Panasonic Lumix 24-105mm f/4 OIS review

[@Brianoid]

Great review! You managed to cover everything of importance in a short amount of time and supported your claims with actual footage from the lens. My preference is to shoot with prime lenses for their optical and often mechanical quality. A month ago I purchased the S1 system with the 24-105mm kit lens because the 50mm 1.4 was a bit too pricy for me at the time and no other general purpose lenses were available. The results from this lens have really been great! A Nikkor 55mm 3.5 macro still holds a place in my collection, but this lens has more pleasing rendering and likely sharpness as well at close-focus ranges. The last time I tried the Nikkor was with a Sony A7rII a couple of years ago so don't take this for proven fact. One thing I can state for a fact is that this is the first time since starting photography (and collecting gear) 15 years ago that I consider buying a prime lens to accompany the "kit" lens as a luxury, rather than a necessity.

This was a fantastic and super informative video, thank you so much! I'm about to buy an S1 with this lens using your affiliate link.

Thank you! :)

Really useful video, nicely presented with the bonus of some beautiful images

Здравствуйте! Такой вопрос: Я купил б/у объектив 24-105 f/4. Panasonic и я им не довольный после нескольких сёмок. И на фото и на видео от 30мм до 105мм замечаю что он не имеет то ли рескости Толи ещё что-то но на фото на 105мм очень это заметно что на лице нет чёткости.. в чём причина может быть? Замечал ли ты Братухин этого у тебя ? Может это такой объектив от Панаса ? Подскажи пожалуйста...

[@yeahyeahyaha2]

Great review! Thanks a lot for it. Dpuble-checking, you ran all the tests in the 45MP s1R, right?

[@Camerahoarders]

Yes I did

[@lfcmarkeb7124]

Fantastic review my friend 👍

Hello there i love to see a Review / comparison of the lumix 24-70mm and the lumix 24-105mm lens keep up the great work.....

[@davidwendelrobinson]

Helpful and informative review. Looks good for a kit lens.

[@GabeCuello]

Hi, what are your thoughts (video idea?) of the Lumix 20-60mm f3.5 - 5.6 lens?

[@EnerGeezerSquirrel]

Do Leica camera bodies also apply corrections to this lens? In other words, would mounting it on a Leica camera reveal any inherent flaws the Lumix camera body masks?

[@thebrothersthre3987]

@Camerahoarders Does it correct for distortion and aberrations while shooting video?

[@xyxysun5056]

fantastic job, thank you !

[@goyangi2014]

great! can you please compare it to Leica 24-90? I have a feeling that it would hard to differentiate the difference at f4 on both if not pixel peeping!

[@shashinkan99]

yeah a very informatice review thanks i only Wish the mirrorless had better battery

[@stevelink21]

Fantastic review of the Panasonic Lumix S 24-105 f/4! I'm considering this lens with the Lumix S1. Since it handled the S1R sensor so well, how might it fare with the 24 MP S1? Also, have you tried it with the "High Resolution Mode", or either S1 or S1R? Thank you!

[@Camerahoarders]

It can only be even better on lower res sensor as it won't accentuate potential flaws. High resolution mode takes 4 individual images and combines them into one digitally, the lens needs to resolve only enough for individual image.

[@stevelink21]

@@Camerahoarders Excellent! Thank you for the detailed reply. I look forward to seeing how much sharper and more detailed my landscape images will be, (both using the native 24MP and the High Res Mode) printed to 30" x 40" with this kit, over my Fuji X-T3 X-System!

[@mengzaa55]

great review

[@Simoneslegs]

It's an L mount lens for all MFT cameras, right? You say its a kit lens but it's over a thousand dollars! I wasn't expecting that. Judging from your review I'd like to try it on my G9 if I can. I know the G9 is more for still photos but I'd really like to start making videos and this lens sounds like a good one to have. Does anyone have any other suggestions for a good lens for making video with the Lumix G9? The 25mm that I have right now is super slow at focusing. Thanks!

[@Camerahoarders]

This is L mount only, you can't use it on the G9 or any other MFT camera.

[@uhu4677]

Only question I have is, why is Panasonic not making such a lens for MFT? I mean 12-60mm with constant aperture (maybe f2.8). Anyways ... great review as always on your channel! All important information with examples in a compact format without unnecesary blabla. Thumbs up! 👍

[@Camerahoarders]

Well, who knows... they have 12-35 f/2.8 and 12-60 with 2.8-4 so they probably think that's enough for people to choose from.

[@uhu4677]

@@Camerahoarders For me it only makes choosing hard. Can't decide what's better. Currently using the 12-60mm Kit-Lens, which I got very cheap.

[@Camerahoarders]

If it helps you, I would pick 12-35. f/2.8 is nice to have and is even slightly smaller in size. For longer range I would pick Oly 12-100 f/4 PRO.

[@danielsiebert319]

good job!

[@klarion]

Thanks, though for the price of this lens, everything should be much better than "above average"...

A very common, pathetic slow & scammed children, beginners & amateurs. < medium format started it all by a slow F4.0 < then Canon/Nikon copied using F4.0 to sell to people < then Sony removed & paid all reviewers by NOT saying there is NO no scale/feet/meter window < then everyone copied Sony with lenses WITHOUT index data < many times F2.8 lenses are slow < companies knew that many are now shooting with cell phone. so don't be surprised with F6.3 lenses out.
