The EF 24-105mm f4L IS II USM is the finest full-frame standard zoom Canon has made covering this extensive focal range. Ideal for times when you’d like one lens to do it all, it improves on its predecessor by being sharper in the corners and comes equipped with a more effective optical image stabiliser that provides 4 stops of correction. Those who shoot video will appreciate its electronic aperture diaphragm system that ensures smooth aperture adjustment and it accepts filters and adapters via a common 77mm thread. Canon’s EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is sharper, however it’s not optically stabilised and doesn’t provide the same reach at the long end.

The details
EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM is a standard zoom lens that goes just that little bit further, whether you’re shooting photography or video.
For high-quality images that impress
Specialised lens elements help you to enjoy high image quality right across the zoom range, by minimizing visible distortion. The integrated advanced Air Sphere Coating helps to guard against flare and ghosting when shooting in environments with unpredictable natural light.
Extended zoom range with constant maximum aperture
Swap quickly between wide-angle, standard and short-telephoto focal lengths while maintaining an f/4 maximum aperture.
Stay sharp even in low light
Image Stabiliser combats the blurring effects of camera shake, so you can shoot up to 4 stops slower than normal.
Be versatile with video
The EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM is just as useful for video as it is for still photography, offering focal lengths in a compact package that are ideal for a variety of subjects. Advanced autofocus allows for smooth, professional-looking, near-silent focus transitions and continuous focus tracking, with full-time manual override.
When the going gets tough, keep shooting
EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM features the new exterior L- series lens design. This robust construction is built to withstand the rigours of professional use, with enhanced resistance to shock and vibration.
Optical System
EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM features a revised optical design compared to its predecessor, for improved resolution and edge-to-edge sharpness throughout the zoom range.
Image stabilisation Improved
A newly designed image stabiliser unit, gives the equivalent effect of a shutter speed 4 stops faster, compared to the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM’s 2.5 stops.
