Comment: I don't think we format specs of products like that. We aren't a camera guide or something, so we don't need to compare multiple lens like this. AlphaBetaGamma (Talk/report any mistakes here) 00:53, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

The RF 24-105mm lenses are a group of wide-to-telephoto zoom lens made by Canon. The lenses have an RF mount to work with the R line of cameras.

The lens comes in three different versions, two of which are L-series lenses.

f/4.0-7.1 IS STM
f/4L IS USM
f/2.8L IS USM Z

Canon also sold the 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens as a bundle with the Canon EOS R.^[1]

Common fields of application

The 24–105mm lens is a versatile zoom lens commonly used in a variety of photographic and video applications due to its broad focal length range and optical stabilization.

35-mm-equivalent focal lengths on cameras with smaller sensors

On a 1.6x APS-C camera body, this lens' field of view is equivalent to that of a 38–168mm lens on a 35mm film camera; this is a very useful range, covering most normal to medium-telephoto needs.
