Canon RF 24-105mm F4 L vs EF 24-105mm F4 L with test shots 

Yes, don't change for the RF version for photos, the quality is 99% the same. $500 was a bargain. Well done and thanks for watching.

I will do. I am away on a short break, but I will post when I return. Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Thanks for watching and subscribe for more coming soon.

I am glad you like it. I will be showing a range of new lenses next month, EF and RF. Thanks for watching.

No more than the EF lens would, the weight is not much different between the lenses. I hope this helps, thanks for watching.

The Canon 70D is a great camera and a favorite of Casey Neistat. Paired with the 24-105 f4L you will get nice sharp images and good quality video. Thanks for watching.

Well actually considering the crop factor of 1.6, you'll miss on the wide angle side, it will act like a 38mm instead of a 24mm, I think that for aps-c cameras it's better to just stick with native ef-s lenses, for example the sigma 17-50 f2.8 it will be a far more usable focal length, and the wider aperture it will help

Get the Sigma 24-105, much sharoer.

Yes I did. Sound ok?

@@Paullebbon The sound is fresh, natural and not deaf. Voiced voice without distorted bass. I think that for a low voice, this microphone is suitable ... Thank you ...

I am glad you like it. The microphone is great for asmr videos as well. But if you live in a noisy place you will need some sound deadening foam. Thanks for watching.

It's a beautiful lens and I am sure you will love it. But I don't think you will see much difference between the images. You will like the way it looks on camera and the extra balance it brings. Thanks for watching.

My camera is the eos R, the RP is a little smaller in size and so I imagine most lenses will be front heavy on it. I think Canon wants people to hold the camera body and then hold the lens with the opposite hand, that is why they include a quick change front ring. Between the RP and 6D2, it depends if you want mittorless or a standard size camera. I had the 6D2 and loved it, I woukd choose it again over the RP, but not over the eos R. The eos R is much better than the RP or 6D2. Thanks for watching.

Hi, the RF is not much lighter, the image quality is almost the same and it is a little fatter than the EF. If you are a film maker, buy the RF. If you can assure yourself you will never buy another Canon D series or EF only camera, buy the RF. It is not so much the price, it is more for future proofing. I have both lenses and the RF I use mainly while filming. In the end it is your choice my friend. It is like an Apple Watch, each one gets a little bit better, but you can still wear the older watch as it does the same thing as the new one. Thanks for watching,

@@Paullebbon oh yeah, i am aware of the negligible weight difference. It’s a bit petty but i wouldn’t want to be lugging around less compact setup with the EF on my EOS R when i can have the RF which is minus the length of the adapter. Good point on the future proofing tho! Never really thought about that. Thanks! x

You’re welcome. Which ever lens you buy just remember one thing, use it and enjoy it. The stabilisation on both is excellent and you don’t need a bag full of prime lenses. Have fun with it and use it well.

Yes, but don't forget you will need the RF adapter to go on to the camera body first or it won't fit. Thanks for watching.

Unfortunately I did use a mk2 but didn’t have one for the video. The RF is a beautiful lens though. Thanks for watching.

The older EF lenses work fine with the EOS R, I bought the 24-105 RF because it is the cheapest L glass just to see if it was any better, it is better and looks amazing and is much shorter than the EF with adapter. But, unless you zoom in max and pixel peep you won’t be able to see any difference. I am saving up to buy the new 70-200 L RF to replace my broken EF version, I will do another video with that lens later on. Thanks for watching.

Answer 2. Yes, by all means use your old lenses, they work perfectly with the EOS R. But if you are getting into video, I would definitely suggest buying the EOS R over the Rp. The EOS R uses the LP-6EN battery that lasts for 400 shots and can record video well, the RP uses the tiny battery from the M6 (or M50) and runs out quickly when recording video and it also has no C-Log. The price of the EOS R is much lower now the R5 is about to come out. Something to think about.

Hi, the EF lens is the 24-105 for L not the mark II version, what made you think that? The mark II version had the exact same image as the older one, but for video it was much quieter. The RF lens has a sharper image and an almost silent motor, but I am having some major AF issues after using with the R6 and so I would not recommend at this time. Thanks for watching and I apologise for the misunderstanding.

@@Paullebbon Thanks Paul. I agree with everything you said. More explanation helped. I don't even have a 24-105 but am purchasing the version I EF. I do video on the EOS R, but I do not us any audio so the noise does not matter to me. I can't justify the additional cost of either the version II or the RF, so the version I seems just right for me. Thanks again.

I couldn't agree more. I have the eos R and now the R6 but apart from the little RF 35mm I just picked up cheap I am buying the EF lenses and using the adapter. The RF 24-105 let me down and so I am not going to continue buying them until the price balances with the EF lenses. Enjoy your EF 24-105 it is a beautiful lens.

It is like comparing an iPhone 11 Pro Max to the iPhone 12 Pro Max. When you make the video, it all boils down to the look of the phones. Because the actual changes made to the newer phone is so small and all you have left is how it looks a little different. Thanks for watching.

Please don’t get me wrong though. I use the newer RF lens all of the time. But it is because people can see it is the RF lens, not because it takes a better photo. 😉

I hope this helps. At the end of the day it is personal choice. Most photographers can take the RF24-105, the RF24-105 Kit or the EF24-105L lenses and get the exact same image from them. It depends more on the camera and how far you want to zoom in and pixel peep. Me personally. I love the old EF 24-105Lon the Canon 5D mark 1. I took my best work on that camera, it has a cool old gothic look to the photos. Thanks again for watching and for the comment.

Thank you and thanks for watching.

It will work great if using for stills photography. For video work I would go with the f4 MKII or the RF version as the MK1 is a little noisy when focus breathing. Thanks for watching.

That is a hard question to answer. Yes, you should see a massive difference if your talking about the 24-105 f4L lens. BUT, if you’re looking at a small 7”x4” print you will see no difference. Blow your image up and really peep at those pixels and you will definitely see a difference, I have used the 24-105 L many times on my M6 mk1 and mk2 and the 32mp sensor loves the L glass. If you pair that up with the viltrox speed booster it will make the f4 go down to a f2.8 and it will be much brighter, although you will lose a little sharpness in the image on video. Anyway I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.

@@Paullebbon Great help thanks for that

You’re most welcome.

Hi Ivan. I am using v1 EF lens and v1 RF lens. The v1 and v2 EF L lens main difference is the noise generated while recording video, the v1 has more noise while focusing and has slightly more focus breathing. For still images they are identical. The v1 RF lens is so much nicer to use with the Canon EOS R. I hope this answers your question and thanks for watching.

Test shots are just past 7 minutes. Thanks for watching.
