Thanks to those of you correcting me on the image stabilization in the 24-70 f/2.8. The f/2.8 versions from Nikon, Tamron and Sigma Art do have IS. The two Canon 24-70 f/2.8 doesn't - however, the f/4 version does. My bad ;)
In this day of mirrorless cameras handling higher ISO so well I don't need a 24-70 2.8 anymore! I now use a Sony 24-105 f4 for nearly all my travel shots and it's awesome. Anyone saying otherwise is full of it
The Sony 24-70 f2.8 does not have image stabilization, but such an expensive lens would be used on one of the Sony bodies that has IBIS stabilization, so not really an issue. However, the Sony 24-105 is my workhorse lens. Thanks for the video.
The Canon RF 24-105 is a great street photography lens for Portland and the Pacific Northwest. It’s amazing how often 28mm isn’t quite wide enough and 85mm isn’t long enough. With 24-105, rarely do I find myself wanting a different lens.
Love my Sony 24-105 as well. And as you can attest Mads, it holds up great, even when rolling out of ones bag, down the rocky slopes of Fossa, into the water at Nigel's feet! 6 months now and still working great!
Great points. I would also add that with today’s DSLR/mirrorless cameras it is easy to adjust ISO to compensate for exposure at f/4 versus f/2.8. But having that extra 35 mm of focal length can’t be added so easily. I like the perspective in the 85-105 mm range for portraits which makes the face look very natural and proportional.
Mads, Many thanks for your inspirational videos. Whenever I hear the musical lead in to your Iceland videos, I feel inspired. My wife and I just got back from a 13 day self guided photography trip in Iceland that was in no small measure a result of the idealism present in your work and in you. Thank you again Mads Peter Iversen. Joleen and I will always be grateful. Phil Zivnuska
The 24-105 lens is an amazing lens. When I switched fromCanon to Sony, I made sure that it was part of my new kit. I am looking to add the 100-400 to my kit. When I was shooting Canon I had a 70-200 and I found myself wishing for a little more reach while I was in Zion NP
I bought this lens for wedding photography pairing it with my A7IV and 50mm 1.2GM lens your photographs showed me the possibilities of this lens thank you! Sub
Love my 24-105. One of the most underrated lenses in the Sony line up. I always try to convince my friends how good it is, but they say, “It’s a F4” 🤦🏻♂️
It obviously depends what your main use of it is. It works for portraits, but if that's your main use of the lens and you like the bokeh it's probably better with a 2.8 or something smaller :)
This is the lens that is coupled with my A7iii 95+ percent of the time for the past three years. Being an avid advanced amateur photographer with main interest in landscape photography, I found that the IQ and versatility of this lens is unsurpassed. Thanks for sharing!
I own a 18mm 2.8 Zeiss Batis, 35 2.8 Rokinon and a 70-200 F4 G, Before that I had the 24-105 but realized I always went tele or wide. I may pick up a 24-70 someday but I love my kit right now :)
Great video. I own the Sony 24-105 coupled with the a7 r iii. Agree with you that the lens is very versatile. I have used it fir landscape, action (capturing surfers), seascapes, city, and even a few portraits of granddaughter. I knew the lens would be superb quality based on reviews, but am amazed on how flexible it is.
I switched over from Nikon to Sony about 2 years ago and kept the 24-240 kit on my A7R3 as a general purpose lens, and invested in 2 primes. I purchased a Sigma 50mm f1.4 Art and the Zeiss Batis 85 f1.8 as I was doing more portrait and product work so I was was good. NOTE: I was waiting for the Sigma a 24-70 f2.8 to be released and that was to be my next purchase. I figured I could used it for Landscape and portraits alike. However, one of the reasons for a 24-70 was to have the flexibility of shooting "family" portraits with one lens, adjusting the focal length to accommodate the group size. But... When shooting couples or family's, I would have to stop down to f4.0-f6.0 depending on the amount of people in the frame, so that would negate the f2.8 on the 24-70... So the 24-105 f4.0 was a no brainer for my particular needs and your video, including a few others that praise its sharpness, helped me decide! So, thank you for that!
Brilliant upload I had a lot of Nikon lenses and gear sold off to move to Sony Although I don’t have ur skills I have ended up with a 24-105. 100-400 and wide 16-35 - the wide 16-35 has more use for me compared to 12-24 as sometimes I use it as Jack of wide and mid range - also for video and my CZ has OS The 2.8 or primes have no place in my camera bag - the weight and range of 2.8 lenses is very prohibitory for me Great review and superb photographs
This helps greatly! I’ve been in the fence, which of these two lenses to purchase. Thanks. Great job with explaining how you use the 24-105 compositionally!
