Re: Canon 24-105L Review
Sid, Earlier you asked if there is anything not to like about the 24-105f4 L. It does not like to shoot into the light as well, and you can get flare at times and sometimes I get a loss of contrast due to the flare. And yet, I can shoot sunsets with the lens just fine. And yes, there is some vignetting at 24 mm - usually I… -
Re: Canon 24-105L Review
Sid is correct if you stay within the APS sensor based bodies. I introduced the 17-40 because NHBubba's stated desire to move to a FF body someday, which the 17-40 works rather well on, and which the 10-22 will not mount to. My comment was in semi-jest, but if one were starting fresh, a 17-40, 24-105, and a 70-200 covers a… -
Re: Canon 24-105L Review
I've done the exact same thing with that lens. That little bugger will just rack back & forth while you watch the shot fade away. I even have the Katzeye split prism screen for my 20D, and when it's dark enough to confuse the 50 that much, the prisms are hard to see; I've had some luck with it, but not enough practice.… -
Re: Canon 24-105L Review
As you can tell from my previous posts in this thread, this lens has assumed the "most used lens" status in my stable of optics. But I generally use it on a full frame camera - 5D, where it is wide enough usually for me. I tend to be a detail, macro, tele shooter, rather than a wide shooter. So that works for me. But on an… -
Re: Canon 24-105L Review
...on an APS-C body? Anyone have any comments on how this lens measures up on an x0D or x00D body? I am a 300D shooter that dreams of going full-frame one day. The plan was to get an EFS 17-85 IS as a walk-around and then sell it off if I ever went FF. This was mostly due to the accessable price. Fortunately I've found… -
Re: Canon 24-105L Review
I already have the 50mm f/1.8 and use it on occasion, but I'm finding that the Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 is on my camera for the majority of the night in the concert atmostphere and I'd just like something a little sharper in that range. At the same time, I'd like a nice, sharp, walk around lens. Right now I tend to use my… -
Re: Canon 24-105L Review
I had dismissed the idea of the 17-40/4 since I already have my ultra-wide coverage from the EFS 10-22. I figured I'd look to trade from 10-22 -> 17-40, but not until I went FF (if I ever do!). The idea of those lenses complimenting each other had not really occured to me. But the more I think about it, the more I like the… -
Re: Canon 24-105L Review
Jim, I love these two shots. If you posted them somewhere else, I missed it. I made a stink about this lens as a partner for the 70-200. If you are going to take two zoom, I argued, why not take the 24-70 and have two fast lenses instead of one slow lens and one fast lens. And, indeed, the 5D and both these lenses fit in a… -
Re: Canon 24-105L Review
...as a macro??? ...had mine less than a week now and just love the 24-105...I have had the lens out on two paying shoots and cannot find fault...on one assignment had a couple of minutes to kill and shot a bee on a flower...full extension at about 2 feet from the bee and cropped 75% out of the frame...used it for the… -
Re: Canon 24-105L Review
That is a good point, John. The f4 aperture will not work well indoors with moving subjects. It will work in low light for stationary subjects - think Antelope Canyon - shutter speeds of 20 second, but won't work for low light portraits indoors as well as the 24-70f2.8 or the 85 f1.8 Gus - you do not need a ring flash for…
