Bulgaria, Sofia, 02 November 2023 – Canon Europe today launches three groundbreaking RF lenses and two new Power Zoom Adapters, offering extensive possibilities for content creators of all levels, expanding their creative capabilities.

The ultimate hybrid lens with two optional Power Zoom Adapters

The RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z marks a significant advancement in lens technology – one that many photographers and videographers have been waiting for. This all-in-one lens replaces several lenses – combining features of studio, cinema, and standard RF lenses, creating a truly versatile lens concept. It is the first RF zoom lens to incorporate a dedicated iris/aperture control ring and servo drive via optional Power Zoom Adapters.

It is designed to meet the increased demand in the professional hybrid content creation community, which involves both stills and video. This feature-rich professional lens is suitable for news gathering, documentaries, corporate events, weddings, events, and social media content.

The RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z combines the convenience and focal range of the RF 24-105mm F4L IS USM lens with the creative brightness of the RF 24-70mm F2.8L IS USM – meaning you no longer have to choose between these two strengths when seeking the perfect shot. The lens also features an optical image stabilizer for up to 5.5 stops slower shutter speed for incomparable image quality (up to 8 stops when combined with the in-camera image stabilizer¹), ensuring exceptionally stable video recording handheld and high-quality images when shooting in dynamic situations, such as weddings or events. The smooth iris control ring (for video) offers precise exposure control – all combined with an 11-blade aperture for beautiful bokeh.

The new lens fills a gap in the market for hybrid lenses, offering professionals the quality they seek for capturing still and video content.

Key features of the RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z:

• Excellent image quality and weather sealing for added durability – along with sharp, high-contrast images thanks to four UD elements for correcting chromatic aberration
• Professional electronic parfocal focus and focus breathing suppression to maintain a constant field of view during video recording
• Zoom adjustment without changing the body length, making it easier to balance on a gimbal or drone, improving weather resistance, and providing smoother operation
• Smooth aperture control via a ring with 32 divisions between steps (clickless) and a lock release button for "Auto" position

The functionality of the RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z lens can be further expanded with the new Power Zoom Adapters, which provide greater flexibility for videographers. The Power Zoom Adapters allow for smooth zoom adjustment and remote control via the Canon Camera Connect app or EOS Utility.

The Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E2B features a 20-pin zoom/focus connector, allowing connection to compatible zoom/focus controllers in studio or large video production environments – and is even compatible with Canon's ZSG-C10 Power Zoom Grip.

Key features of the PZ-E2 and PZ-E2B Power Zoom Adapters:

• Ergonomic grip for comfortable use when mounted on the lens
• Option for external USB-C power for extended shooting and faster zoom operation 
• Buttons for smooth zoom control in both directions
• Selector for adjusting zoom speed
