Neither this nor the original 24 105 is zoom very easily.
Canon 24 105 full frame review.
The 24 105mm stm is a great lens for a fraction of the price and much easier to carry all day.
Measuring 83 5 mm in diameter and 107 3 mm in length at the 24mm setting the rf 24 105mm f 4 is relatively compact for a full frame zoom lens.
Bottom line the canon 24 105mm f 4 l is a really excellent optic but one that struggles a bit along the edges and in the corners with full frame bodies.
It is usefully wide at 24mm.
And the 24 105 l lens hood is much smaller as can be seen in the picture below.
It also weighs 95 grams less at 700 g versus 795 g.
It s the easiest to zoom has the most even zoom spacing between focal lengths has the best macro performance less distortion and is just as sharp.
As such it s an almost ideal candidate.
The canon ef 24 105mm f 4l is usm lens as you likely saw earlier in this review has a nice size and weight advantage over the 24 70 l 7 16 5 mm shorter and 6 lb 280g lighter.
