I bought a Canon RP body only and thought I would use my EF/EF-S lenses with a ring adapter. I have the same lens in EF mount (24-105L) and it gets heavy after a while. I've read reviews that this native RF lens was lighter and the image was sharp. I find the reviewers were correct. I wanted a lighter lens with good sharpness and this fulfilled it. All stores I shopped at were out or on backorder online and also locally. Refurbished Canon lenses at their site was available but it was a tad more expensive and without the hood or filter. I was looking at eBay and saw this lens at a reasonable price and with hood and filter included so I bought it. The lens is stellar and really mates well with my Canon RP. This will be my travel lens.

I just got this 24-105mm stm lens for my new Canon RP. I got the camera first and used an adapter with some nice and pricey lenses, L series and Sigma Art series to play around while I waited for the RF lens to get here. Honestly, the adapter worked perfectly. The other lenses (four of them) worked perfectly but still, something didn't feel quite right. I was in the middle of a Bomb Cyclone (really, I was) so I couldn't go out and take landscapes or birds or what have you. I was trapped in the house with the wind bashing at the walls and such. Hardly ideal conditions, I know, but that was what I had. I did get some good photos but there wasn't that ease of use and relaxed feel that you look for. Then this unit arrived. It's the STM model, not the expensive USM job so it's reasonably priced. Well, it's better than reasonably priced brand new. The other lenses that I had been using were much more pricey than this unit. It's funny, some excellent lenses don't cost much but they feel cheap and flimsy. Take for instance the 50mm 1.8 prime or the 10-18mm wide angle. They're both really good. They both take wonderful photos. They both feel and look cheap though. No so with this guy. It looks and feels solid and smooth. I got flawless performance and great ease of use. True, I was trapped in a house with shutters banging and rain falling and a 17 hour power outage in an emergency area. Still, as I suffered in silence, okay, I was silent because the phones were dead, but still, when I took a couple of shots in my living room, barely knowing how to use my new camera, it was like dancing with an old friend. The two shots attached are from that night. It's a keeper. If you're using a mirrorless with EF lenses and an adapter, consider this. You can easily sell your EF lenses for more than this will cost you and you'll get better performance out of it. Check it out. You'll thank me.Read full review

I purchased it as my go for lens when just poking around. Typically I shoot real estate where I use a Canon 17-40mm L lens for indoor and much of the outdoors surrounding the home as well. I have other long lenses from 70mm that will cover up to 800mm still in the 'L' variety. I needed something to fill that gap of about 40mm-70mm and thought this a good option. Since it is an ER lens, all the more reason to purchase it. In a prior Canon T5, it came with a 24-105mm EF which universally did rather well for what it was. So my thought for those times I just want to take a shot as a carry camera and perhaps want to do a bit of close-up like macros, I could use this one to do the job. Yup, it is not a Canon 'L' lens, but for this fill-in, it should work fine. This one came at a good price.

Perfect lens for a beginner. (Which is probably why it's the kit lens.) The quality is sharp, and it has decent image stabilization. I read a lot of reviews that recommended the USM version over this one. And for a professional, I would too. But for a beginner who doesn't have a lot of money to throw around, the quality for the price can't be beat!

Best budget RF zoom for outdoor shooting. Macro capabilities allows for nice background blur when wide open and zoomed in even! No option for switching from auto to manual focus is really annoying though. If you have the money go for the more expensive 24-105mm 4 L glass.
