The constant f/2.8 aperture allows for excellent performance in low-light conditions and provides greater control over depth of field, enabling you to achieve a blurred background (bokeh) even when shooting at wider focal lengths.
Yes, the lens is well-suited for video. It features fast, quiet Dual Nano USM autofocus with focus breathing suppression, and an optional Iris Ring for manual aperture control. The optional Power Zoom Adapter further enhances video capabilities with smooth zoom control.
'L' in Canon's lens nomenclature stands for 'Luxury' and denotes their premium professional-grade lenses, characterized by superior build quality, advanced optics, and weather sealing.
The lens features a 5.5-stop Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS). When combined with in-body image stabilization (IBIS) on compatible Canon R-series cameras, it can provide up to 8 stops of stabilization, significantly reducing blur from camera shake.
While the lens will physically mount on an APS-C Canon RF mount camera, it will operate in a crop mode, effectively reducing the resolution and field of view. The 24-105mm range will become approximately 38-168mm equivalent.
The closest focusing distance for this lens is 0.45 meters (approximately 1.48 feet), allowing for relatively close-up shots.
No, this specific lens model does not support Canon's teleconverters or extenders.
Use a soft lens brush or air blower to remove dust. For smudges, use a microfiber lens cloth with a small amount of lens cleaning solution applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens. Always handle with care to avoid scratches.
Ensure the lens is properly mounted on the camera. Check that the AF/MF switch on the lens (if applicable) is set to AF. Clean the electrical contacts on both the lens and the camera mount. Try using a different camera body if available.
Verify that the image stabilizer is turned on if shooting handheld. Use an appropriate shutter speed for the focal length and lighting conditions. Ensure the lens is clean and free from dust or smudges on the front element. Check that the focus mode is set correctly for your subject.
Remove and re-mount the lens, ensuring it clicks into place. Clean the electrical contacts on the lens mount and camera body. Check the camera's firmware is up to date. Consult your camera's manual for specific lens compatibility information.
Ensure the Iris Ring lock switch (if present) is not engaged. Check the camera's menu settings to ensure the Iris Ring is enabled for aperture control. If using the optional Power Zoom Adapter, ensure it is correctly attached and powered.
Compatibility: This lens is designed for Canon RF mount cameras with a full-frame image sensor.
Mounting: To attach the lens, align the red dot on the lens with the corresponding red dot on the camera's lens mount. Twist the lens clockwise until it locks into place with a click.
Lens Hood: Attach the included EW-88E lens hood by aligning the marks on the hood with the corresponding marks on the lens barrel and twisting it into position. The hood helps prevent lens flare and protects the front element.
Filter: The lens accepts standard 82mm screw-on filters.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the lens elements clean. Use a soft brush or air blower to remove dust. For smudges or fingerprints on the front element, use a lens cleaning cloth with a dedicated lens cleaning solution. Avoid touching the lens elements with your fingers. The lens is dustproof and weatherproof, but prolonged exposure to harsh conditions should be avoided. Always use the provided lens caps when the lens is not mounted on the camera.
Power Zoom Adapter (Optional): If using the PZ-E2 Power Zoom Adapter, follow its specific mounting and operation instructions.
