Canon L EF 24-105mm is II USM 24-105mm
A constant f/4 aperture across its 24-105mm zoom range and four GMo aspherical elements deliver consistent sharpness, while the ring-type USM provides fast, near-silent autofocus. Optical Image Stabilization and a fluorine coating on the front element add practical handheld shooting and protection benefits that specs alone don’t fully convey. This lens is best for portrait and event photographers who need a versatile, full-frame standard zoom with reliable L-series build quality.
