Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM MACRO

The budget kit zoom for lighter RF bodies like the EOS RP and R8 — silent STM autofocus, useful stabilisation, and a manual-focus macro mode that reaches 0.5x magnification, well beyond a typical standard zoom. The trade-off is a slow f/7.1 at the long end, which limits low-light use and background separation compared to a constant-aperture lens.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
