Canon has recently introduced a new series of lenses designed for both stills and video. Its RF 24-105mm F2.8 L IS Z is the first lens in its new Z series, with the option to mount an external motor for smooth and controlled zoom movement. One version of the motor can be remotely controlled. The relatively long zoom range combined with the large aperture is an asset for photojournalists who need to be constantly prepared to take a picture at decisive moments. The zoom ring moves easily and smoothly, which facilitates controlled zoom movements, but is also an asset for sports photographers who need to quickly change the focal length. The lens also delivers the excellent image and build quality expected of Canon’s legendary L series.
