Product Description
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.
Optical Image Stabilization
For consistently sharp results, the RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z features
built-in optical Image Stabilization, providing enhanced shake reduction for up
to 5.5 stops of shake correction. When paired with an EOS R-series camera that
has In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), the Coordinated IS allows for up to 8.0
stops of correction. This means more reliable handheld performance and clear
detail in low-light situations, without having to increase the ISO or decrease
the shutter speed. Additionally, an IS Mode switch is featured for the first
time among Canon RF standard zoom lenses.
Nano USM Maintains Focus While Zooming
The RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z features two Nano USM (ultrasonic motors)
focus drive system, powering both its autofocus, and its floating optics which
move independently to ensure maximum image quality. Nano USM provides quiet and
smooth AF, especially useful during movie recording. In addition, the Nano USM
maintains focus while zooming to suppress aberration fluctuations during
high-speed burst or movie shooting.
Excellent Handling
With its fixed-length lens barrel design and balanced center of gravity, the
RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z provides excellent handling for any shooting style
and especially advantageous when using accessories for shooting video. The lens
comes with a tripod mount that can be easily attached and detached with a lock
release button, without the need of a special tool. Also available is the LH-E1
lens holder (sold separately), which supports the lens when combining with a
rig.
Durable and Dependable Build
The RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z boasts amazing durability and endurance youd
expect from an L-series lens. The lens barrel does not move during zooming or
focusing; both are achieved entirely internally. Weather-resistant sealing is
applied to areas such as the operation rings and switch panel to help prevent
water and dust from entering the unit. Fluorine coating is applied on the front
lens to prevent water, oil and other surface residue like fingerprints from
sticking to the lens, which facilitates quick and easy wiping without the use of
solvents. This dust- and water-resistant design allows for outstanding
performance even in inclement weather conditions.
