Canon 24-105 F4 difference between f 2.8 is One ( 1 )stop difference But price difference is 3 three stops 😂😅

@TheFilmCouple_ 2 месяца назад

I'm selling my 24-105L f4, and buying the 28-70 2.0. The f4 is so bad in low light I can't get the quality I need. It's a very good value RF lens however, and quality is excellent in good light.

@iamdantephotography5565 2 месяца назад

You wouldn’t think f4 to 2.8 would be that bad until you’re shooting at 10,000 ISO when you could be at 5,000 ISO. Then you realize that at f2 you would be at 2,000 ISO 😂.

@stew_redman 4 месяца назад

I have both of these lenses. For Portraits, for me, the 28-70 f2 is the most versatile lens ever made. It's my most-used lens for studio work. The 24-105 is now pretty much glued to my R5 for outdoor shoots. These two lenses replace 4-5 prime lenses for me.

@kernzilla 4 месяца назад

how do you like the balance/length of the 24-105 for on-the-go outdoor shoots? looks pretty ergonomic, but always hard to tell until you spend some time with it.

@stew_redman 4 месяца назад

@@kernzilla I hang my camera from a Peak Design Slide strap with a Falcom F38 shoulder strap, so the lens hangs down just behind my hip when I'm not shooting. Easy to bring up and shoot in an instant. I would hate to use a standard strap with a heavy/long lens. The lens is not top heavy at all, if you know how to handle it.

Such a great review! Many thanks! I have both, and I am not sure that the 2.8 zoom is much more difficult to work than 2.0 - for me, 2.0 zoom large diameter is making it difficult to hold in hand. On the other side, 2.8 zoom is absolutely too long and that is a problem since you have to hold your hand much more out from the body. I like 2.8 more due to better microcontrast.

@tom_k_d 4 месяца назад

Thanks a lot James, for putting all the work in these comparisons. I was surpirsed to see such intese colour differences between the two lenes, so I uploaded some raw sample images from the previous video (THANKS for uploading these, I recently got an R5 after comparing some of your RAWs: these were a big help with decision making). My impression is that, apart from the slightest magenta tint (which is easy to correct), the 24-105 shows much better colour separation and intensity than the 28-70. Sharpness wise, it's no slouch, but certainly not a prime lens killer, either, at 45mm - especially on the R5's 45MP. At 105mm, your sample pic looks tack sharp, though. Colours are excellent with this lens - another sign it seems to have been designed with mainly video applications in mind?

@JamesReader 4 месяца назад

Thank you Tom! Glad to hear the RAWs helped. It really is a great lens, if you can look past the heavy corrections and weight it really has no down sides. I’m hoping to put a video together using the lens for video as I think, especially for full frame users, this is a dream lens for video.

@WavyFBaby Месяц назад

I’m debating if I should get this lens or the new rf 24-105 f2.8. I’ll be using it for portraits and hopefully weddings. But I’m worried about the f2.8 vs the f2.0. Will that be a noticeable difference? Also, which lens did you end up choosing? Thank you.

@claysouzaofficial Месяц назад

Thank you for such a good review. I traded my 28-70 for the 24-105 f/2.8. As a wedding photographer, I was missing the extra 4mm, especially when doing bridal party group shots indoors. Also didn't like the weight. I didn't think the 2.0 X 2.8 tradeoff was worth it. I haven't used the 24-105 f/2.8 in a wedding yet but I believe it will be very versatile during ceremonies. Cheers.

@RWAquariumPages 4 месяца назад

great video and great comparison. I was considering a standard zoom in this range and these were my 2 choices. I did notice quite a bit of colour difference of the photos between the two lens? I'm guessing it's because it's SOOC or was it edited that way (probably not) love the final thoughts, it has me leaning more towards the 28-70 f2 for my style of shooting

@JamesReader 4 месяца назад

Both SOOC colours. The 24-105 was quite a bit warmer consistently. Easily corrected but I just left both at daylight kelvin in Lightroom to be fair as possible. It’s a hard choice, probably the two best standard zooms on the market!

@RWAquariumPages 4 месяца назад

i was also considering the 24-105/f but the f4 won't cut it for me, or so i think, in your video, you showed and mentioned f2 vs f2.8 at various lengths, although subtle, it's a big difference for me, i'm loving the f2@@JamesReader

@shonen84 3 месяца назад

I love my 28-70. Just like you mentioned, the lens has a certain “look” and “character” to its photos. It’s glued to my R5. It’s even great for traveling, it seems like overkill but the street photography images are simply lovely. One use the 24-105 f2.8 would be better for me, is for events. The extra reach in lecture halls and extra width for group shots where space is limited can make a big difference in those circumstances. Thanks for the great video!

