Love my 24-105 lens! Even at F4 the bokeh is still creamy and since I use an FX3 F4 isn’t a problem since I can crank it to 12,800 ISO and be fine in low light situations.

I have the Canon RF 24-105L IS. I have come to love this lens. I also have the 28-70 as a photo lens, but nothing beats the versatility of the 24-105. If I were honest I'd say that the f/4 aperture was the thing that gave me pause using the lens. But as I have gained more experience, I realize that the Canon L series 24-105 lens is very sharp and is about as close to the perfect walkaround lens in the Canon lineup.

I had the 24-105 EF 10yrs ago on my 6D and it produced amazing images that i have framed in my house. I have been shooting with the 24-70 2.8 rf for the last couple of yrs on my RF cameras and I still wonder if i should have saved $1k and just went with the 24-105. On a side note i have the 70-200 f4 rf and i cant recommend it enough. Super light and just stays in my bag all the time. Totally worth it.

thanks for your interesting point of view. I got the Canon RF 24-105L IS as a kit lens with my R6II. I just watched your video for some kind of validation and comforting. It is practical for exterior shooting, where you can reframe with ease and it is stable. I'd like a faster lens though, and there is the lack of choice from canon: the small prime lenses are cheap and seem nice and do some macro, but they have a slow autofocus for video. And the pro prime lenses are big and heavy, expensive, but they are faster and have a responsive AF. And the faster zoom lenses are really front heavy, expensive and cumbersome, though good quality. SO there is no perfect lens for my purpose (gimbal work with moving subjects dancing).
@ChristopherGoetting
Жыл бұрын
The lovely thing about the R6II (or other modern fullframes) is that you can shoot f/4 in a dim room at ISO 12800 and not even notice the ISO is that high unless you look at the info view. If you do care about the bit of grain thats there, just bump the correction slider to 5 or 10 and call it a day. The f/2.8 isnt going to get you much more out of focus in the background, so if that's really what you want you need a prime (or the 28-70 f/2) anyhow. I love my 24-105, but did just pick up the 24mm f/1.8 for a lightweight walkaround alternative (or for gimbal, since I pretty much exclusively shoot with that at 24mm anyhow, and a 50mm if I want something else).

I've been using an A7iii with a Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 for B-Roll footage at work. I'm old and boring and shoot mostly sports, so I still use a nice camcorder, not sexy but gets the job done. Finally pulled the trigger on an A7iii for myself and bought the F4 24-105 G OSS along with it... I wanted a long focal length but 70-200 seemed like overkill. Also I got a good deal on a barely used one. It was a big purchase and I was honestly regretting not going with the 24-70 off the bat. BUT the more I use it, the more I love it. Eventually I'll buy the 24-70 because I will need better low light shots when Soccer season starts up for me. I will say for people totally brand new to mirrorless, I wouldn't get this lens. Yes I love it, just wish it wasn't the only lens I have.

On the one hand I think the 24-105, but if I want to photograph an animal a little further away, I don't have enough zoom, but on the other hand I read that the 24-240 gives somewhat blurrier corners and has to be cropped in lightroom. due to vignette at 24mm. I need help choosing.

Subscribed. I just moved to the mirrorless world (R6 II to be precise) and while initially wanted to keep my EF lenses, decided not to and move to the RF glass world. I will be going to Greece in about a month, and want to minimize the number of lenses to bring (just 2). I am definitely bringing my RF 14-35mm F4, so the decision is which second (and my "on-camera") should I bring: My RF 24-105mm F4? Or should I bring my RF 24-70mm F4? Given I am on a vacation trip, I think having the extra focal length would be beneficial vs having a wider aperture. Thoughts? Your video is convincing me more to bring the 24-105 F4 given the extra focal length and size/weight.

Not only the aperture, check also the sharpeness, that makes a huge difference, but be aware of how much noise your camera have on low light. I have an APC-C camera and anything more than f3.5 in low light means a lot of noise and a lot of work in post processing. Today I use two lens, a 50mm f1.8 and a 100mm f2 due to low light situations and to be honest, I don't mind to be moving around taking the photos and as a beginner, I also feel that I learn a lot doing that. For you, I'd go with the 35mm f1.8, but also having a 50mm would be great.
