Why we recommend this

Combining a first-of-its-kind constant f/2.8 aperture with a 24-105mm zoom range, this lens eliminates the need to swap optics for low-light shooting up to 105mm. It uniquely integrates a dedicated, click-less iris ring for smooth cinematic exposure control, paired with dual Nano USM motors for silent autofocus and up to 8 stops of coordinated stabilization. This lens is best for hybrid shooters and photojournalists who need a single, weather-sealed solution for both 4K video production and event photography.
