinema-lens ergonomics directly to a highly versatile autofocus zoom.

• Blazing Dual Nano USM: Driven by two separate Nano USM motors, the autofocus is blisteringly fast, terrifyingly accurate, and whisper-quiet. It effortlessly tracks unpredictable subjects for photography while providing completely silent, distraction-free focus pulls for video.

• Pro-Level Stabilization (IS): The built-in Optical Image Stabilizer provides up to 5.5 stops of shake correction. When paired with an IBIS-equipped camera body (like the EOS R5 Mark II or R3), it achieves a staggering 8.0 stops of coordinated control, allowing for incredibly smooth handheld video and sharp low-light stills.

Things to Note

Unlike its longer telephoto sibling (the RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z), the RF 24-105mm Z is NOT compatible with Canon's RF 1.4x or 2x Teleconverters. Also, remember that to utilize the motorized cinematic zooming features, the Power Zoom Adapter (PZ-E2) is sold separately.
