Great test and video. That's a lot of money for a bit more cream. Before the R5 I had the 5DS and the EF 24-70 F2.8. When I went mirrorless with the R5, I sold my EF lenses and bought the RF 24-105 F4. It's my base lens I use for walkarounds, some portraiture, and all around photography. I like the little bit of extra reach when I need it. and the cream level suits me fine even losing a stop.

Have the 24-105 f4, love it, bit shocked that you have to pay 1400gbp, it is still available here in Australia for $1700..

I understand the point, kinda, but different lenses suit different purposes. You can never declare one lens type to be better than another, only more or less appropriate to the task at hand.

Great video. I am a hobby wildlife photografer with the Canon R6M2 with the RF 100-500mm 4.5-7.1 L and the RF 24-105 mm f4 L. For wildlife I use the 100-500MM mostly. The 24-105 for citytrip and other common things. I do think that for portrets the f 2.8 should be the winner for the background. As for me I like the 100-500MM and the 24-105 for the things I do with them. Greatings Leo from Holland.

I have the 24-105 and I am quite happy with the DOF of it. It’s a great all around lens. For me it’s the extra reach that helped make my decision

Great comparison Mark. thanks for sharing... What is your view on the rf24-70 f2 ??? That's a beast ... is there a marked difference between f2 and f2.8?

Im not a canon shooter for me im Nikon and fuji but found this to be very interesting

As a hobby photographer shooting with a Canon R100, I choose the RF24-105mm to save a ton of money as compared to the RF 24-70mm lens. I mainly shoot flower n foliage photos with my R100. I use a EF 100mm f2.8 lens with an adapter on my R100. I also have an RF 100-400mm zoom lens f5.6-8. Some years ago I paid $600. for my EF-100mm lens used. And I paid under $700. for my 100-400mm lens new.

What’s the location?

I have the 24-105 and use the techniques I learned from your beginner course to get a great background blur. In my opinion, spending extra money on the 2.8 would not be worth it.

Thanks Mark, great video. Being weighing up between these two and same for the 70-200. Now leaning to the 24-105 just for that extra reach and only needing to take 1 lens at times and then would potentially get the 70-200 f2.8.

24-105 is a great travel lens as it's lighter, and has more reach. If I'm getting serious, I switch to my primes anyway.

Excellent comparison, for hobbyists like me 105 is fine. Excellent content indeed, I am a subscriber, liked and commented. 🙂

If I had to do it all over again, I would have skipped the RF 24-105 f/4 and gone with the RF 24-70 f/2.8. On the R5 if you only occasionally require the extra reach you can easily use crop mode. Additionally, I picked up the RF 70-200 f/2.8 for extra reach and the kit lens now stays at home.

Good comparison, I chose the 24-70 f2.8 because I have the 70-200 f2.8, they make a nice combo!

I can see a professional making this purchase but for the rest of us who make photography a hobby, lens prices are ridiculous. Not that it wouldn’t be cool to own one of these lenses. Reality is that there are better choices for a fraction of the price one should consider. As a hobby, there are affordable lenses out there that can be found on Amazon, eBay, Facebook Marketplace, and other such sites. Obviously they will not give you the same quality but for the smidgin improvement compared to the thousands of Pounds, Euros, Dollars, extra really isn’t required. Don’t forget what makes photography fun. It’s a bit in the gear but not at the cost of brand new equipment. Thanks for the video and looking forward to your next.

You give excellent advice. This is the second video of "The School of Photography" that I have watched on RUclips and both broke things down into understandable terms and explained the new terms for a beginner like me. Thank you so much.

From the site you put below the video, can i order to Cyprus?

Quite helpful. Simple enough to get something useful out of as a beginner.

"It's wevva you can deal wiv the noise in bouf versions?" Love it.

Just stunning beautiful whimsical photos, love it!!

but the question is, the more detail in the landscape example, is that due to the simple higher megapixel count, or larger sensor.

NO to facebook, they degrade the image quality and delete copyright !

I do NOT like instagram, neve had liked it ! I have just looked at Vero, it does not look like a good community for photographers to have a good time, it looks more like a sale shop ! I use flick which could be better, but it flickr is the BEST place for photographers, here you can find other photographers, watch photos by genre, see what gear to use and much more.

Give me some money so that i too can go for R5🎉
