SLRgear Review January 5, 2015 by Andrew Alexander Canon released the EF 24-105mm ?'/3.5-5.6 IS STM in September of 2014, complementing its widely popular 24-105mm ?'/4L .

Full frame cameras have become much more affordable over the past couple of years, with models such as the Canon 6D now costing just ￡1200, and at last there's a lens to match in the form of the Canon 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM.

The EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens is the first Canon EF standard zoom lens for full-frame sensor cameras to include a lead screw-type stepping motor (STM) for smooth and quiet AF and tracking while shooting movies or still images.

Shooting with a full-frame DSLR is a costly business, and this goes beyond the price of the body alone.

The comparatively big EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 STM IS has a pretty good build quality - not quite L class but not quite on the usual kit lens level either. The lens body is made of high quality plastics based on a metal mount.

It's a good lens for the money, and for the general consumer who's interested in taking photos and movies outdoors it will serve admirably -- fast autofocus, versatile zoom range and image stabilization.
