For my use case, this is an outstanding lens. I only ever use wireless radio flash (430EX III-RT or 600EX-RT) with the ST-E10 atop my R7 and I achieve subject/background separation by underexposing 2 stops with the shutter. This allows me to use the sharpest range of apertures for this lens between f5.6 and f11 to get the very best details (I shoot in the shade typically, but if it's too bright, I'll screw on a variable ND to get the f-stop into range). I do NOT care at all for the look of a overly shallow depth of field. I sold my RF35mm 1.8 and RF50mm 1.8 because fast glass is overrated to me and this lens is just as sharp for how I take photos (I've also found 40-45mm on the R7 is the best distance for my dogs). Because I hold the flash with my left hand and the R7 in my right, light weight is VERY important me. I always shoot 1:1 so it doesn't matter how I orient my camera. If your needs are similar, buy this lens and never look back.
Great affordable lens, works perfectly for my needs.
Light and sharp But does the job for landscape portraits and groups
A very versatile, lightweight lens with a wide range of shooting capability. Very sharp lens.
I received this as a part of the RP kit, which I would recommend. The lens is a no brainer for travel or outdoor photography. It's so light and pairs very well on the lightweight RP. Sharpness is great throughout the range, and is superb from about 35mm to 105mm. Heavy distortion and vignette at 24mm, which is corrected by software or internally, which leads to smearing of the edges and corners (center remains great). But these issues quickly disappear when zooming to about 28mm.
This was a kit lens for me. I picked the canon brand for its reputation and reliability. Its a great focal length to start with and I plan to take it on vacation, parades and job rally. Its not for perfectionist photography bit it will get the job done with enough practice.
Knowing this is an entry level/ kit lens, it's very good. Mine is relatively sharp (I also have the f4 version, and an rf70-200f4, and my copy does decently vs those) throughout the range, and other than the slower aperture at the long end, it's a great all arounder that's got a decent range, good optics, and isn't expensive. Plus it close focuses well, has some macro features, and the IS is better than I expected for an inexpensive lens (this is mainly on an rp). It's a decent complimentary lens to a set of primes, also.
Great value. I've had the 24-105 stm for 3 months now. It always ends up in my backpack when I go on nature walks. I use it on a canon RP. I've only used it in the daytime. It feels light and compact for a full frame zoom lens.
While I have more than my share of L glass, there are times where the 28-70F2 is just a little big for casual carry. Really I was looking for something small for my R5 and this seems to be the answer for a walk around that doesn't attract too much attention. The image quality seems to be fine for the intended use and much lighter than the 24-105F2.8 when it arrives, ha ha. The only issue is some vignetting at 24mm when using a circular polarizer filter. Really would be much better with a 72mm filter ring.
I bought this as a lightweight (and inexpensive) travel lens. It is functional for that purpose, but doesn't bring me the joy that other Canon lenses do. I love the R5 body, and will likely be at some point be getting the equivalent L quality zoom. For travel I've actually been loving Canon's tiny “nifty fifty” rf 50 mm 1.8. Another inexpensive lightweight lens, but so small, easily carried, and very discreet. For context, my favorite lens I've gotten so far is the rf110 L macro. However, the L lenses are heavy and bulky for travel, so all in all, this 24-105 kit lens is likely to be the compromise of choice for many users. If you are just taking snapshots of your dogs, friends, or travel locations, you might very well love this lens. Just be forewarned that many of the cool things about the camera don't work with this lens (such as multiple exposure mode and in camera focus stacking). Also, though it claims to be “macro”, and does a decent job of focusing about a foot away from a subject, it's not useable for true macro photography.
