@Joanna Kowalska Yes it would be awesome. The 650D is a crop sensor camera so it would be more like a 38-170 so you lose some of the wide angle but gain more reach. Would still be great for travel and every day runnin' and gunnin'!
This is an amazing lens for noobs to run and gun in A mode and get great looking results most of the time because of its focus speed and IS which helps at slower shutter speeds.
I LOVE my 24-105! That, my 55-250 and my "nifty-fifty", are the 3 lenses I can't do without. (70-200 f/4 is on my wish list, and at some point, when I can justify the cost, I would like to pick up a 500mm for wildlife photography.) But the 24-105, whether on my 300D, 20D, or 1DX Mk III, just simply delivers.
If your looking for the best bang for your buck this is the lens to buy. This video says it all. Switching lenses is a pain at the best of times, having a lens that can capture the whole wedding party or a tear trickling down the brides face is mind blowing. Use your brain and buy smart.
Just found your channel. Subscribed right after watching! I am pretty new to photography. Landed on a used Canon EOS R6 body and the v1 version of the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L non-stabilized at a local shop. One of these showed up at another shop, so I grabbed it. Love the lens and the 24-105 focal range, only things I don’t care for are the lens creep when carrying the camera and having to use an adapter with the R6. Was on the Canon website last week and found the RF 24-105 f/4L refurbished for $799, so jumped all over it. Can’t wait for it to arrive! Anyway, yes, this is a wonderful lens, and at used prices it’s a no-brainer compared to some of the new options. Thank you for the great video! Looking forward to many more!
Totally agree the 24-105 just offers so much range for its price. We have the 17-55mm apsc canon and it is amazing. However only thing is we wish that it could go a lil wider at times because certain places we need more room to fit the food and the person in the same shot. Also I think the f4 aperature won't get you that nice bokke. Still sounds like great lens build. Great review!
I've had the 24-105 for over a decade and just never reached for it. It’s a great sharp lens but… kinda boring. Also the F4 constant aperture is a bit of a lie, it gets darker as you zoom in. It just doesn’t tell your camera the aperture hasn’t changed. The 24 has quite a lot of barrel distortion, can be fixed in post but it just turned me off taking the pick in the first place. So its been a 35 to 105 for me. The 28 - 135 is just fantastic. That extra reach makes it REALLY useful. It is lighter, has IS and the difference between the 24mm I never used and a handsome looking 28mm makes it an easy choice. Also they are even cheaper and still really sharp even if it’s not L series. Get one, get it serviced and you have a banger of a lens that you might just weld onto your camera.
Hey! It will do a decent job at portraits but it's not ideal especially in low light. An 85mm f1.8 would be be better if you're shooting portraits specifically and will perform better in lowlight and look sharper too, so I'd recommend that on a budget!
Awesome video as always. Even though the lens is 14 years old you can still use with all the newest canon cameras? The photo and video samples look really nice. Your dog is so cute!! 😍😍
Nice review my friend. My hun just scored this same lens she got it for $325 here in Denver Colorado. And it’s in mint condition as well. I just subbed to ur channel 👏🏻👌🏻from Denver Colorado
Does the 24 - 105 mean that you can adjust the lens to those lengths? And does this lens fit all cannon cameras, dslr or mirrorless? im just a beginner wanting to try out photography, thanks
i dont think 24-105 is best of lens for beginners. definitely if cropped camera like my 80d.. i think good beginner for that would be the actual kit lens 18-55... or to the 16-35 if extra monies. my opinion for crop sensor if doing videos like me.great video tho bro overall
Is it worth trading a 200mm f/2 version 2 lens for a 24-105 f/4??? I already have a 24mm f/2, a 50mm f/1 and a 70-200mm f/2 version 1 and my camera is a M50 MK 2. What do you think?
I would personally keep the 200mm if you already have those other lenses to be honest. The 24-105 is a great convience lens but your 24, 50 and a 70-200 is going to be much sharper!
Hi Jack. For wedding photos, honestly we would recommend using primes or more expensive zoom lenses like the 24-70 f2.8 or 70-200 f2.8 as these will be a lot sharper and better in low light. As the 24-105 is only f4 it's not going to perform as well in low light and is more of a 'run and gun' lens whereas a wedding is quite an important event, so you want really high quality, no compromises level of glass for something like that.
Did you mean m50? With an adapter you can. The older one is great if you're on a budget and we've used the mark II a lot and it's not that much better to justify the price difference though the build quality is a lot nicer.
This is a hard decision for me I was looking at this lens or sigma art version still not sure if I should order the art and wait for stock or pay 1800 for this lens new version
Honestly, they are both great. I actually do really like the sigma version (and love sigma lenses in general), I'd personally go for whichever you can get at a good price!
so for my 80d i need to get the 24mm pancake lens 55-250 lens the 10-18 lens i already have the 50mm 1.8 and get the 24-105 and the 24-70? or just get lenses for 80d and not use full frame lenses on a aps-c crop sensor camera
If you can get a good deal on the new one, I would personally get the newer one now, but this model is still great if you're not willing to spend as much.
Hey, yeah it would work great on it but you'll get a 1.6x crop so it will be more like a 38-168mm lens, so you'll have better zoom range but less wide angle.
Im a beginner and starting following u..i have eos 800d with kitlens and i want to upgrade my lens fo all purpose lens..which lens woild you reccomend sir?
Thanks for the follow! For the 800D, I would totally recommend 17-55 f2.8 lens. It's a great multi-purpose lens with a wide aperture as well. You should be able to get it used for a good price :)
We noticed that too but mostly at the widest angle and at f/4. Have you tried stopping down the aperture? It fares a little better at f/5.6 and f/8 from our experience.
wow! Love this tutorial, new friend! Subbed ! Keep it up! Great job! Thank you for sharing , hope you will love our travel channel too ❤️ Surf and Turf Travel
