The 24-105mm zoom range is popular with photographers because it can cover a wide range of subject types and situations so we thought it would be useful to look at a one of the new versions of the original EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, which was released just over a decade ago to complement Canon's first...

The Canon EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM is a surprisingly capable standard zoom lens that will appeal most to photographers looking for a lightweight and responsive lens that won't cost the earth, and is a real alternative to the more expensive, 10-year-old Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM.

The real world experience is I could not tell the difference in a photo taken by this lens and the 24-105L, even wide open. This is not the sharpest 24-105 lens, but it is the fact that the "L" version is not a very good performer that makes this lens kinda outstanding (I owned and shot 2 copies of...

Price; light weight; good built; really close to the "L" in sharpness; silent STM focus

CA; Power need to be on to even "manual" focus; stop down to get to the "L" sharpness

I use a Canon 5D Mk IV camera. This lens is a lightweight version of the L series lens of the same focal length range. It is also slightly smaller and much quieter when focusing, which the benefit of the STM technology.

tHIS LENS WORK WELL WITH THE LENS HOOD AND THE FILTERS.

Lightweight; Sharp Focus

I bought this because I wanted a lens in this range and couldn't afford the L lens. I've been thrilled with it. Focus is quick and accurate. Images are sharp and crisp. It's now got about 10,000 shots on it and it's still as responsive and crisp as it was the first day.

Great image quality; fast focus; reasonable price

Some CA above about 90mm but it's minor enough that you have to go looking for it, as a rule; I've only noticed it on an item that had black and white checks, and one side of the black checks had small purple fringing; I didn't notice it until I was looking at the image full size on my computer

I bought this lens a few months ago and have since used it for pretty much everything. Nightclub photography. Astrophotography. Landscapes. You name it. this lens have excelled at it all.

The Canon EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens is an economically-built, value-priced, full frame compatible zoom lens that covers the most frequently used focal lengths. This lens offers excellently-performing image stabilization along with smooth and very quiet autofocus in a light and modestly-sized...

Specification This standard zoom lens covers a popular range from wide angle to short telephoto and includes image stabilisation and Canon's STM stepping motor to power autofocus. It costs around ￡405, which seems quite reasonable. In this review, we'll take a look at how it performs.

I bought this for video work in my online business and it has met or exceeded every expectation. Very fast focus and very quiet. I was looking at the EF 24-105 4.0L lens but though the wait was hard I'm very glad I held off.

STM motor is quiet and has good Af for movies

none for video
