Canon RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM vs. RF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM review

[@PunjabiGymBeats]

Go with 24-105 STM and buy RF 50mm 1.8 for portrait and low light and buy speed light for your camera Done.

[@ltraingalaxy122]

Thank u

[@pencilauyeung4863]

Agree

[@lb7144]

Facts 👍🏾

[@dwisurya7]

thanks bro

[@photoguy4212]

Hilarious. I was walking this morning and thought the exact same thing. Amazing minds think alike.

[@okaro6595]

The STM version is for those who use the longer focal lengths only outside in good light. If you need so shoot I'm inside events like concerts and want to pick details then the L version is what to choose. If you have a crop DSLR with typical 18-55 mm and then the STM version is all around 1 stop faster.

[@SuchanBajracharya]

My choice for light weight compact travel gear includes Canon RF 24-105 F4-7.1 STM, Canon RF 16mm F2.8 and Canon RF 50mm F1.8 paired with R5! Stellar performance for light weight compact package!! Thanks for the review!!!

[@jasons7655]

Thanks for this. I just picked up a refurbished RP for $600 from Canon and was able to get a refurbished RF 24-105mm STM for $100 and the 50mm 1.8 for $80. All three with one year Canon warranties. Planning for street and travel photography so want light and versatile while good enough because I’m not a beginner.

[@bigbluerios]

That is my set up. R8 camera with 24-105 stm with 50mm 1.8 and 16mm 2.8

[@johnmantis5959]

I have the STM mounted on R50 and it performs great.😊😊😊

Thank you for the review. I was also trying both of these lenses and came to a similar conclusion - the STM doesn't lens look that good on paper, but when you don't think too much about its technical compromises, it can be a very versatile lens thanks to its size and macro capabilities. I kept the L lens, but I would love it to have a better magnification (like the Panasonic 24-105 has). Maybe I will buy a Marumi macro filter for it, but I'm not sure how well it works. I also noticed that the L lens is a bit wider at 24 than the STM.

[@adude394]

After 20+ years of using only DSLRs and EF/EF-S lenses, I finally made the move to mirrorless this year. I've got the R5, and the R6 Mk II (and may add the R5 Mk II as well, not quite sure yet). My all-time favorite lens on my DSLRs was the 24-105 EF. Just a nice, versatile, all-around good lens for most situations. Thus, it was a no-brainer to add the f/4 USM to my gear bag, once I took delivery of my 100-500 and 200-800 lenses. In fact, the f/4 just arrived today, and went directly from the box onto my R6.2. So far, so good. At this price point (I got a used one from UPP for less than I had expected to pay), it's a complete winner. I had given a bit of thought about the newer "Z" model of the 24-105, but it's way too expensive, and I also read a lot of comments that it's surprisingly heavy as well.

[@Chuck8541]

One of the best comprehensive and technical reviews I've ever seen for these lenses. Easily a subscriber now. Thanks for the work, and good points. I think for low budget travel where I'm often in hostels (cheap/light - plus that red band of the L just signals how expensive it is!), and its macro abilities, I think I'll go for the STM version. I'd like to invest in some better glass for my new R6, but I'll have it on the road with me a lot. So weight is a big factor, plus I rarely use Jpegs from camera. Slight critique - when looking at comparisons, sometimes it was confusing when the L or the STM was sometimes on the bottom, then sometimes on the top. That was a tiny bit annoying. :) Keep up the great work! I'm looking forward to checking out your other vids, and seeing your future videos too!

[@herrykadir6442]

Thank you for excellent review🙏👍,my combo lens for travel is rf 24-105 usm f4L and rf 35 f1.8 macro stm😇

[@darthjump]

Nice Video. Just as a Price update, the L is now three times the price of the non-L one.

[@martyptx]

Great video, thank you. I just got the R8, and was going back and forth between the two. Not now, I’m ordering the F4 L version!

[@OceansideCreations]

Dude!!! You have resolved my doubts. Its not my camera, its the lens. All these little issues I was having were driving me crazy to the point that I didn't even want to use this lens.

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

what was doubt?

[@timelesstruths]

Thanks for reviewing both lenses together.

[@terryvitt2422]

Thank you. Nice comparison between the two lenses. I prefer the L version when I get a R6 camera.

[@hiddenabc6216]

Can you please compare 24-240mm with 24-105L lens?

[@andy-]

I just received my 24-105 f4 L this week, but I fear something is not right: does yours have some noticeable parts moving inside when you turn it in your hand or slightly swing it? I can even hear it. I also have the 24-105 STM lens and it does not do this.

[@JuustJayden]

Very good comparison from Canada thanks getting my RP next week with STM as a kit plus 35 1.8 macro

[@GroovyTakeON]

I’m thinking about the same setup: canon RP with 24-105mm STM and 35mm f/1.8. After few months are you happy with that combination?

[@_noahrh]

So interesting - it's weird to think you have to make certain sacrifices in the L lens like minimum focus distance... you'd think if it's going to be 3x the price it would be better in every single way.

