Even in low light, this lens will excel for weddings and events, photojournalism, portraiture, studio work, and video creation.
Features
Outstanding Optical Performance with Consistent f/2.8 Maximum Aperture
By taking advantage of the large diameter RF mount and short back focus, the RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z is able to achieve a maximum aperture of f/2.8 throughout its entire zoom range. This enables you to continuously shoot up to the frequently used 105mm without switching lenses, opening a world of possibilities for both photo and movie shooting.
Supports Optional Canon Power Zoom Adapters
The RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z crosses the worlds of photography and movies. The optional Power Zoom Adapters PZ-E2 and PZ-E2B enable smooth, high-precision zoom control during movie shooting. Plus, attachment and detaching can be managed without the use of a special tool. The Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E2B comes equipped with a 20-pin port for compatibility with cinema or broadcast lens accessories such as zoom servo grip or focus demand. This lens and Power Zoom Adapter combination makes unassisted single-person video shooting operation easy and within reach.
Eleven Aperture Blades for Rich Bokeh
With eleven aperture blades and a large f/2.8 aperture, the RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z produces a beautiful, almost circular bokeh effect - even when stopped-down. The wide aperture also allows for faster shutter speeds in low light situations and helps prevent subject blurs.
Iris Ring for Precise Lens Aperture Control
The RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z is equipped with an iris ring (aperture control), the first among RF lenses. This allows video users to manually control exposure adjustment and the degree of background blur while shooting video, with click-less, smooth operation - similar to the operability in a cinema lens.
Close-focusing to Under 1.5 ft., Max. Magnification 0.29x
With a minimum focusing distance of approximately 1.5 ft./0.45m, the RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z lens helps you get close to your subjects. The maximum magnification is 0.29x at 105mm, allowing you to capture subtle details more expansively and clearly. Focus shifts during zooming are minimal - plus, it supports focus breathing correction in which the camera digitally corrects for changes in angle of view caused by focus movement during video recording, especially during closeup shooting.
