Canon RF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM lens review with samples

I reckon there will always be some kind of market for Digital SLRs, but mirrorless cameras are undoubtedly the future: so, I'm very excited to be testing out my first Canon RF camera lens, for their new EOS R full-frame mirrorless cameras: an update of their perennial favourite 24-105mm f/4 model. Let's see how well it works.

Genuinely I love that any time I want to research a lens a Christopher frost video is ALWAYS at the top and the familiarity has made me think “I hope Christopher made a video about this lens” and not once have I been disappointed! You’re doing photography Jesus’ work Christopher ❤️

I hated my EF version of this lens. It was very soft with tons of chromatic aberration. The RF version is considerably better IMO.

The only lens reviews I trust, thanks again Chris :)

[@franktorres7963]

I also use the ring on the lens to change the ISO

Could you do a review on the RF 15-35mm f2.8L IS vs 16-35mm f4L IS .

[@mochamocha1040]

I always love the fact that you prioritise performance and price range.

[@Cha0s1san]

Do the 85 RF from SAMYANG next!!! :D

[@uishiuishi]

The only truly unbiased review that mentioned the hazy image quality when close to minimum focus distance wide open (and up to about 1 meter focus distance in my experience) Subscribed immediately!

[@emilycohan]

I really really appreciate your reviews. I have been watching several while considering my next gear purchase. Thank you Christopher :)

[@kyokuten]

A blooming lovely review, no one else pointed out the accurate sharpness result of this lens, long awaited review mate, God bless you!