@DanielFazzari 4 месяца назад

Nice follow-up video, James! My comparisons between these two lenses were pretty much the same. I shared the same dilemma of which lens should I keep. If the 24-105 had a bunch of compromises, I would have kept the 28-70. But since it doesn't, I couldn't quite justify owning both of these, and I ended up selling my 28-70. I'm not doing too many portraits anymore, so the 24-105 does everything I need. However, if I do end up doing any portraits, that 85mm and especially 105mm at 2.8 can definitely make for some great portraits! *Edit: thought I was subscribed to your channel, but apparently wasn't, so I subscribed 😊

@martinekwall4671 4 месяца назад

Nice shots!! I think either lens requires a certain attitude, that quality is paramount and everything else comes second-hand. Hard to choose really which I would choose for a portrait shoot... Both deliver stunning renderings. I rented an RF 70-200 2.8L IS for an event shoot, I experienced it heavy after a while about the same weight or maybe a bit less as these lenses. My impression - If video is of importance then 24-105 is a great choice. Just for portrait then 28-70 I think is best, most faces looks better at 70mm than 85mm or longer.

@justesmond 4 месяца назад

@@JamesReader The length of the 24-105 f/2.8 has always been the sticking point for me. It just looks unwieldy with so much weight distributed to the front of the lens. Since I’m not in situation where I “need” the lens I feel like I can be picky for something that I know will annoy me. Your review helped me confirm my thoughts. I will still likely rent it out to see for myself, but I’m thinking that I won’t buy the f/2.8 version. The 24-105 f/4 is the perfect travel lens. Light, sharp and capable. Not sure I want to give them up for an unwieldy beast of a lens.

@wolfgangwhyte5571 4 месяца назад

I've had the 28-70mm f2 for around a year now, and it's absolutely my #1 go-to lens for my Canon bodies. If you're still iffy on the 28-105mm, but you want a longer focal length than the 28-70, why not try out the RF 135mm f1.8? Bought it when it released, and it might be the solution you're looking for. And if you really want to telescope-in, pair it on an R7 for 216mm @ f1.8...

@cartertowner 4 месяца назад

I was trying to make the same decision as well. The 24-105 2.8 sounded so versatile and would probably be awesome for video, but the 28-70 F2 is so highly reviewed. The 24-105 isn't immediately available where I am, and wont be until March for most camera stores, so that played into my consideration. Saw the 28-70 refurbished from canon for $2,200 and it felt like a deal I couldn't pass up. It comes tomorrow and I'm excited to put it to use

Mine is like having f2 primes at the marked focal lengths and everywhere in between. I really prefer the more traditional 85-135mm range for portraits though so the 2.8 lens is a winner for at least getting into that range.

@thesawwing 4 месяца назад

Sold the 28-70mm due to this. Once you see it you can’t unsee it. Christopher Frost talked about it as well.

@AbcDino843 Месяц назад

Some of those 28-70 f2 shots looked slightly out of focus, so I can't really judge the difference in sharpness.

Great video, James. Thank you for the comparison. I want to ask you a question. Which lens is best for full body portraits, Canon RF 50mm F/1.8 STM or Canon RF 28-70mm F/2 L USM ? Thanks in advance.

@JamesReader 3 месяца назад

Thank you! Both are great but the 28-70 is more versatile for full body. Personally I find 28-40mm a little more useful for full body shots over a fixed 50mm lens.

@mubarizahmadov7843 3 месяца назад

I want to correct my question. Which photo will be better, Canon RF 50mm F/1.8 STM or 50mm on Canon RF 28-70mm F/2 L USM ?

@jameskirk7805 27 дней назад

I've had the 28-70mm now for a year and love the look, but it's heavy and no IS, I do both wedding video and photos, if I just did photos I wouldn't be tempted but for video I miss the IS and reach of my 24-105 f4. I've been waiting for canon to give in to third party and then tramron can release the 35-150mm f2-2.8 but we have been waiting a while now with little hope. This new lens looks like a dream for video but it cost so much, I got my 28-70m for 700 less then this. Might have to wait for it to show up used in a year's time.

Is the color difference from the lens?

@JamesReader 4 месяца назад

That's right

@falxonPSN 4 месяца назад

For some reason, that 28-70 just doesn't look sharp anywhere in your first set of shots of the model on the chair. I expect a shallower DOF, but (assuming it's focusing on her eye) nothing is really tack sharp on the 28-70. Is it possible there was some sort of issue with that lens? I get that YT compression ruins everything, but there should be excellent center sharpness on the 28-70 based on other shots I have seen from it. I'm just feeling rather confused.

@JamesReader 4 месяца назад

Could be YT compression as it’s a very sharp lens. The only flaw in my copy was at 70mm, and even then it’s only next to the 24-105 that it looks “softer”. But in reality without that comparison I would never have complained. In fact 70mm on the 28-70 produced my favourite shots of the day.

