Clearly, Canon has identified a gap in the market somewhere between stills photography and cinema-camera filmmaking where a lens like this makes sense. But how much of this lens’s wild specifications, size and price are really just to prove what Canon can do?
So let’s look at the reasoning. Everyone likes a 24-70mm f/2.8 standard zoom but wishes it could be longer. Everyone likes a 24-104mm f/4 zoom but wishes it could be faster. So the Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8L IS USM Z sounds like a dream come true.
