With a very useful range of focal lengths for full frame format the new canon ef 24 105mm f 4 is ii usm lens looks to be the perfect specification for a standard zoom.
Canon 24 105 full frame review.
The canon rf 24 105mm f4 7 1 is stm is impressively small and light considering the versatile focal range that it covers weighing in at 395g and measuring 8 88cm in length although it does extend by an extra 5 7cm when the lens is set to 105mm.
Bottom line the canon 24 105mm f 4 l is a really excellent optic but one that struggles a bit along the edges and in the corners with full frame bodies.
As such it s an almost ideal candidate.
The 24 105mm stm is a great lens for a fraction of the price and much easier to carry all day.
It is usefully wide at 24mm.
It s the easiest to zoom has the most even zoom spacing between focal lengths has the best macro performance less distortion and is just as sharp.
And the 24 105 l lens hood is much smaller as can be seen in the picture below.
Measuring 83 5 mm in diameter and 107 3 mm in length at the 24mm setting the rf 24 105mm f 4 is relatively compact for a full frame zoom lens.
It also weighs 95 grams less at 700 g versus 795 g.
