Yes, the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens is a good all-rounder, but how does it fare under low light and astro conditions?
Simple layout and operationMuch like other lenses in Canon's mirrorless RF stable, this lens has a simple, uncluttered design. It's very light, relatively compact, and easy to navigate with your hands. It's worth noting that this is a telescopic zoom lens, which means the actual lens extends when you increase the focal length.
Elsewhere you have a switch close to the flange side of the barrel which flicks between autofocus and manual focus and you have the option to turn image stabilization on or off. This lens boasts up to 5-stops of image stabilization and we found it works fairly well which we'll discuss more in the performance section of the review.
We did test this lens at night and we struggled a little. Restricted to an aperture of f/4, it's harder to get pinpoints of stars. It gives decent landscapes with the 24mm focal width but it's difficult to gather enough light through the lens without shooting longer exposures . As an astro-specific lens it's restricted.
