Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS USM Z Lens: The Ultimate Hybrid Zoom for Photo & Video
Introducing Canon's ultimate hybrid general zoom lens, the Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS USM Z Lens in sleek black, designed to seamlessly bridge the worlds of professional photography and videography in Port Moresby and across Papua New Guinea. This groundbreaking lens offers an extended and highly versatile 24-105mm focal length range while maintaining a bright constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom, making it exceptional for both stills and video, especially in challenging lighting conditions.
Experience unparalleled creative control with features like a dedicated iris ring for smooth, cinema-style aperture adjustments, and a constant lens length during zooming, ensuring consistent balance and handling. This lens is also compatible with optional Power Zoom Adapters PZ-E2/PZ-E2B (sold separately), unlocking a cinema lens-like experience for precise and controlled zoom movements in your video productions across PNG.
The RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS USM Z supports a wide range of photographic and video needs, from capturing expansive landscapes and environmental portraits to mid-telephoto shots, all with the convenience of a single, high-performance lens. The consistent f/2.8 aperture not only excels in low light, allowing you to capture the vibrant nightlife of Port Moresby or the subtle beauty of PNG's natural landscapes at dusk, but also provides beautiful background blur (bokeh) for stunning subject isolation.
Benefit from the speed and near-silent operation of dual Nano USM autofocus motors, ensuring smooth and accurate tracking of moving subjects, whether you're capturing fast-paced action or discreetly filming wildlife. As the first RF lens with an iris ring, you gain highly flexible and tactile aperture control, allowing for cinematic depth-of-field adjustments with a light, smooth torque and no clicking, crucial for minimizing unwanted noise during video recording.
The lens's fixed front element facilitates smooth internal zooming, maintaining the center of gravity for stable and balanced operation, especially important for video work. Achieve steady handheld shots thanks to the built-in Optical Image Stabilization, providing up to 5.5 stops of shake correction. When paired with an EOS R series camera featuring In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), you can achieve up to an impressive 8.0 stops of coordinated control IS, ensuring sharp and clear photos and videos even when shooting handheld, at long exposures, or in low light conditions prevalent in some parts of Papua New Guinea.
