  | sent on 23 Maggio 2025 Pros: Lightweight, compact, economical, decent build quality and sharpness (in the center) almost comparable to the equivalent L series (RF) that wins for brightness Cons: Opinion: An honest all-rounder KIT lens that, however, has a decent color rendition and good sharpness. Maybe it lacks a bit of contrast but, at this price, it can be forgiven. I use it as an all-rounder on the road like the many who favor practicality over extreme image quality. It is true that the low (very) light is its main defect, so I bought a tripod that helps a lot to bring home some shots with low light. Of course with 400 € you can find the old EF f4 L used but then you have to hang almost 300gr more weight around your neck.... it is a choice. On the other hand, the choice not to have the classic AF / MF switch that forces you to enter the camera menu is questionable. Autofocus as good as all the latest STMs from Canon. Rating 8.5 |
 | sent on 18 Febbraio 2025 Pros: Defined, lightweight, wide focal range. Also excellent at full opening. Good stabilization. Cons: Nothing Opinion: Canon has really put effort into the creation of this lens to find the best compromise between quality, price, weight, size and in this it has succeeded very well. It is the classic zoom to have in your camera backpack, to use when we are not very busy looking for the perfect shot and we are thinking more about enjoying the day, the place and / or the people who are with us. It is not a bright lens, it could not be for what it costs but it can also be used with low light by raising the ISO, at 12,800 the file is still usable. The EOS R System is a big step forward. You can find it used just over 300 euros, difficult to have so much at this price. |
 | sent on 13 Maggio 2024 Pros: Lightweight, stabilization, fully in line with the new canon cameras to contain noise; Entry level cost, macro (almost) true. Cons: Indoors only long times. Not bright at all. Extreme low-light shots. Ugly with that crow's neck on 105mm. He often struggles to find the fire. Opinion: This zoom is a small masterpiece for the price if we consider it for what it is: an entry level all-rounder that is often sold in kits. It must be said that it fits into a Canon system that, with stabilization and the ability to work at high iso, allows you to take home shots even in low light situations. I photographed in church cursing myself for not bringing a brighter lens. Shots with 105mm at 6400 iso and 7.1 aperture I saw them very badly. On the other hand, with lightroom Photoshop and a coat of topaz de noise, I got very decent results. In short, it is a lens with a very effective stabilizer, it costs little, it is light. On the other hand, the performance is not memorable. If you have to photograph indoors, you have to be careful to be ingenious and expect a lot of noise to be corrected. Outdoors, on the other hand, it's a whole different story, even if photographing details such as a flower swaying in the wind, the autofocus panics and you have to insist several times to catch it. I paid 320 euros for it. It seems to me that for the price it is worth a visit. The added value of this zoom is the minimum focusing distance: very few cm. With a ring flash, you get macro photos that are not possible with the rich twin of the L series. |

| sent on 18 Giugno 2023 Pros: Sharpness, price, weight Cons: Build quality (obviously it's not L-series), brightness Opinion: Obviously it is not the twin L series of which surely something envies but it is really an excellent economic alternative, the price is low but the lens is more than valid, if you have a high budget and are looking for a top lens this is not for you, the sharpness is not from L series but it is still good. The lens on presents lèggera. Quick and still accurate. It's a good lens kit. Too bad to be a bit dark, in my experiences she was still able to give me good shots. |
 | sent on 23 Marzo 2023 Pros: Lightness, focal range, sharpness (hobby), fast enough, stabilized Cons: Sharpness (work), darkness (apertures) Opinion: Taken to try it during my travels but after I took back the 17-40 f4 L I resold it, but only for obvious reasons of focal otherwise it would have remained with me given the cost, lightness, stabilization and sharpness that for the photos of my travels is more than fine; I remain of the idea that if I have to travel for fun and relaxation I do not want to weigh down the journey. Used once for work and NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT. For the reasons listed above, namely that it is dark, not very sharp and I do not trust a priori. |
 | sent on 24 Febbraio 2023 Pros: Small, economical, programmable bezel, focal range Cons: Image quality, brightness. Opinion: The worst lens I owned. Except only weight and dimensions. Create anonymous images that clip the wings of the ff of the r series turning them into compact dele in my opinion. The aperture that closes by zooming in also makes manual photography cumbersome, always having to correct the iso up to the stars indoors. With its price or a little more you can buy the old but much better from every point of view ef 24 105 L used. |