@adventure9606 3 месяца назад

If he had put the 28-70 at 2.8 you would have seen a difference in sharpness and he states that toward the end of the video.

@stkuj 4 месяца назад

The 24-105 is so much more versatile. That said, it's really big and heavy. I would use the 24-105 more for video (there also looks like it's a bit more pink too).

sticking to my beloved RF 85 1.2 and EF 35 1.4 II combo for everything I do, patiently waiting for that new RF 35 1.2 to upgrade but for now this works for me amazingly, great review covering pretty much everything I wanted to know, but I'm more of a prime guy, keep up the great work!

Hand-holding any camera, with no strap, tripod or studio stand, for four hours is going to be exhausting, plus the very real risk of dropping the camera. I have an old Linhof Minimatic Studio Stand, hard to find now.

@marcelrothmund2447 4 месяца назад

Hi James, many thanks for this video - most interesting. However, I can absolutely not confirm, that my copy of the RF28-70mm would be visibly worse at 70mm than at eg. 50mm (100% Crop). Maybe you should test another copy for yourself. Best regards!

@JamesReader 4 месяца назад

Thank you Marcel! I'll definitely try to get my hands on another copy

@joeyward2662 4 месяца назад

I can't pay full attention these days because I have a two year old distracting me... Can someone tell me, were the corrections mentioned in camera corrections or corrections in post like photoshop or other software?

@JamesReader 4 месяца назад

These were the Lightroom profile corrections I showed when discussion corrections. The images are already well corrected SOOC in the jpegs for example. Hope that helps.

@kernzilla 4 месяца назад

wild seeing such a prominent color shift between these two lenses. it's so drastic, it makes me wonder if there was a setting between these comparisons that was not consistent? really shocked to see the 100% crops at 7:16 // 7:54, confirming there wasn't some motion blur on the 28-70? the IQ here just doesn't make sense. I've seen some great images out of that lens wide open, and something seems off here. 28-70 is kinda famous for being incredibly sharp wide open, and these shots imo would not be usable/submittable. sidenote: always love when creators include dropbox folder with some raw test shots for viewers to compare, def adds lot of value to a proper comparison like this.

@JamesReader 4 месяца назад

There was definitely color shift between the two. Generally the 24-105 is the warmer lens. They were both shot under consistent lighting and and daylight WB the only change was the lens it's self. I agree - I was fairly shocked too, there's always a chance the lens I hired isn't the best example of the 28-70 but I found this to be consistent at 70mm with this lens on the day.

@marcelrothmund2447 4 месяца назад

I absolutely agree! My copy of the 28-70mm is absolutely sharp at 70mm, too.

@SigurdDecroos 4 месяца назад

My 28-70 is also razor sharp at 70mm f/2

@Xirpzy 4 месяца назад

Mine is rather soft with pretty bad CA. Atleast compared to other lenses I own. Also useless for video with the loud focus motor, heavy focus breathing and no IS. F2 is nice but thats the only advantage it has. I would definitly go for the 24-70 mm instead if I had to choose.

@steveolesen8033 3 месяца назад

For me I like to use 80-85mm for my portraits so the 24-105 would be my goto lens

@marcusavanti902 Месяц назад

I don't like either. Zooms have they're place but fast primes are so much nicer at rendering spearation.

When you did the 70mm vs the 105mm shot, it can be clearly seen that the f2 is super soft compared to the f2.8. Hands down, 24-105 is a way better lens.

If you have deep pocket and strong backbone… Then RF28-70mm F2 and RF100-300mm F2.8 are the only 2 lenses you ever need.

@baekmedier 4 месяца назад

The real use for this 24-105 lens is video... :) i get that its awesom for photos also... but its declicked.. it has a zoom rocker that can be attached.. :) the only issue at the moment is that there is no RF full frame cinema cameras (that has build in ND filters as a cinama line camera should always have) But I guess we will see that very soon :) a few months maybe.. C500 mark 3 ? who knows..

@JamesReader 4 месяца назад

Very true! I’m hoping to test it a little more for video soon. Very much hoping you’re right about the full frame RF cinema camera too.

@baekmedier 4 месяца назад

@@JamesReader I own and use the R5c with the ND adaptor and V Mount battery + battery grib.. the R3 with the regular adaptor for sports.. and then for coporate work i Got two speedbooster C70’s.. The great Big issue is that if you want to use full frame glass on the C70 and use that Nice build in ND (and you def. Want to) it needs the speedbooster.. that makes it impossible to use the RF 24-105 f2.8 😅 And if you go super 35 RF native Mount its not a wide lens any more because of the crop.. 🫣 The R5C Can use it as the only “Cinema” camera in canons lineup… but then you dont have ND “build in” only by using the RF to EF adaptor you can get that.. its just annoying.
