The best camera LENS for travel photography

[@CJamesPhoto]

So happy i followed my gut, and now after seeing this video im even happier i just bought this lens... you have a really interesting style and i like it.. cool stuff man, and subbed 😊

[@ChristianAls]

Awesome to hear! Really thankful for your kind words and the sub! Always follow your gut in life:-) I'm curious to know if you think my style in photography or on KZbin is interesting?

[@CJamesPhoto]

Christian Als no problem ☺️ and I meant your style in photography, it has a very unique look, pretty satisfying to look at.

[@ChristianAls]

CJamesPhoto Aw, even happier now! Huge thank you 😊

[@CJamesPhoto]

Christian Als You are welcome ☺️🙏🏻

@@ChristianAls your photography is awesome man. Thoroughly enjoyed the video as well. You do make some interesting suggestions. Very helpful for newcomers like me.

[@robertmccutchan5450]

I know this is an older video, but I bought a 24-105 f4 this year, and I just shot a wedding with it. I LOVE the 24-105 range in a single lens for weddings, and the f4 aperture helps keep multiple people in focus while shooting weddings. I rarely go use a wide aperture when shooting people (depth of field is too shallow for my taste), but I used an 85mm 1.8 on a separate camera at the wedding for those times when I wanted/needed a shallow depth of field. The 24-105 is quite arguably one of the best and most versatile lenses ever made! Thanks for posting!

[@sacirkupus]

Hello man, how does this lens handle photos with external flash, is focus good, fast (also wedding photographer), I am kinda in doubt because of f4 maximum opening, hopefully you see this, thanks in advance.

[@backyardjunkie]

Hay Christian, had my 24-105 for years, but it sat on the shelf, oddly. Only took it out a few days ago, been watching a few videos like yours on the lens and you have inspired me to get out there, cannot think why I didn't sell the lens, but feel really happy I still have it. It's great to tell you your decision to make this video is still influencing people like me, all these years later. So, thank you Christian.

[@totoshka4336]

That photo with two goats is just the cutest! Made me smile:)

[@ChristianAls]

Thanks bro! That’s fantastic to read! I’m glad you like my work!😅💪

[@bernardmcmahon7947]

Nice video. 24-105 has rapidly become my favourite zoom lens on my Sony cameras. Always on one body as it is so versatile as you say.

[@Lill1krille]

Love this film. Köpte objektivet efter att ha sett filmen och håller med dig what a beast.

[@PatrickWilson-k9n]

Hello there Christian. What a superb, super informative video. Excellent images too. Epic !!! I've just purchased this said same lens today after waiting for one to become available at the right price and condition. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@chefenriqueavargas3326]

Such a great video, I have to say that this has become my favorite lens (Sigma Art). I love using it with my Z6 w/Adapter. But in truth I get excited when I use it with my D3S, the photos are so sharp. This is definitely the best travel lens, and I agree with you, if you are out taking photos or heading to a specific area to shoot photos, have this lens fired up and ready on your camera, you just never know when that shot of all shots will take place. Truly love this video, you have found a fan in me.

[@mayurshelke6269]

Purchased 24-105 today but i wasn't happy about my decision had to purchase it because of financial constraints. But after watching your video I think it was a good decision. I know skills matter more than the equipment but having right kind of gear which enables you to apply the skills is important too.

[@_avisualz]

The tip about shoot first ask later helped me out soo much! I usually think about if I should take a picture of someone or not because i don’t know how they’ll react.

[@KentSpain85]

Hi! Thanks for the video. I very much enjoyed it. I just switched from the 80D to the EOS RP (APSC to Full Frame). I find the size and weight make the RP a much better "every day" camera since it fits in my bag with a 40mm or 50mm pancake lens (much, much smaller in dimensions and lighter as well! Huge difference). But I picked up an RF 24-105 f4 L lens! Damn this thing is a beast! I must say, ALL of my lenses have been f2.8 (even on my zooms), and going to an f4 I can see the difference in double the light which I never worried about since I always had f/2.8 or 1.8 on some primes. But outside, the f4 is no issue whatsoever and that's where we are when we travel or go out.

[@sonicvboom]

You mentioned that all your lenses have been F2.8. And going to an F4, you do noticed a difference between the two F-stop. If you had to do it all over again, would you have pick the RF F2.8 24-70mm (to get "double" the light), or would you still stick with your recent purchase of the F4 24-105mm?

[@debbieghioto5765]

Thank you! I just purchased this, my 1st, lens to go with my A7C and can't wait to be as accomplished and capture images like you do! Beginner to FF and moving away from my Samsung phone as primary camera.

[@fthprodphoto-video5357]

8:16 amazing portrait it reminds me of the Afghan Girl from Steve Mcurry

[@ChristianAls]

Wow, that’s probably the biggest compliment you could give me! Steve has always been a tremendous inspiration for me and a true blessing in photography imo! So thanks for watching and for your lovely feedback 🔥🙏🏻

[@merycastro4704]

I just got mine and I’m Totally in love with it ❤!! I used with my Canon R6 mark 2.