 | sent on 13 Ottobre 2022 Pros: Price in kit, lightness Cons: Distorted colors, brightness (very low) from super zoom Opinion: A decidedly mediocre lens, which makes sense only if purchased in kit and then paid just over 300 euros because it is very light to carry with you. The distorted colors and the images totally devoid of three-dimensionality do not do justice to the goodness of the R series cameras. Better, at this point, to provide the kit with a nice fifty all-rounder, which is exploited very well in the videos. |
 | sent on 08 Agosto 2022 Pros: Small and lightweight, but with excellent optical quality already from the maximum aperture, in a good compact construction, which also includes an aspherical lens. Up to 50 mm, bright enough for almost any use. Beyond it is still fine in most situations. 0.34 m to 105 mm, allow you to make excellent close-ups. Great lens to take pictures (less to do tests ...) and to have a really compact and inconspicuous FF, without compromising on quality. Cons: For the use for which it is intended, I would say none. I read that others complain about sharpness, but I have absolutely not found this defect. Perhaps, as the previous speaker pointed out, there will be less performing copies in circulation, since the construction is certainly not from the L series. Opinion: In order not to repeat what has already been written in the pros / cons, I only add a consideration on the maximum aperture at 105 mm. On paper f/7.1 it really looks like crap, but then on the field you realize that: 1) it is only 2/3 stop less bright than its poor brother EF; 2) For landscape photos it is not necessary to have a greater aperture, on the contrary; 3) For portraits, the difference in blurred compared to an f / 4 of the rich brother, is seen only in some situations and is not dramatic (if I want a beautiful blurred f / 4 is not enough anyway). If you want to make a significant leap in brightness (and therefore not to a modest f/ 4), just combine it with a small canvas (eg EF 100 f / 2, but also RF 85 1.8). In short, a modern lens, which does not chase the latest exotic fashions and that cares about the hard. N.B. I have had this lens for about a year and it remains my favorite choice for light travel with my EOS-R, as well as for mountain excursions, motorcycles or bicycles. The only alternative when I need even more lightness and agility, is the 50 F 1.8. |
  | sent on 21 Marzo 2022 Pros: Very comfortable, lightweight and compact, sharp enough to be a 24-105 Cons: none, to be a cheap 24-105 Opinion: I would like to say immediately to those who wrote the review before this one that, indeed, could have a copy that came out badly. This very small zoom is really surprising and can disappoint only those who expected performance from RF 24-70/2.8 which costs 6 times as much, I paid this copy 300 euros and, in my opinion, it is worth more than I paid for it. The sharpness is good already at TA (since TA means at least 4 up to 7.1), the colors are good and the optical quality in general also. But what makes this lens fabulous is the extreme comfort in terms of weight and size, you can take it anytime and anywhere, together with the RF16 and RF50 stm constitutes an excellent travel kit that will not massacre your back. The vote is 10 relative to the segment of interest where it is to be placed. With these non-L RFs Canon tries to repeat the excellent performance of many non-L EFs and I believe it will succeed. L-series RF optics are truly unattainable for many. |
 | sent on 17 Marzo 2022 Pros: only lightness Cons: all inclusive price for what it does. Opinion: Taken in kit on the second body R6. Possessing that L series inevitable was to make the comparison. I understand the difference in price, but from Canon I did not expect it to make a bad lens like that. I'm not talking about the brightness that you know at the beginning that at that price it can not be otherwise, but the sharpness especially at 24 and then at the edges is really bad, indeed the edges are a disaster. I took it as mentioned in the kit that the difference in price is quite a lot and finds the only justification of the purchase thinking only of keeping it as a forklift in the bag of a professional who in the event of breakage of the L series can save him a service. But nothing more! I do not understand why in the previous comments they put on the pros the sharpness, or they have only that and having no comparisons to them it seems good or mine is defective ..... |
  | sent on 25 Ottobre 2021 Pros: Cost, sharpness, lightness, macro quality, stabilizer Cons: Lack of af mf switch Opinion: I waited 1 year x review this lens, taken at 250 euros new, I was immediately impressed by the stabilizer, its 4 stops are all heard, the images it returns are sharp and contrasted, slightly tending to cold, the vignetting at 24mm to many from annoyance, just put the correction in the room and the problem is solved, the brightness is a compromise x have a light, stabilized and compact lens x ff. The real gem that perhaps many do not care about is its macro quality, 1:2 x an inexpensive zoom, which allows you to get closer to the subject up to a few cm is a lot of stuff, also having the 35 rf macro, this 24 105 is superior, you can focus in manual using the programmable ring, along with the focus peaking of the rp you focus easily with very close distances. Going around paired with the RP is unrivaled. Fully satisfied. I have several photos in the gallery, even macro ;-) |
