Why we recommend this

A 24-240mm 10x zoom with 5-stop stabilization and Nano USM autofocus delivers full-frame versatility in a travel-ready 750g package. Smooth, quiet AF handles both photo sequences and professional-looking video focus pulls, while the lockable zoom ring adds handling security across the range. This lens is best for travel photographers and hybrid EOS R shooters who need a single lightweight optic for wide landscapes, portraits, and distant action.
