Wonderful lens, unfortunately not compatible with my camera body. Refund was given very quickly - with great thanks

This surprisingly sharp kit lens punches well above its aperture and pairs perfectly with the Canon EOS R...

Five stops of image stabilisation; Compact and lightweight; Customisable control ring

Expensive for a zoom lens; Minor barrelling and pincushioning; Very minor fringing

The Canon RF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM Lens is the best multi-purpose choice for the EOS R series cameras and the reasons encompass the entire package.

Canon mirrorless system owners have a few options when it comes to a standard zoom lens for an R series mirrorless camera. The RF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM ($1,099) is a midrange option, with a dimmer f-stop and shorter zoom range than the premium RF 24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM ($2,299) and RF 28-70mm F2 L USM, but notably better optics than the RF 24-105mm F4-7.1 L IS STM or RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM. Photos are sharp, even on high-resolution sensors, and while it's bigger than the F4-7.1 edition, it balances well on an R mirrorless body. If you want more range than the 24-70mm F2.8, or just want to spend a bit less, the 24-105mm F4 fits the bill.More Than a Kit Zoom The term "kit zoom" is almost a dirty word in photographic circles, despite manufacturers largely offering much better starter options for SLRs and mirrorless systems in recent years than they used to. The RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM is built, and priced, beyond even modern kit lens quality. It offers more zoom range than the Niko...

The Canon RF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM zooms a bit further than the 24-70mm F2.8, and while it gathers less light, it's a fine choice for photographers who prefer a bit extra zoom power.

4.4x zoom range; Crisp optics; Constant f/4 design; Excellent build; Optical stabilization; Dust and splash protection; Protective fluorine coating

Pricey; Heavy vignette; Shows some distortion

If we look at this just as a lens for a camera system then the cost is about right and the performance is excellent. So, for users of this system this is a very fine standard zoom and in fact pretty much the only choice at the moment. It absolutely delivers the goods.

The Apple iPhone 14 isn’t a huge upgrade on the iPhone 13, yet it still is a great phone with a top camera, good battery life and all the iOS benefits.

Clever safety features, Very good battery life, Reliable camera, Fun colours, You’ve got an ageing iPhone: If you’re on an iPhone 11 or older, then the changes here will make a notable difference.

Stuck on a 60Hz display, Minimal differences to the iPhone 13, You’ve got an iPhone 13: The changes from Apple’s previous phone aren’t enough to warrant an upgrade this year.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue
