Hey VMT I have two questions i wanna ask you from a photographer myself. I'm relatively still new to photography but I know the basics of photography and the like. With that being said 1) What does EF and RF mean? 2) Would it be preferrable to get a mirrorless adapter given that i have a EOS 500D camera? I hope i get to hear from you soon. Great video too i learned alot from the differences between the EF and RF lenses!

[@angelpyj]

This is a great review.. I decided to keep my EF24-70 f2.8 II because my main focus is a photo shooting not the video. Your reveiw helped me a lot..

[@VideoMakerTwist]

Thank you so much! It makes sense to keep the EF if you only shoot videos mainly.

[@sethc.art.wright]

Dude for real I'm blown away by the lack of focus breathing on the RF lens!! Seriously that's all I was paying attention to after you mentioned that! Like, wow!!

[@VideoMakerTwist]

Yes, it really makes a difference. I'm not sure if you take photos as well, but when you do photo stacking for macro shots, focus breathing is a REAL PROBLEM, because when you overlap the shots, some of them are more zoomed than the others.

[@sethc.art.wright]

@@VideoMakerTwist Yes I actually do that all the time. Mostly with rings for weddings/engagements so I use the 100mm macro, but I still do video stuff and it is just impressive!!

[@transparent1054]

I have mostly EF L glass and in my opinion, you're essentially throwing away money to buy the new stuff unless your someone making money from your photography and can see a need for a feature that the old glass lacks. There's plenty of studies where the new glass isn't optically any better than the EF counterpart.

[@medo6067]

Good point

[@FlatWaterFilms]

For my needs the 24-104 f/4 is a winner for walk-a-bout's. That and the 16-35 f/2.8 is pretty much all I need. Sometimes the 70-300 f/3.5 to 5.6 is selected, but it's beast to lug around. No need to look at mirrorless right now as I mostly do stills and for video 1080/30 works just fine. I'm keeping the 5D IV until it wears out. Sorry, no more money to Canon for awhile. 😊

[@seyirvarseyiricinde]

Hello, I need to buy Ef 24-70 because I spend most of my money for the body. Do you think this lens will be successful for photography with R6 ii? Also, will in body IS work at full performance with this lens? Thank you very much and best wishes

[@lb7144]

Yes, adapting the EF version of the 24-105mm will work just fine. You’re using excellent (L) series glass on a newer sensor. I just picked up an R6 MKII and have been experimenting with adapting my older EF lenses. The EF 24-70mm f/2.8 will probably be one of the last EF lenses I purchase. I will use this on my 90D & R6 MKII. The STM EF-S prime lenses work well adapted onto the R62 also.

@@VideoMakerTwist professional wedding photography !

[@andreaspohl3679]

Is the EF version a little bit wider at 24mm? Or did you use two different cameras to do the shot @6:31?

[@VideoMakerTwist]

It could be just a bit wider and I think there are 2 reasons for this: one of them is the fact that the glass inside is placed in different positions between the EF and RF versions. The second reason could be the fact that the RF doesn't have focus breathing and this could be achieved by croping in a bit to compensate the "zoom" effect. It's a personal opinion.

[@jriis2010]

The function ring is also available in the expensive version of the EF to RF adapter, and here its close to the body, so you dont hit the focus ring by mistake.

[@khay2210]

I can totally understand you, there's a learning curve to it, but I find it more aesthetically appealing, but the adapter is actually a great idea for someone who would prefer to have the function ring closer, and EF lenses do have their special look to them.

[@AlfieLW]

ive been hearing issues about that adapter. i would rent the adapter, as well as the NEW lens and compare

[@khay2210]

@@AlfieLW I do have the RF 24-70 f2.8 and I would say canon made a smart move by making the function ring feel different in terms of texture and the way it rotates, it also makes a click sound with every rotation, so IMO it’s almost impossible to accidentally interchange the focus ring with the function ring, I also hardly use manual focus and for me after a few days of using the lens, it just feels very natural for me.

[@AlfieLW]

@@khay2210 I meant in terms of picture quality

[@khay2210]

@@AlfieLW Well there might be a slight difference in the colors, but not so much in quality. I did a comparison with my 90D and my R5 and they are both great cameras, but the R5 was sharper, was brighter and the colors were different, and to be honest I liked both of them. I don’t know if the difference in color is from the body or a combination of lens and sensor tbh.

[@ThreeCeeProductions]

I know these are the same but for R bodies I’d get the RF28-70. I gave the EF24-70 adapted and it is fine but the 28-70 is special. I stopped using my primes in this range. Can’t say enough about this lens even at the price.

[@VideoMakerTwist]

Wow, nice lens! I didn't test it yet, but I heared is heavy too! I bet the f2 aperture creates some awesome backgrounds.

[@TonyRush21]

very informatiive video. Can the RF be adapted to the same speed booster as the EF? Or do I have to buy a separate speedbooster?

[@VideoMakerTwist]

Thanks! There is actually a Metabones Speed Booster for the RF system. It helps you record in 4k with no crop.

[@dennisplester1542]

Another great comparison. I own both and still find this focal length zoom my go to more than 90% of the time. I just can’t let go of the EF version so it always sits on another body to grab and go, just in case. 😂 I also own the Fuji equivalent F2.8 zoom option for my XF mount bodies. For those who adapt lenses, the EF version also pairs very well with the Fuji GF medium format series. Just saying.

[@dennisplester1542]

Forgot to mention, nice shout out to the 17-40mm F4L as well. A true flawed but full of character classic!

[@zambination11]

The RF version has huge focus breathing but it is compensated by software in camera only for video. Also the RF is not guite 70mm but somewhere 62mm or less in short distances because of the focus breathing in picture mode. Its also a dust and particle sucker. I'll keep my EF version. But thanks for your very good produced video. Cheers

[@vinvanid]

I think it's ok to have 62mm for short distance, as far as the long distance is really 70mm

Thank you so much Cristi for the detailed comparison test! Very helpful for me! Good luck!

[@vedranb87]

Nice comparison. I missed with which camera were you comparing autofocus, but I'm almost certain that the delay is due to camera rather than the lens. I have an R6 and I have Auto Focus menu where I can tweak responsiveness and at the most sensitive setting the response is immediate, as soon as something enters the frame. Extremely useful for wildlife photography where you can be tracking a fast subject that pops into and out of frame, regardless of the lens. AF settings menu was the biggest and the most pleasant surprise when I went from my 90D to R6. I was like "HEY! THIS IS CHEATING!" So in video mode on R6 the menu is in AF, page 3, called Movie Servo AF track sens. "Sens." meaning sensitivity. Goes from -3 to +3 the latter being the most sensitive.

[@VideoMakerTwist]

Thanks! I used the Canon EOS R for the comparison and the tracking sensitivity was set to the fastest. Like you say, that option is really helpful!

[@vedranb87]

@@VideoMakerTwist I guess they upgraded some things then. Though, this feels like something that could be fixed for the R via a firmware upgrade, should Canon decide to do something actually useful and empowering with those instead of just fixing bugs. :D

[@ReneGuidote6855]

Hi. You made a very clear comparison between the 2 lenses! However what caught my attention is when you said that in buying an EOS R, the adapter comes along free. I'm from the Philippines & when I asked a Canon Philippines camera shop about it, the free adapter was only a promo. How accurate is this? Or does Canon Philippines have different marketing strategies compared to others? Thanks!

[@VideoMakerTwist]

Good point! Someone else mentioned this already. When I bought the EOS R, I got the adapter for free, but now they're charging for this. Like you said, it was offered as promo when they're first mirrorless system was released. Sorry for the wrong information from the video.

[@AllgoodthingsTv]

This was nicely done. I had the EF 24-70 f2.8 II for many years paired with the Mark II. I loved that combo and got a lot really good pictures from it. I've only rented the new RF 24-70mm once and it seemed excellent. I did buy the RF 28-70mm f/2.0. It's a beast but there's something missing from the new mirrorless systems that the old Canon DSLRs had and I can't put my finger on it. Sometimes the visceral can eclipse the technical.

Not really, I just tried to match exposure in camera, the sun light was constantly changing because of the clouds. There was a couple of minutes between the tests of both lenses.

[@arnesteinkamm1116]

One difference not mentioned: According to Canon, the aperture has only 1/2 stop steps for EF lenses and 1/3 stop steps for RF lenses, which leads to better results with videos.

Just a question, as I am very green with photography. When testing eye tracking, have you found a difference when testing subjects with and without waring glasses?

The eye tracking performance depends on your camera as well. For example: Canon EOS R is not always so good at tracking someone's eye when wearing glasses, but a Canon R6 mark II does an excellent job at this. So it's about the camera capabilities also, and not just the lens.

The image quality is so close between the two, it just isn't worth the investment from a photographic point of view, so I agree with you. The EF version (which I own) seems to be softest at 50mm at 2.8. But I have the RF 50mm 1.2L which blows both 24-70 lenses out of the water for sharpness. I don't like the 24-70 in general for image quality when compared to primes. I'd much rather use my EF 35mm 1.4L II or my RF 85mm 1.2L.

The RF 24-70 2.8 is actually cheaper than the R6 mk II (with $100 USD). On the other hand, I personally think Canon will accept third party lenses in the near future, otherwise they'll lose clients...

Nice video. Though you said that constant aperture is an advantage when you zoom in and out with video - because you don’t need to adjust exposure But wouldn’t most good modern hybrid cameras adjust the exposure (or use Auto ISO) - automatically?

[@VideoMakerTwist]

Thanks! Yes, you're right, but when it comes to shooting video, the AUTO ISO isn't a good option at all if you want to level up to a more pro level. The exposure is adjusting constantly and when you will start editing the video, you will constantly have issues because of this. Same happens for white balance on video. For photos, setting the ISO on Auto, it's fine when the shutter speed and aperture are locked down.

The narrative format of this video of this video doesn't make a lot of sense except of stretching out the video.

I purchased the first version of 24-70 2.8L lens. There was a time in my life when I was shooting a lot. Then, I put my lens on the shelf. Last week, I photographed my nephew's concert and discovered that the zoom on my $1300 Canon prime lens got stuck at 28 mm and does not want to retract all the way back to 24 mm. I called Canon to figure out if they can fix it. Canon said this lens is not repairable because they do not make parts for it anymore. In other words, I wanted to correct your statement that Canon lens is a long term investment. It is not. It is a short term large expense and a long term useless piece of garbage. Canon does not stand behind its products. This is a prime lens, and Canon does not support it anymore. I could understand lack of support on a $400 lens. Prime lens is a different story. My lens is not repairable because Canon does not want to produce probably a 25 cent part that got worn out. Shame on Canon. Never again. Canon does not believe in its own products and subscribed to the ideology of planned obsolescence.

[@Hooliosis]

The first version was produced in 2002-2012 so more than 10 years min, why would canon still produce parts for this lens? It’s a zoom not a prime lens also. Unfortunately things do wear or seize over time, this doesn’t mean the quality is poor. At $1300 if it’s lasted you 10 years that’s only $130 a year😂. I have many older lenses and cameras that still work perfectly 20d, 50d, 5dmkiii, 1dx, 600mm f4 to name some. Most will not be repairable by canon, but you may find a camera repairer that has old parts that could fix it for you.

@@Hooliosis Because this is not a $150 lens. Therefore, they should produce parts for it. I am sure parts from other lenses fit, but Canon wants people to drop $2K-3K on a new lens. I guess you work for Canon based on your comments. Nice try. Never Canon again.

[@Hooliosis]

@@dawidca Nah mate I don’t work for Canon, just being realistic. Your talking about a lens that could be 21 years old and complaining that it no longer serviceable. Obviously you don’t run your own business or you’d go broke, or you work for Sony. If you do I’d like you to repair the $4k HD rec-900E video camera I bought in 1996, I got it out the other day to film something and it no longer works, I’ll never buy Sony again😂.

[@dawidca]

@@Hooliosis We are not talking about some totally outdated technology like your video camera. That Canon lens is still widely used by many photographers and is still compatible with new camera bodies released by Canon. Saying it is not reparable is a d..k move. Sorry, never Canon again.

[@Hooliosis]

@@dawidcaIt actually is outdated that’s why it’s not serviceable, just bacause people use it doesn’t mean it’s not old technology, it’s been 11 years since it was last produced. Maybe if you didn’t leave it lying around it may still work have you thought about that, rather than place all the blame on canon. Like I said earlier, you can always try get it repaired by a third party repairer, I know of one in Melbourne, they may even buy it off you if it’s unrepairable for parts. More your loss if you think any other camera brand will do better, I’m sure canon will miss your once in 20year purchase.

Buy a used 5d mark iv and ef 24-70 2.8 no one will know what camera you used at the end of your edited photos. Save money and thank me later.

Yeah, a good option for photography. It’s a bit different for video.

[@andreibogdanoff6014]

у меня R5 и EF объектив - поэтому нет проблем со стабилизацией

[@VideoMakerTwist]

Agree, but that is digital stabilization from the camera. The optical stabilization is much better because it doesn't create image distortion.

EF for me is heavy duty whereas the RF feels like a Toy. Image quality on the RF is a little better but that does not justify its price difference as well as the fact that its build quality stinks. Sports journalists require a fast AF and RF has more pins but it feels to me like it is still small margins. It is okay for me to trade a bit of quality in the pictures but EF is still one of the sharpest out there. I would rather have a lens which isn't over priced, that wont break and feels like a lens. I have the F4 version of the EF I don't use anything below F4.00 stop much and that has IS

[@edcastrorock]

Na real a 24.70 ii é um lixo, Canon errou na construção e durabilidade da lente. Joguei fora uma por não aguentar consertar

[@Hector_Malot]

RF is 40 to 60% more expensive than the EF !!! Stop fattening Canon !

0:58 he says ....this is the US preses if you living in Europe Yau have to add import taxes??????????????????? you thing we import lenses from usa or what !? you okay ?same lens cheap in Switzerland and Switzerland one of the expensive country on the world ! how the hell you thing we do that !?!

[@VideoMakerTwist]

Never said Europe imports from the US. :) But if you import a product from outside EU in a country which is in the European Union, you need to add at least the country's VAT, which could be different between countries.
