nice lens! Canon are pushing forward! I personally always carry two bodies (flash on 24-70 on one body) and (12-24 f2.8 or 70-200 f2.8 on the second body). Plus a 85mm f1.8 for some mood shots. Longer reach gives you ability to shoot those candid moments. I feel the upper 105 f2.8 is still too short to capture candid moments or close up of speakers, but this depends on the event. I would always carry two bodies anyway as a backup. I think your 24-105 f2.8 with flash is probably quite a heavy setup for one body. Your lens is 1.3kg, when you add flash (0.4kg) and camera body (say 0.8kg) you're over probably 2.5kg! That's pretty heavy on one shoulder, which should be considered. Where this lens maybe ideal is tight sports , like badminton where you are located very close to the action.
@@kitminlee9169 you’re probably right, as in sports you’d run a monopod too and likely won’t be moving much in the arena. The weight of the lens does take a toll especially 4 hours into the event shoot
@@Jekoza about the 28-70mm, it’s cheaper than 24-105 which is nice, but what actually made me sway toward the 24-105 is the IS when purchasing a lens. The 2.8 for me is ok, but if they can go 16-105 f2.8 then it’s bingo 😂
Thank you for the review. Do you ever do hybrid video as well with the lens and also you mentioned connection issues with old EF lenses that’s something I’ve never experienced has been a big problem for you because you are the first one I’ve heard ever mention that?
@@whiterock1865 yup, there’s rarely people stating on the connection issues, if you don’t have them that’s great, the old 70-200mm 2.8 mark I had that issue for me
yes, very interesting, I shoot Nikon, but same problem, 24-70 or prime 105 ? but great to have a "walk around" lens and portrait/macro lens in one zoom.
@@rodricchan us in the Nikon 'camp' have that, yes, but we also have 24-70 in F2.8 flavour, as well as a 'dog' 24-120 zoom, so have some choice; but answering that question, Yes, for most people, this IS the budget option, as a DX/Fx 14/24 or equivalent, is another, but without the tele option, and is long, heavy, and has a $$$$$ price tag. It all depends on use, and how much one wants to carry; I, personally, use the 24-70 f4 and a 105 f 2.8 prime, I don't shoot sport/people though, so the time changing isn't an issue, the Quality of the image is, so mainly why I still go the prime option, with a walk around zoom for convenience sake.
If I go with lens 70mm all time only these photos I will get then price is same too yes it canon 24mm-70mm lens but no I go 400mm better my mother get it super good price all for once she is very satisfied with it and I have tell her I will travel all place I will shoot photo.
Well me for lens I love to buy for event plus travel and wildlife photography and not all things shoot photo is near like for example in lot of zoo animals tend to be very far but beautiful views for tiger pictures is very most beautiful photos shoot plus like colours full birds and lot of things that why in lenses I love go far like 400mm that why my family see why it not same like you when me I does math I believe in time lens will increase in price so these great lens now is reasonable but my family tell it big 400MM these things go like then sorry I go for once for all because in future lens price increase I believe it will become more because more sophisticated it will become I believe everything like a camera built in the lens then only need camera to only just shoot photo you knows how deep the price will become I believe 5000$ US then I will see wow these things price but acient lens will not be selling then I will go with expensive one then no for these things but grave in things if I don't know I fall in love with these lens but it that expensive I will tell my mother please please these lens but if now I go with these lens after their is no lens because lens is just zoom and big beautiful shoot photo click .
14 is unpractical, 200 is good for a big places, have 70-200/2.8 IS and it's enough at high ISO. Also I use some LED lights to raise a light conditions, if there is a time and place on location. Can show you my pix, they aren't bad

love my 28-70mm F2 but if I have a dream perfect lens that's physically and generously possible it would be the 24-105mm f2

Who wants to walk around with a lens that large?
Looks like a good lens
but you'll still need a camera to be attached
Your lens is same as Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L is USM Lens (Renewed).
