The Canon RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM is a lightweight full-frame zoom for EOS R photographers who want travel, everyday scenes, landscapes and portraits from one lens, and we recommend it when mobility and flexible framing matter more than a constant bright aperture. Its 24-105mm range moves from a wide view to a tighter portrait without changing optics. Canon rates the optical stabiliser at up to five stops for steadier handheld images of static subjects, while STM autofocus works discreetly for stills and video. At 395g, the lens is easy to carry for a full day. The aperture narrows to f/7.1 at the long end, which needs consideration in low light. It is a sensible option for building a compact Canon EOS R travel kit.

Canon RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM: one light zoom for the day
The Canon RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM is the compact standard zoom in the RF system. On a full-frame Canon EOS R camera, it moves from a 24mm landscape to a tighter 105mm portrait without filling the bag with lenses. Its appeal is practical rather than theatrical: 395g, optical stabilisation and genuinely useful close focusing. The compromise is a maximum aperture that narrows from f/4 to f/7.1 while zooming. This makes it better suited to travel, daylight and static scenes than fast action in a dim interior.
Canon RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM key strengths
- 24-105mm full-frame range moves from landscapes to tighter portraits without changing lens.
- Canon-listed 395g weight for walking, travel and a full day with the camera.
- Optical stabilisation rated up to five stops under Canon test conditions.
- STM autofocus for discreet everyday focusing and progressive video transitions.
- 0.20m autofocus distance at 24mm for placing a close detail in its surroundings.
- Up to 0.40x magnification at 105mm in autofocus for flowers, objects and travel details.
- 0.5x Center Focus Macro in manual focus for stronger close-ups in the centre of the frame.
- 13 elements in 11 groups, including one aspherical element.
- 67mm filter thread shared by many polarising and neutral-density filters.
- 76.6 × 88.8mm retracted dimensions keep the RF setup relatively compact.
What its specifications change in practice
| Specification | Practical benefit | What to consider |
|---|---|---|
| 24-105mm | One zoom covers place, scene, portrait and detail. | On APS-C, framing becomes roughly 38-168mm equivalent. |
| f/4-7.1 aperture | f/4 at the wide end is useful in daylight and for nearby subjects. | The lens becomes slower while zooming and reaches f/7.1 near 105mm. |
| Five-stop IS | Supports sharper handheld results with static subjects. | It cannot freeze a moving person, animal or vehicle. |
| 395g weight | Easy to carry and less tiring on the wrist. | Construction does not provide the protection of an L-series lens. |
| 0.5x MF close-up | A detail can fill much of the frame without a macro lens. | Maximum magnification uses manual focus and the central image area. |

Travel, landscape or portrait: where is this 24-105mm most useful?
Its advantage appears when subjects change quickly during travel: a building at 24mm, a street scene around 35 or 50mm, then a portrait or detail at 85-105mm. For landscapes, the wide end provides room while the longer settings isolate a distant feature. Portrait photographers gain flattering perspective near the long end, although f/7.1 requires more light than a constant-aperture zoom or prime. STM focusing and stabilisation also suit lightweight video. When reach matters more than compact size, the Canon RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM extends much farther.
| Focal length | Natural use | What the framing provides |
|---|---|---|
| 24mm | Landscape, architecture, interiors | Shows the subject with its setting and gives spaces scale. |
| 35-50mm | Street, family, reportage | Keeps perspective familiar and framing versatile. |
| 70-85mm | Environmental portrait | Tightens the view without removing all context. |
| 105mm | Head-and-shoulders portrait, detail | Isolates a face, gesture or more distant element. |

Close focusing that is more useful than it first appears
At 24mm, autofocus reaches 0.20m and 0.21x; at 105mm it reaches 0.40x from 0.34m. Manual Center Focus Macro can increase magnification to 0.5x in the central area. This does not replace a true macro lens across the frame, but it is useful for a product detail, flower, meal or texture found while travelling. At minimum distance, check that the barrel does not shade the subject and keep the important area near the centre. For specialist macro work and more working distance, the Canon RF 100mm F2.8L Macro IS USM is the better tool.
Full frame or APS-C: two ways to use the same zoom
On a full-frame body such as the Canon EOS R8 or Canon EOS R6 Mark II, the lens remains a genuine 24-105mm all-round zoom. On an APS-C Canon EOS R7 or EOS R10, the field of view is roughly equivalent to 38-168mm. The true wide angle is lost, but the lens becomes useful for portraits, details and more distant subjects. Compatibility is straightforward across the RF mount; the real question is whether the intended framing suits the sensor size. Browse the Canon RF lens range to compare complementary focal lengths and apertures.

Our MCZ DIRECT verdict
At MCZ DIRECT, we see the Canon RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM as the logical choice for an EOS R photographer wanting to travel lightly with one zoom. It is better matched to landscapes, family, everyday photography and occasional portraits than indoor sport or dark event work.
Against the Canon RF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM, we recommend it when saving 305g and carrying a smaller lens matter more than a constant f/4 aperture, L-series construction and weather protection. The 24-240 is the stronger option when 105mm is regularly too short.
Its main limitation is straightforward: f/7.1 at the long end needs good light or a higher ISO setting. The EW-73D hood also needs to be purchased separately if required. With those compromises understood, the focal range, stabilisation, close-up ability and 395g weight make it a rational way to begin or lighten a Canon RF kit.

Canon RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM FAQ
Who is the Canon RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM for?
It suits EOS R photographers wanting a light zoom for travel, landscapes, family, everyday reportage and occasional portraits.
Is it compatible with every Canon EOS R camera?
Yes. The Canon RF mount works on full-frame and APS-C EOS R mirrorless cameras, with different framing according to sensor size.
What framing does it give on an APS-C camera?
On an EOS R7 or R10, the field of view is roughly equivalent to 38-168mm on full frame, reducing the wide view and increasing apparent reach.
What does the f/4-7.1 aperture mean?
Maximum aperture is f/4 at the wide end and gradually narrows while zooming, reaching f/7.1 near 105mm.
Is it suitable for low-light photography?
Stabilisation helps with static subjects, but f/7.1 at 105mm may require a higher ISO or slower shutter speed indoors.
How effective is the optical stabiliser?
Canon rates it at up to five stops under its test conditions. It reduces camera shake but cannot freeze a moving subject.
Is STM autofocus suitable for video?
Yes. STM supports progressive, discreet focus transitions for lightweight hybrid stills and video work.
Can the lens take close-up photographs?
Yes. It reaches 0.40x at 105mm in autofocus and up to 0.5x in the centre with manual Center Focus Macro.
How does it differ from the Canon RF 24-105mm F4 L?
The STM is 305g lighter. The F4 L keeps f/4 throughout the range and adds weather-resistant L-series construction.
How does it differ from the Canon RF 24-240mm?
The 24-240 reaches much farther but weighs more. The 24-105 STM gives priority to compact size and mobility.
Which filter size does it use?
The lens accepts 67mm screw-in filters, including polarisers, protective filters and neutral-density filters.
Is the Canon RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 weather sealed?
No. Canon does not describe it as dust- and moisture-resistant, so suitable protection is advisable in rain.
Do RF24-105mm and RF 24-105mm refer to the same lens?
Yes. Canon also writes RF24-105mm without a space. This page covers the F4-7.1 IS STM model, not the RF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM.
What is our verdict on the Canon RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 IS STM?
We recommend it to EOS R photographers prioritising a light all-round travel, landscape and everyday zoom. The RF 24-105mm F4 L is more suitable when a constant f/4 aperture and L-series protection matter most.