I’ve the 18-105 G myself! Not the sharpest, but honestly I can’t imagine being without that convenient, on-demand range! It’s so so nice to not have the weight of other lenses and not have to expose my sensor to the elements much at all. Do want the FF eventually of course for the performance and quaintly, but honestly I’d probably still consider just getting the 24-105 as my first lens!
Thank you Mads for this tutorial. I also use the holy trinity ( 16-35, 24-70 and the 70-200 ).... the 24-70 is the most used lens during my trips with the pano-trick for wide or high range. Just bought a mirrorless FF-camera (Canon R) and the Canon RF 24-105 mm f4 IS is my next purchase. Also i must say that your eBook on Composition is just a super educational piece that i will recommend to everyone !!!
Been using the FE 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS since March 2015 when it came out. Like the long ago Canon 50-500mm and 60-600 travel lenses this lens by Sony hits near and far just as sharp as the 24-105. Both are the same size. Only differences are the button and switches for stabilize and af/mf. The 24-240mm will do moon shots at 360mm in APS-C and get stars during lunar eclipse and a beautiful diamond ring during solar eclipses with stars also. Do a sunrise at 24mm then some birding at 360mm. Do a landscape at 24mm but zoom to a cliff and trees further than 105mm. Yes the 24-105 is f/4 constant but with a Sony what is f# when you have the +3 to -3 dail. Soon you maybe able to afford the internal zoom and fast focus motors of a new 105 or 240.
Mads, I use a 24-70mm Tamron f/2.8 on my Nikon D850 that does have image stabilization, so I wanted to add that piece of data to the discussion. Having said that, I remember the days of my 18-105mm kit lens and the flexibility it gave me. You have made me give serious consideration to trading over to a 24-105mm before I head to Iceland in November.
Fantastic video, also sidenote: It seems that every Sony landscape photographer has some unreal looking work.. these are stunning. Not saying it's the reason your work is good at all but just a funny thing I noticed on youtube.
Neither lens could win with me, since I'm a mean prime lens snob: Sony 11mm and Viltrox 27mm is next ;D I have legs, and i found, that walking yields far more awesome shots and vistas than just zooming in or out.
Great lens. I have it also on the A7R2 and the R3. I would also mention that the 24-240, although not constant aperture, is not bad, especially when considering the focal length and the use for landscapes. Do you have a video comparing panorama vs. wide angle shots? I see a major difference in the images of the rocks on the beach and wonder if that is really as pronounced.
从构图上讲，变焦范围越大，可能性就越多，所以24-105是好的焦段。同时也得考虑：最大光圈、对焦速度、防抖、最近对焦距离、成像质量、机身做工、价格等因素。另外，如果你拥有了24-105，那么你是否需要一个105/2.8 macro？你是否需要70-200/2.8呢？ Compositionally, the larger the zoom range, the more possibilities there are, so 24-105 is a good focal length. Also consider: maximum aperture, focusing speed, anti-shake, nearest focusing distance, image quality, body quality, price, etc. If you have a 24-105 macro, do you need a 105/2.8 macro? Do you need 70-200/2.8? 85/1.8？:-P...
Almost all my landscape photography is with a Sony RX10ii and the longer focal lengths are the most interesting. Wide angle is usually boring, the same waves on the beach photo in every tropical art gallery
IV been looking to up grade my lens and this has made my choice very easy IV Snowdonia on my door step and believe this lens will be perfect, thank you
Is it worth it though if I don't have a full-frame camera? Or are there any good 24-105 (or equivalent for cropped format) lenses for APSC/cropped sensor format you can recommend?
What's your tradeoff between f2.8 and f4 aperture for 24-70 and 24-105 lenses respectively? I am currently in a dilemma whether to go for 24-70 or 24-105 because one offers high aperture and other offers extra telephoto range with cheaper price too. So if I am spending that extra $600 for 24-70 f2.8, I need to have a strong reason, but I am not finding convincing conclusion yet. Choosing f2.8 gives that extra DOF which is required for portrait photography which I will be missing in f4, so would like to understand your perspective on that. Bdw, I am looking for all purpose lense that covers landscape, portrait and street with 6D mark2.
You were talking about going wider then 24 mm by creating a Pano with vertical shots. Do you have a formula how many vertical shots equal to what focal range?
Mads Peter Iversen I have the 24-105 and use it sometimes to do panorama holding the camera vertical. I try to keep an overlap of 30% but i am not sure what focal length comes out. It feels as wide as 14 mm but I have no calculation to get a real number.
I have the 28-75 2.8 and my brother has the gm 24-70 and its 90% as sharp as the gm. So judging by that, get the tamron. But to be honest this 24-105 is no doubt just as good
Hey, I loved this review, your pictures are amazing! Thanks. Would you say the 24-70 f2.8 GM it is too bulky/heavy for the kind of photos you make and the places you go? I think I'm going for the 24-70 GM but I'm "scared" it might be too bulky for travel
@Mads Awesome video and pictures. Thank you. I have a basic 6D with the 16-35 f.4 and 70-200. I also have the 100-400 but it's heavy, mostly tripod only lens if not bright, and far from having the sharpness of the 70-200 (1st version non IS), even with 1.4 extender on the 70-200. And with all that, I was wondering if you found the canon 24-105 to be a sharp lens vs the 24-70 (even Version 1) from Canon, or against the 24-105 from Sony ? Your impressions would be greatly appreciated. I don't know, looking at some close up images, it seems that the Sony 24-105 could beat the Canon 24-105 in image quality, but you would know better, having experienced them all...
I’ve really been considering replacing my 24-70 f4 for the canon RF 24-105 for my EOS R but it’s the messing around with then some lenses needing an adapter and one being native that puts me off.
Paul Downey I understand your concerns. I just leave the adapter mount on the 24-70 (or 50, 1.8) when I switch to the native RF 24-105. Works for me, but it might not work for you.
Thanks a ton for your videos! Super helpful! I just bought the Sony a7iii with the kit lens and the 24mm GM. I'm also looking for a zoom lens, would you recommend the 24-105mm with the 24mm GM?
I'd say the 24mm is specific for night photography, so generally you can choose whichever zoom lens you think you'd need the most. A 24-105 is a good start or the 16-35mm.
I have been using a canon 18-135mm lens for year and you can shoot almost everything with it, but it needs updating. So I will get the Sigma 24-105 ART soon, most people say its better then the canon version. what is your opinion about this?
Thanks for the amazing video and useful info brother! I was thinking to change my lenses in same order but I wasn't sure if it would work as I expect and you confirmed it 💯
While everyone must decide what gear works best for them, I agree that the 24-105 is a workhorse. It was my go-to lens for walking around and traveling with one lens for 20 year when I shot Canon (24-105 f/4 L). When I moved to Sony last year, the 24-105 was the first lens I bought. Yes, I use plenty of other lenses when I know what I am going to be shooting and can plan the look I want, or have a pack full of kit to haul around, but I can walk out the door with the 24-105 confident that I will be able to capture a well framed, well exposed shot in almost any situation I am likely to encounter. Of course, if I was going out to shoot sports, this would not be the lens I would take. I have always owned 24-70 f2.8 as well, but I rarely use it. Like you, I find that I miss the extra reach when I am using the 24-70 far more often than I miss the extra stop when using the 24-105. These choices work for me. Your mileage may vary.
Thank you for such an excellent and detailed video! I really want to buy the Sony FE 24-105mm F/4 G OSS as my first lens to get the amazing versatility the lens offers, but I felt worried that F/4 wouldn’t let in enough light compared to F/2.8. After seeing your AMAZING photos, I’m convinced that F/4 will be just fine! Your landscape photos are truly inspiring man! Absolutely beautiful!
I've had the Canon 24-105 f4 for about 4 years, it has been my go-to lens for almost everything. It is amazingly versatile as you've said, sharp, not too heavy. However I have just bought the Tamron 24-70 f2.8 VC (stabilisation) to try out for a bit. I still have the 24-105 so will have to work out whether I'm happy with losing 35mm of focal length, could I get over that with a long lens? I did have a 70-200 f4, but I didn't use it often as I preferred to just carry the 24-105. It's gonna be tough to decide.
Thanks for this highly informative video Mads! After watching many TH-cam videos, I was unsure which zoom to go for and left me mistakenly thinking that an f2.8 lens would be 'better', but your video cleared this up and helped me understand that based on my needs, a 24-105 f4 lens would be perfect (for taking landscape shots) as I can also edit these in Lightroom afterwards. I have just ordered this lens, so thanks again :)
This is your first video that I have watched, I like the pace. Very calming :). I've got a 24-70mm Canon with no IS but I don't miss it. Lovely lens. Its the closest I have to a 'kit lens' so I don't miss the extra focal length either but I have heard people say they miss that 35mm more zoom on the 105mm lens.
You are just amazing. These ideas are great. Your voice pitch match with Sean Tucker. I am glad you have made so many videos to learn from. Thanks a lot for all your videos. You just gained a fan.
