The Canon EF24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM delivers a high level of image quality approaching that offered by the EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM (released in September 2005), an L (luxury)-series standard-zoom lens that targets professional users seeking the highest levels of performance. In addition to offering the same angle of view as the L-series lens, the competitively priced EF24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, at approximately 525 g, weighs almost 20% lighter, enabling users to agilely capture high-quality images and movies when paired with such full-frame digital SLR cameras as the lightweight, compact Canon EOS 6D (released in November 2012).
