Love this lens with my R100 have taken man y treat photos with it so far

Great everyday lense

Just received lens good all-around travel lens, in low lite conditions you need to change some setting to get a good Pic. I am new to photography. I have had point and shoot for 40years.The R50 has been a pleasure took 1100 pics at yellow stone and grand Tetons. I didn't have this lens on my trip wish i did.

Nice lens for travel. Good price.

It's an ok lens that came with my camera. Only using it because I can't afford a L series lens.  The L series seems to provide a bit better performance.

It's an ok average all around lens

Great affordable lens, works perfectly for my needs.

Great lens

I'm not a professional. Thus I was looking for the lens which does good job and is not large and heavy. I'm sure 24-105 RF L lens is better. However it is heavy.

Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM Lens - non professional review

I bought this as a lightweight (and inexpensive) travel lens.  It is functional for that purpose, but doesn't bring me the joy that other Canon lenses do.  I love the R5 body, and will likely be at some point be getting the equivalent L quality zoom.  For travel I've actually been loving Canon's tiny "nifty fifty" rf 50 mm 1.8.  Another inexpensive lightweight lens, but so small, easily carried, and very discreet.  For context, my favorite lens I've gotten so far is the rf110 L macro.  However, the L lenses are heavy and bulky for travel, so all in all, this 24-105 kit lens is likely to be the compromise of choice for many users.  If you are just taking snapshots of your dogs, friends, or travel locations, you might very well love this lens.  Just be forewarned that many of the cool things about the camera don't work with this lens (such as multiple exposure mode and in camera focus stacking).  Also, though it claims to be "macro", and does a decent job of focusing about a foot away from a subject, it's not useable for true macro photography.

Okay kit kens

For my use case, this is an outstanding lens.  I only ever use wireless radio flash (430EX III-RT or 600EX-RT) with the ST-E10 atop my R7 and I achieve subject/background separation by underexposing 2 stops with the shutter.  This allows me to use the sharpest range of apertures for this lens between f5.6 and f11 to get the very best details (I shoot in the shade typically, but if it's too bright, I'll screw on a variable ND to get the f-stop into range). I do NOT care at all for the look of a overly shallow depth of field.  I sold my RF35mm 1.8 and RF50mm 1.8 because fast glass is overrated to me and this lens is just as sharp for how I take photos (I've also found 40-45mm on the R7 is the best distance for my dogs).  Because I hold the flash with my left hand and the R7 in my right, light weight is VERY important me. I always shoot 1:1 so it doesn't matter how I orient my camera.  If your needs are similar, buy this lens and never look back.

An Outstanding Lens!

This was a kit lens for me. I picked the canon brand for its reputation and reliability.  Its a great focal length to start with and I plan to take it on vacation, parades and job rally. Its not for perfectionist photography bit it will get the job done with enough practice.

FORM MEETS FUNCTION

Great value. I've had the 24-105 stm for 3 months now. It always ends up in my backpack when I go on nature walks. I use it on a canon RP. I've only used it in the daytime. It feels light and compact for a full frame zoom lens.

Light and compact

Light and sharp But does the job for landscape portraits and groups

Best starter lens

Knowing this is an entry level/ kit lens, it's very good. Mine is relatively sharp (I also have the f4 version, and an rf70-200f4, and my copy does decently vs those) throughout the range, and other than the slower aperture at the long end, it's a great all arounder that's got a decent range, good optics, and isn't expensive. 

Plus it close focuses well, has some macro features, and the IS is better than I expected for an inexpensive lens (this is mainly on an rp). It's a decent complimentary lens to a set of primes, also.

Very good entry level lens

Love this lens. Takes great landscape and portraits.

RF  Lens for Life

A very versatile, lightweight lens with a wide range of shooting capability. Very sharp lens.

Great lens!

I bought this with the R6. It's not an awful lens but doesn't have any wow to it like a prime lens does. I prefer the 50mm so much more. I honestly should have used this money towards the 85mm.

Basic Kit Lens

I received this as a part of the RP kit, which I would recommend.  The lens is a no brainer for travel or outdoor photography.  It's so light and pairs very well on the lightweight RP.  Sharpness is great throughout the range, and is superb from about 35mm to 105mm.  Heavy distortion and vignette at 24mm, which is corrected by software or internally, which leads to smearing of the edges and corners (center remains great.  But these issues quickly disappear when zooming to about 28mm.

Wonderful sharpness and range; lightweight, stabilization works great

An amazing value for a like new lens!
I do have to say that I messed up and order the wrong lens as well, but returning it was just a click of the mouse.
Great customer service!

Excellent Value

Pros:

-Lightweight and compact.  Makes a significant difference vs 24-240 or 24-105L.  
-Pretty sharp.  Only real weak spot is the corners at 24mm after automatic distortion correction.  But they aren't terrible, just not as good as rest of range. 
-Fast focus
-Great stabilization
-does nearly 1:2 macro at both ends, so great for closeups on flowers and larger bugs, or details while out walking.  Although the macro at the wide end can only be used when lens is set to manual focus for some reason.  
-Great price in a kit.  

Cons:

-It's gotta be the slowest aperture zoom Canon has ever made.   Still great for outdoor use, travel, video, or with flash.  Given it is used on a FF sensor, it's still better than a 3.5-5.6 kit lens on APS-C.   
-High distortion and vignetting at 24mm.  It will be autocorrected in JPEG or using a RAW processor, with a lens profile, but the correction does soften the corners a bit.  I recommend stopping down to f8-11 for sharp 24mm corners as a result.  
-Maybe a little overpriced at full retail, but it's still MUCH cheaper than any RF mount alternatives.  

As an affordable and compact pair, it goes really well  with the 35mm f1.8, which covers you for low light and DOF control.
