Folks,

I am very puzzled by the design of the RF 24-105.

My brand new RF 24-105 f4 has these two things:

1. A bit of a loose barrel close to the front

2. Rattling, wobbling and some moving of parts inside when you carry it or shake it

Mine has none of these features but since it is the 24-105 stm people will attack it for being lousy kit lens and that the L is much better.

I found this video and this is how it behaves in my case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RhsLPSSu_0

I have contacted Canon CPS and got an answer that my lens was tested and it behaves as designed. They say it is the design of this lens and it is normal.

So let's assess. Do all RF 24-105 owners have it? If yes, it is indeed normal.
