Product Details Brand Canon EAN 0013803050844 Manufacturer Canon Maximum Focal Length 105 millimeters Minimum Focal Length 24 millimeters Model 0344B006 Release Date November 01, 2005 UPC 013803050844 Availability Usually ships in 1-2 business days Features 24-105mm standard zoom lens with f/4 maximum aperture for Canon EOS SLR cameras 1 Super UD glass element and 3 aspherical lenses minimize chromatic aberration and distortion Ring-type USM system delivers silent but quick autofocus (AF); full-time manual focus Image Stabilizer technology steadies camera shake at up to 3 stops; weighs 23.6 ounces Dust- and moisture-resistant; measures 3.3 inches in diameter and 4.2 inches long; 1-year warranty Product Description This easy-to-use standard zoom lens can cover a large zoom area ranging from 24mm wide-angle to 105mm portrait-length telephoto, and its Image Stabilizer Technology steadies camera shake up to three stops. Constructed with one Super-UD glass element and three aspherical lenses, this lens minimizes chromatic aberration and distortion. The result is excellent picture quality, even at wide apertures. Canon's ring-type USM gives silent but quick AF, along with full-time manual focus. Moreover, with dust- and moisture-resistant construction, this is a durable yet sophisticated lens that meets the demands of advanced amateur photographers and professional photographers alike. Dust and moisture resistant and incorporating Canon's very finest standards of precision optics, the EF 24-105mm f4L IS USM is designed for reportage, event, travel, and celebrity photographers looking for a lightweight and maneuverable lens with minimal image quality compromise. Complementing the EF 17-40mm f4L USM and EF 70-200mm f4L USM, the lens completes Canon's f4L-series zoom lens range. These lenses are designed for professional photographers requiring a light zoom lens with a fixed aperture throughout the zoom range. For outstanding camera-shake reduction, Image Stabilizer allows shutter speeds of 3 stops slower than would otherwise be possible, with no perceptible increase in image blur. The L-series is Canon's flagship professional lens range, designed to include outstanding image performance, ultimate operability, and weather resistance. The EF 24-105mm f4L IS USM offers a lightweight alternative to the renowned EF 24-70mm f2.8L USM. Image Stabilizer Image Stabilizer (IS) dramatically reduces image blur caused by camera shake. Gyro sensors detect unwanted vibrations, triggering the corresponding movement of a correcting lens group perpendicular to the optical axis. This alters the light path, returning the image to its correct position on the sensor or film plane. The 3-stop advantage means that photographers normally shooting a 105mm lens handheld at 1/125 second can obtain a shake free result with a shutter speed as low as 1/15 second, for vastly extended options in low light conditions. Superb autofocus The ring-type USM motor found in the EF 24-105mm f4L IS USM employs ultra-sonic frequency vibrations to drive autofocus with unrivalled speed and near-silent operation. A powerful CPU and improved AF algorithm contribute to speed performance. Good holding torque stops the lens with precision and accuracy, the instant it arrives at the correct focus point and without overshoot. Photographers can choose manual focus instantly and at any time simply by moving the manual focus ring without first having to switch out of autofocus mode. Constant f4 aperture from 24 to 105mm The EF 24-105mm f4L IS USM offers the highest possible optical quality with no change in aperture over the full focal range of the lens. This allows photographers to set exposure at the widest aperture and zoom all the way through to 105mm without having to vary the shutter speed. It is the perfect lens for professional photographers looking for a lightweight and extended zoom alternative to its EF 24-70mm f2.8L USM counterpart. The lens employs an almost perfectly circular barrel aperture, helping create attractive, defocused backgrounds. Image quality To limit lens size and improve image clarity over the total image area, an Ultra-Low Dispersion glass (UD) element is used to eliminate the secondary chromatic aberrations that otherwise reduce sharpness and introduce color fringing. Aspherical lens elements correct spherical aberration for crisp, high-contrast, corner-to-corner quality. By optimizing Super Spectra lens coatings and lens element shaping, Canon's engineers have been effective in suppressing flare and ghosting--more prone to occur with digital cameras due to reflection off the image sensor. By increasing light absorption, coatings reduce reflections off lens element surfaces to deliver crisp, undistorted images with natural color balance. EOS system integration The EF 24-105mm f4L IS USM includes distance metering information, providing compatibility with the E-TTL II flash system of late-model cameras such as the EOS-1D Mark II N and EOS 5D. When used in conjunction with Canon's range of EX Speedlite flash units, the lens passes distance information to the flash algorithm for markedly improved flash exposure metering. To match the weather resistance afforded by EOS-1 professional camera bodies, an O-ring seals the lens against the lens mount and numerous seals around the lens' moving components provide protection against the ingress of dust and moisture. AF Mode and IS switches have been reshaped, making them less susceptible to being engaged or disengaged accidentally. The EF 24-105mm f4L IS USM comes with a bayonet mount lens hood EW-83H and soft lens pouch LP1219. In keeping with Canon's Kyosei philosophy of living in harmony with the environment, the lens features only lead-free glass.

In order of preference, here are the top 5 things that I love about this lens: - sharp images - very versatile range of focal lengths - image stabilization - constant f/4.0 aperture - L lens build quality Because of the quality glass that Canon puts into its L lens series, this lens takes some tack-sharp photos. The range of focal lengths is excellent for portraits, stills, some landscapes ... Read More Rating - Great Lens This is a great lens. My first L lens and I am sold. Great clairity. Now my standard lens. Rating - Nice lens Awesome lens, delivered on time and in good condition. My only complaint is that the canon box is not sealed; so, anyone could handle it before it arrives. I would like it even more if it was faster (2.8);but, it would surely be out of sight pricewise in that case. Rating - Canon L series IS lens This lens bought for general use including many meetings. Am able to work entirely without flash, even in darkened rooms during PowerPoint presentations. Superb --- allows extremely low shutter speeds. Rating - Not sure it is worth the extra money This is my first L lens and I upgraded from 28-135mm USM IS lens on my EOS 20D. While the pictures are sharp, I am seeing color differences bet. the old 28-135 and this lens and I am not sure I like this one better! The color/tint seems to be flatter. Only thing I definitely see the improvement is the f/4 at 105 too which I couldn't get. see more reviews See More Canon products
