EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM

The Canon EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM is a standard wide-angle to telephoto zoom lens designed for Canon EF-mount DSLRs, providing a versatile focal range suitable for diverse shooting applications. The optical design incorporates two aspherical elements and one ultra-low dispersion element to minimize distortion, spherical aberrations, and color fringing while maintaining sharp, clear image rendering across the zoom range. A four-stop-effective optical image stabilizer helps reduce camera shake for sharper handheld shooting, particularly in low-light conditions, while the STM stepping autofocus motor delivers quick and near-silent focus performance with full-time manual override.

Super Spectra coating is applied to lens elements to minimize flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast and color accuracy in bright lighting conditions. The rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces a pleasing out-of-focus quality that benefits shallow depth-of-field and selective focus techniques. This compact, lightweight lens weighs 1.16 pounds and has a minimum focus distance of 1.31 feet, making it a practical general-purpose zoom for both photography and video work.
