Canon RF 24-105mm F4.0-7.1 IS STM Overview

Canon RF 24-105mm F4.0-7.1 IS STM is an Auto Focus (AF) Standard Zoom lens with 35mm FF max sensor coverage and it is designed to be used with Canon RF mount cameras.

Lens Mount

Canon RF 24-105mm F4.0-7.1 IS STM is compatible with cameras that have Canon RF lens mount. Some of the latest released cameras that are compatible with the Canon RF lenses are Canon R10, Canon R7 and Canon R5 C.

Focal Range

Canon RF 24-105mm F4.0-7.1 IS STM has a focal range of 24-105mm and 4.4X zoom ratio. When it is mounted on an APS-C sensor camera with 1.6x crop, it provides an 35mm (FF) equivalent of 38.4 - 168mm.
