78 out of 100 medium confidence 25 reviews

The Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM lens is widely praised as a lightweight, versatile kit lens that delivers sharp images and effective stabilization for its price. Many users appreciate its value as a travel and everyday lens, though some note significant distortion and vignetting at 24mm, a slow aperture, and limited macro capabilities. It is seen as a solid entry-level option but not a replacement for L-series or prime lenses.

  • Lightweight and compact
  • Sharp image quality
  • Effective image stabilization
  • Versatile zoom range
  • Good value for the price
Cons
  • Slow aperture (f/4-7.1)
  • Significant distortion at 24mm

  • Soft corners after correction
  • Limited true macro capability
