Canon has announced the RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS USM Z lens.
Despite 2 other lenses being released today, this one seems the most unique.
Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS USM Z Specifications:
- Constant f/2.8 aperture
- Internal focusing
- 5.5 stops Image Stabilization
- 2 x Nano USM focus motors
- 0.45m closest focusing distance
- 82mm filter size
- Power zoom port
- 11 aperture blades
- 1330g (2.93 lb)
First, this is the only 24-105mm f/2.8 lens from any brand so far. For photography, this is an excellent travel/all-in-one choice if you are okay with the weight and size.
It’s video where this lens truly shines. It focuses internally, the weight doesn’t shift too much when zooming, and the IS combined with the body’s own works up to 8 stops.
Then we have 2 x Nano USM motors for focusing which achieves extremely fast and nearly silent auto focusing.
