The ONLY Lens You’ll Ever Need… (Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM)

[@dmytrohryshyn]

Pair it with cheap 50 f1.8 and you are done. If you can stretch a budget pair it with 35 mm F 2.0 IS and you are good for video work with image stabilization when is to dark for F 4 lens.

This video by all means felt to me like I am back in early 2010s... and it felt good!

@@PhotographerSen Appreciate the comment 🙏

[@JoshuaChew]

Just got it a few days ago for my 5Dii for a great price. It's heavy af but its great!

[@kieranperk]

@@JoshuaChew Yeah, I noticed that moving from a kit lens to this one the weight difference is insane. However definitely worth it for me!

[@MuhammadRizwan-dz7pv]

I'm using 28-80mm kit lens for Canon 6d. I will buy this lens now. Thanks for helping me

[@kieranperk]

@@MuhammadRizwan-dz7pv Glad I could be of assistance

[@MuhammadRizwan-dz7pv]

@kieranperk how much it can stabilize videos?

[@kieranperk]

@@MuhammadRizwan-dz7pv If you take a look at 02:26 in the video, I show how the same shot could be stabilized with the lens. Both clips were shot in the same position and how I was holding the camera was the same too.

[@LeoHarris-mh2fp]

Great video - the 24-105 is a great all rounder for sure! Best of luck on your content creation journey

[@kieranperk]

@@LeoHarris-mh2fp Thank you so much! 🙏

I have the complete EF-L prime line up, still, I have a sweet spot in my heart for this lens. "Only" f/4, not 1.4, or 1.2, still - there is something. Survived rainstorms, and delivers nice, lovely pictures.

[@tesa6199]

I got this as my first ever lens and love it absolutely

[@kieranperk]

That's so cool! How well has it performed over the time you've had it?

[@tesa6199]

@@kieranperk I've only got into photography about a month ago, and the lens was miles better than I ever expected

This has been my workhorse since the 6D in 2012. Its an amazing lens. Quality is mostly on par with the RF version. Still using it on my EOS R for commercial work.

[@kieranperk]

Yeah, its such a versatile lens! Can't wait to use it for more projects.

[@mikafoxx2717]

Great lens for versatility. Not the world's best optics but its GOOD ENOUGH. Mine was a mere 200 bux for the mark 1. The 40mm 2.8 is my favorite EF lens, however.

[@kieranperk]

@@mikafoxx2717 40mm is something you don't tend to hear much about. What made you choose that over a 35 or 50mm?

[@Dhurbamanchitrakar]

​@kieranperk In my opinion, 50mm 1.8 didn't focus well on 5D mark I (Classic) but 40mm 2.8 did well. And it is cheapest lens near 35mm in canon I think.

[@adude394]

The 24-105 EF was my absolute favorite lens, whether on my 7D Mk II or 1DX Mk III. I finally decided to move to mirrorless earlier this year (got an R5 and R6 Mk II), and just a couple of days ago took delivery of my f/4. As I expected, it's a really nice match for either Rx camera. It's a versatile, all-around good lens that gives excellent results in a variety of different situations. Given the price point (and much greater weight) of the newer "Z" version of the lens, the f/4 was a complete no-brainer. Actually, I'm not sure I've ever met anybody who didn't love the 24-105, whether EF or RF!

[@kieranperk]

Its such an amazing lens, no matter the mounting system. Hope it works well for you!

[@phillesfan98]

I have this lens. Works great with my R6ii!

[@kieranperk]

@@phillesfan98 The R6 is such a good camera!

[@phillesfan98]

@@kieranperkfor sure! Autofocus with the lens doesn’t work as great as the RF, or higher quality EF/sigma lenses, but still great value for the price!

[@kieranperk]

@@phillesfan98 To be completely honest, autofocus has definitely been a huge upgrade for me with this lens. However I presume with an R mount, yeah it would be even better. Might have to move onto that system one day...

[@phillesfan98]

@@kieranperkI have a few RF lenses myself (70-200) and have rented a handful of RF lenses. The autofocus is definitely better on the RF lenses, however, I would hope that lens that go for 2K+ have better autofocus. The 24-105 still has very very good with the R6ii and great image quality!

[@Adreno23421]

Wait till you have a Sigma 18-35mm F1.8. Then you get some nice bookehs and don't look back.

[@MHBFarming]

im getting this lens from mpb too

[@MHBFarming]

also what i would say is that you say it can have the same focal as the nifty fifty however the main appeal of the nifty fifty is the low aperture, still a great lens though

[@kieranperk]

@@MHBFarming Good point! I didn't think about that, but you're completely right. I should've said that it can fill that gap if necessary. Thank you

[@MHBFarming]

@ yeah, i think sigma has a much more expensive 28-70 f2.8 so thats definitely an all round lens when combined with a 70-200 or 100-400

[@t1agosantos]

It is great... but after it broke the flat cable that control the aperture for the second time, i've bought the mark ii version. It's a lot better .

[@kieranperk]

@@t1agosantos Yeah, I had that happen on my old 70-300. Really annoying because it's such an amazing lense. Hope the mark ii works well for you 👍

[@vietanhpham7222]

how much does it cost bro?

[@kieranperk]

@@vietanhpham7222 Got mine for about £350 at MPB. Sorry forgot to add the links to where you could get some 😭

[@anilchandran3954]

It is good for pwrsonal or marriage photos, but not for wildlife

[@armandsaavedra5577]

Great lens only caveat would be it sucks in low light due to the aperture

[@kieranperk]

@@armandsaavedra5577 Yeah, F4 is not the best thing, however with the newer cameras and software you can shoot higher ISO and not be worried about the overall grain in your image.