 | sent on 19 Ottobre 2021 Pros: compactness, lightness, af, sharpness, construction Cons: vignetting, distortion, tele side diaphragm Opinion: let's start from the defects: the brightness is known a priori, and in any case the difference is not transcendental compared to the classic 5.6, 2/3 stop ... if for the use you intend to make of them are so essential it is clearly not the right optics, but in that case I would say that an f4 is better, where the difference is 1.67 stops. As far as I am concerned, the use I make of it is a battle, I have no pretensions and for now it has never been a problem; vignetting and distortion are there, slightly more marked than in the L series, compromise still acceptable (and easily coregible), especially if you are looking for the pros: record size and weight! The images you get are sharp, contrasted at the right point, I did not find optical defects such as flare, reflections etc. I was just looking for a compact and light all-rounder to take me on excursions, trips or quiet use, before this I used the EF 3.5-5.6, quite more voluminous and a little heavier. Combined with R6 and 5D respectively, the difference in size and weight becomes remarkable... and the quality of the shots? I would say very similar, in some things the EF is better (detachment of the planes, or in any case brightness), in others the RF is better (contrast, af, stabilization ...). The sharpness I would say is comparable, I have not had the opportunity to make "scientific" comparisons since it makes very little sense on such a perspective! The construction, even if it is cheap, is of quality: there are no games in the as in the EF, the rings are very precise and the problem of zoom creep is not even remotely present, a frequent problem in this type of zoom that is often remedied through a lock button, not always comfortable |
 | sent on 19 Ottobre 2021 Pros: Lightness, overall image quality, effective stabilization. Cons: Vignetting at the minimum focal length. Opinion: Traveling with this lens in combination with the Eos RP is a real pleasure as the whole is light, compact and versatile. The images are really good quality, engraving and not at all inferior to those obtained with the EF 24-105 F/4 L that I used previously. As usual, the hood is optional: I bought a third-party one paying it "well" 17 euros. The stabilization is absolutely effective: I managed to take photographs (of static objects) at 1/8 of a second at maximum focal length: not bad really. At 24 mm the vignetting is really noticeable but the electronic correction offered by the Canon DPP software is effective to solve the problem. The product, as far as I am concerned, is globally very valid and the construction has nothing to do with the plastic lenses ef type 18-55 0 18-135. |
 | sent on 29 Luglio 2021 Pros: Cheap Lightweight Sharp Af Fast Boken Cons: At night not usable - raw with vignetting lack of the AF MF button . RF optical footprint. Optional hood . Opinion: I took this lens to have in the Canon kit at least one RF lens, it is the only one at an economical price. I have tried this lens on 2 occasions and yes the sharpness there is to carry around is light . Shooting in jpg and raw the latter at 24-28mm presents a strong vignetting . To make Macro photos better use it with an extension tube and the results are really very good . I also like the blurry Boken he does in the portraits. Overall a good handyman.......... Maa..... second exit at night and unfortunately in the dark can not focus even in manual .... UNUSABLE . Tip : at the same price better take a Canon 24-105mm L first series or a Sigma 24-70 f2.8 the latter is also more stocky and with R6 more balanced ... ve well any handyman zoom but brighter. Beyond the price of rf lenses "a bit overpriced" they are also too bulky.... They should be more stocky....see size 50mm f1.2L with current 50mm RF . |
 | sent on 04 Marzo 2021 Pros: Lightweight and versatile Cons: 24mm vignetting Opinion: I recently bought this lens after confronting myself here in the forum. Of course, there are differing views, particularly on diaphragm values. I convinced myself for the cost (bought second hand at 230€) and also because very sharp. Tried both to make portraits, for landscape and so for play and I have to say that it is really a great goal, considering the cost. Fast, light, quiet, easy to handle and the customizable ring is great. I'm very glad I convinced myself to buy it. I have learned to manage the iso dela Rp and with this lens I can manage the high iris values. No problem. I recommend it for the low budget and photo quality. |
 | sent on 26 Dicembre 2020 Pros: I'm going to do it, compact, precise Cons: Sometimes remarkable distortion, vignetting on 24mm Opinion: I've been using it for months now. Because I'm a beginner, I'm still a little disappointed. I would almost call it an entry-level optics. Of course the older brother of the House Canon, L series, costs almost three times as much, and there will surely be a reason. As an advantage, however, it is practically 200 gr less than the other, which for those who have arms, like me is a nice advantage. Vignetting on 24 mm is annoying and distortion often needs to be corrected in Lightroom. Of course it's very comfortable, you have a lot of focal points without constantly changing your goal. But the difference in brightness from a fixed focal point is huge. There are so many pictures of me on the board below. What to say, I'm going to save a little bit to take the same zoom as the top series. |