[@giancarloarrobarodriguez5291]

The L lenses are more quality and reproduce better the image but paying 3X between a STM is kind of hard… now RF STM are really good quality, not like EFS and EF which you see really the image dropping quit a bit because of the lens.

[@mike3611]

A thorough comparison that was missing on YT of these lenses. Looking at the photos, you can't see a big difference between these lenses, so it doesn't make sense to overpay?

[@lubanestube]

Bravo! odlican posao komsija...

[@alfredorodriguez8053]

so if I vlog and talk to the camera and don't want to hear the motor focusing I should use the STM?

[@selvamadhisivamart]

Nice and detailed review...👍 Selvam from India.

[@RahulKumar-pf2us]

Should I get 24-105stm for Canon R7 as a first general purpose lens Or should i stick with rfs 18-150 kit?

[@superstringsbro]

I hope you stuck with the 18-150. It is sharper than the 24-105 on an R7.

[@okaro6595]

The kit is better as it is wider. 24 mm on APS-C is IMO too narrow on a zoom. Even 18 mm is not ideal, it should be 15 mm.

[@cyrusIIIII]

I like your reviews. So detailed oriented and covers all aspects.

[@Tomsdrawings]

Very good and nuanced review! Congratulations.

[@RockRock-qi6yn]

Very unfortunately, the lens has not been in stock in China for four months, I waited for four months has not been able to buy😭

[@polyviossimopoulos2436]

Spectacular review - as always!

[@mihaelastefan55]

Which of the following 2 options you think is a better choice for a first time camera buyer? CANON EOS R6 mark ii + RF 24-105 mm f/4-7.1 IS STM VS CANON EOS R8 + RF 24-105 mm f/4 IS USM

[@ahmedismail7646]

Thanks alot for your professional review 👍

[@ChokysWorld]

Thanks for your video 👍🏼 I thinking to buy the rp without lens, what lens do you suggest instead of 24-105 stm kit lens ? //Paulo

[@Camerahoarders]

If you can afford it 24-105 f/4 L IS is the one to get. 24-240 would be good all in one solution as well. Otherwise look at primes like 28mm, 35mm, 50mm, or 85mm. These are all quite good

[@AW-no4qb]

Thanks, very helpful review.

[@mirasga]

F7.1 is too dark for indoor use. F4 is manageable.

[@bechti44]

lol, I have an R5 and definitely opt for the 4.0-7.1 stm version ;D It just has a way smaller packaging which is perfect for travel or in outdoor situations where you might not be able to pack much equipment. As the 24-105 is more of a everyday, ease of use holiday lens for me, I definitely opt for the savings in weight. Its almost double after all. The much better alternative (but also pricy) to the 24-105 STM would be the 24-70 f2.8 from my point of view.

[@모바일게임-n3j]

You dumb. If you want travel, get RP + 4.0-7.1.

[@bechti44]

@@모바일게임-n3j i see, the lens is actually a gift for the rp. Then i would probably sell the rp body

[@Peony50-z5g]

Thanks al ot for the comparison:)

[@ahmedwagdy6975]

So tell me what is better for canon EOS rp this or this cuz am still think alot ??

[@cjinreallife]

I've got the Canon RP with the RF 24-105mm f4-7.1 STM and I don't think the kit lens is that bad. Yes it's not as good as the L lens but a cheap alternative I'm thinking of upgrading to an old EF 24-105mm F4L version 1 for like $400

[@samwang993]

could you please compare the focus speed,I'm reallly curious

[@MsTelah]

Great review! Thanks.

Why doesnt Sony have this type of lens with high magnification and zoom, damn. Canon 24-105mm f/4,7.1 seems very good anf its cheap.

We have sigma 17-50mm apsc now :)

You should compare AF noise

Me literally trying to decided between these two kits, loll... 1800 vs 2800 cost

Is the cheaper lens compatible without a adapter for a Canon T7i body?

[@ExaShark]

no, these r for mirrorless cameras. look at ef and efs lens

[@reallymentalpig1173]

T7i is a much older camera. Search for older ef lenses

Is Tamron 28-200 f/2.8-5.6 available for RF mount?

No. Canon explicitly forbids 3rd party AF lenses beeing made for RF mount.

[@alexeybartashevich6745]

Just got RF 24-105mm F4.0 L IS USM from Amazon. There is quite loud high-frequency sound while focusing (or maybe it's Image Stabilizer?). When framing via viewfinder it's quite disturbing. Is it normal, or maybe I have got not good one?

[@bluezikylez9743]

DO NOT TRUST AMAZON GOOD LUCK

[@GiacomoZonco]

Hmm my 24-105 RF L is completely silent when focusing!

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

Turn off IS on the lens and see if it stops, usually the source of little squeals etc.

[@Kate-hh8yi]

With either lens, I'm not impressed. Rp is my first dlsr or mirrorless, ever- aside from my phone. I expected... better. I have the usm. And, you're right, it is embarrassing. Maybe the industry is more reliant on editing software than I realized. I didn't plan on needing edits, but looked to them as frosting on the cake.... I was mistaken.