[@walkingmanvideo9455]

I agree 100%. It lives on my A7iii all the time, either travel or just playing around. Unless I need a specific lens for a specific job, the 24-105mm focal length is so versatile. Thanks for sharing.

[@amdenis]

Great shots and excellent advice too. Absolutely magical, emotional content. There are a lot of videos that show examples that make me think that, 'boy, there are a lot of different artistic preferences out there..." Maybe it is just that I have similar aesthetic sense to you, but all I can say is that your work is really inspiring to me.

[@ChristianAls]

Thank you so much! And so fantastic to hear your kind words on my photography! I'm especially stoked to read your comment about my work having an emotional touch to it.

[@howardpayne6064]

[@noel_racing.711]

I just bought the Sony 24-105 f4 for my upcoming 3 week travel to Indonesia. I will add the 50mm 1.8, but nothing more (i hope) :D I'm really looking forward to test this lens.

[@waygone6657]

I just bought another 24-105 for my 5D II, I had one years ago and gave it away with a 50D when I bought a 6D with a 28-300 which is still my primary kit but I keep a 5D II in the saddle bag on my motorcycle. I had be using a 28-135 on it but sometimes I missed the quality and feel of the 24-105 so I replaced the one I gave away. I'm glad I did.

[@CanadianDrifter777]

Excellent video and images. The 24-105 is a great lens and underrated. But it's always about the vision of the person behind the lens, as your images show. Talent before technology!

[@ChristianAls]

Hey. I couldn’t agree more. I’ve actually never been into the tech side of photography! If someone asks me (and that happens a lot) which camera model to buy, I have no clue😅 Thanks for watching and for your feedback 🤙🔥

[@AllThingsMan]

I agree. I use the 24-105 90% of the time. Great video.

[@ChristianAls]

I’m glad you agree and thanks for watching, mate. It’s such a versatile lens and much better than its reputation😅

[@stacyegan5719]

I love your example photographs. Well done, singing the praises of the 24-105. It makes me so happy I decided to order one for my new full frame camera. I've only had crop sensor dSLRs before and relied on my 17-40 as a walk-around lens, which was barely okay as it was only 27-64mm equivalent. On a full frame that 17-40 is too wide for those general purpose, ready-for-anything situations like you describe.

[@Caracalaba]

Very nice that the video has a ton of examples❤

[@thunder7382]

wow,the photo with the swan is just epic.

[@ajschot]

I have to say when i got a bit serious in my hobby I switched from a 7D to a 6D and i bought a 24-105 F4 L IS. It was beside a cheap 75-300 my only glass for a year or so and i totally loved it. After that i bought a Tamron 24-70 f2.8 VC but for portraits i always took the 24-105 because it looks so much better (most used at 35 and 105) and now i am switched to Sony and i am thinking about getting the 24-105 because i now have kids and not so much time (in other sense) to switch lenses and i just miss the 85-105 and sometimes the 24. Now i have to switch between 17-28, 28-75 and the 70-200 and this is not always fun. Your video made me think back and the first idea why i switched was to get lighter and the 17-28 and 28-75 are extremly light (70-200 f4 G too) but…. I carry 3 lenses and if i think about it now.. that is heavier than one 24-105 and now i alway take the 3 because just in case… witha 24-105 i know i am freely enough and with 105 and getting closer the most 24-105 have a close focussing distance so you still can get good seperation, one stop of light is also not a thing to worry nowadays… thank you i really think i would get a 24-105 again.

[@TIRABATERA]

[@stevekitella4781]

I've recently purchased a used 5Div and this 24-105 L4 ii for a very good price. This is a must lens for your bag if you don't have one. I researched several lenses like the 16-35 and 24-70 as well as this lens. I wanted a versatile " best bang for your buck" lens that can capture landscapes to portraits and this one fills the bill. Shooting a portrait where you don't have a lens in the subjects face frees up the stress on the subject. Capturing natural posses and expressions is the key to great photos. The wide angle is fantastic and both ends of the scale are Sharp and flawless in quality. Don't waste money on the others I've mentioned buy this one, you won't regret it.

Hi Christian. I mainly use a Canon 6D with a 24-105 and 70-200. I have a 50mm and a 1.4x converter for occasional use with the 70-200. For travel, there is no question that the 24-105 is the one I would take. It's the Canon L IS Mk 1 lens, so it produces fine results even down to 1/40th handheld if necessary. Thanks for your interesting video.

[@martyjwalker]

You know, I've watched a lot of videos by some great photographers, on their technique and to a much lesser extent, gear. Not one of them mentions f/1.2 lenses, low light camera performance and frane rates. Their mastery of composition speaks volumes in the face of all the gear nonsense on KZbin. The advice in this video is practical in the best way possible.

Fantastic images! It's funny, I've seen plenty of videos and reviews with people carrying a Canon R5 and RF 28-70, literally THOUSANDS of dollars worth of kit, and they're taking boring snapshots. It's just proof that an artistic eye and time, patience, and practice is what makes a great image. This was a pleasure to watch.

You could also get away with a 24-70mm or a kit lens like the 24-120mm, I've had them all, but this is my favorite of the bunch. So important to have (and as your basis when moving around) in order to be ready! Thanks for your comment!
