Hi Guys,

Quick question on the RF 24-105 F/4-7.1 IS STM lens. I purchased the R6m2 this week, with this lens as part of a kit. The camera needed a firmware update... easy enough, and done. The lens firmware is version 2.0.4. Canon has such an odd (poor?) layout with their website, even when you go to the specific product. Nothing new, I've been dealing with the quirks here for many years. I can't seem to find anything on where the latest firmware version for this lens is.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

2.0.4 seems to be the latest.

Yes, Canon needs to update their web site in terms of firmware. The only way I could get to the firmware to download (2.0.4 is the latest version, by the way) was to either pick older versions of macOS (back to High Sierra), or pick Windows 10.

There's no reason for Canon to force users to pick an operating system (and an older OS at that) for wanting to obtain firmware since that is something for use by the camera. It's not something that will be installed on a Mac or Windows PC.

I agree that it is hard to access firmware. It's not plain as day version xxx firmware is now available for the EOS R7 for instance. It shouldn't be hidden away because it causes confusion on what firmware is the most up to date version for that gear.

I understand what all of you are saying. I'm open to change if it happens.