Recently went through the thought processes about 24-70 or the 24-105 to fill my gap as I already had a 16-35 and 70-200, I chose the 24-105 and just love its versatility, maybe an astro specific lens next year, if I am doing a wild camp and looking to reduce weight then the 24-105 will give me great focal range coverage, I am loving the results up to now :-)
If I ever hit the lottery or get adopted by Oprah, I plan to switch to Sony. For now, I'm still using Canon. The 24-105mm F4L IS II USM lens was the first L Series lens I bought. It's on my camera most of the time. Thanks for your helpful videos and for sharing your incredible photography. Your landscape photography is quite possibly the best I have ever seen.
Absolutely agree. The 24-105 is always on the camera when hiking to a location or touring a city. Love the versatility without changing lenses and the loss of one stop of the 24-70 f/2.8 has never meant a great deal to me. Especially Panos! So literally all of your reasons here really resonate with my photography and approach. Funny enough, you dropped this video while I was in the Faroe's, but from the title alone I knew it would be good one! As as you can imagine, the 24-105 was right there with me the whole trip!
Thanks to those of you correcting me on the image stabilization in the 24-70 f/2.8. The f/2.8 versions from Nikon, Tamron and Sigma Art do have IS. The two Canon 24-70 f/2.8 doesn't - however, the f/4 version does. My bad ;)
In this day of mirrorless cameras handling higher ISO so well I don't need a 24-70 2.8 anymore! I now use a Sony 24-105 f4 for nearly all my travel shots and it's awesome. Anyone saying otherwise is full of it
There's also the new Canon RF 24-70 f2.8 that will have IS.
The Sony 24-70 f2.8 does not have image stabilization, but such an expensive lens would be used on one of the Sony bodies that has IBIS stabilization, so not really an issue. However, the Sony 24-105 is my workhorse lens. Thanks for the video.

What an excellent video.....and what beautiful pictures. You have convinced me to purchase a 24-105 mm zoom lens.
This lens is my default and sits on my camera all the time only swapping it if I want something different.
Excellent photos you have taken. A very good zoom lens is always better to carry.

Great to see the different focal lengths in this video!! Thank you! You just helped me make up my mind, let the research begin for a 24-105 :)
TY THE SIGMA ART VERSION
Your videos are my go to. Thank you so much.
Even better usefulness is the 28-200mm tamron in terms of focal length
INSTANT SUBSCRIBED i love your video because you made the comparison from 16mm-24mm this was what i am looking for
I really enjoy listening.
Your voice is so calm.
Bought the 24-105 :)
very useful advice.
Great review and those shots are 🔥!
Great video and explanations. Thank you.
Is it worth it though if I don't have a full-frame camera? Or are there any good 24-105 (or equivalent for cropped format) lenses for APSC/cropped sensor format you can recommend?
Beautiful images. I love your landscapes that include a human form in them.
I like this video! thank you!
Georgous shot bro but I can't let go of my old 24-120 especially now that I have my Z7.
Pretty sure the 24-120 from Nikon is the equivalent. With the extra 15mm it must be such a great all-round lens :)
Contrats Mads, I love your videos as well as your ebook very well done, Thanks
Thank you very much, Gilles! Means a lot :)
Between the sigma 24-105 F4 and Tamron 28-200 f2.8; what you prefer for Sony A7iii? :)
Some lovely pics there :)
like the video, and reading the comments.
love this video!!
What's your tradeoff between f2.8 and f4 aperture for 24-70 and 24-105 lenses respectively? I am currently in a dilemma whether to go for 24-70 or 24-105 because one offers high aperture and other offers extra telephoto range with cheaper price too. So if I am spending that extra $600 for 24-70 f2.8, I need to have a strong reason, but I am not finding convincing conclusion yet. Choosing f2.8 gives that extra DOF which is required for portrait photography which I will be missing in f4, so would like to understand your perspective on that. Bdw, I am looking for all purpose lense that covers landscape, portrait and street with 6D mark2.
WOW. Amazing pictures and a good video.
¡awesome photography!
and very good video too, thanks for those insight tips.
Do you still recommend this lens? I have Sony a7iv with kit lens. And was wondering general purpose zoom lens. Thanks!
You were talking about going wider then 24 mm by creating a Pano with vertical shots. Do you have a formula how many vertical shots equal to what focal range?
Hi, nope, but I'm sure there is something that can come close. It also depends on how much you overlap.
Mads Peter Iversen I have the 24-105 and use it sometimes to do panorama holding the camera vertical. I try to keep an overlap of 30% but i am not sure what focal length comes out. It feels as wide as 14 mm but I have no calculation to get a real number.
Great videos and photos. Really impressive!
Can someone let me know which lens is sharper between this and the tamron 28-75
I have the 28-75 2.8 and my brother has the gm 24-70 and its 90% as sharp as the gm. So judging by that, get the tamron. But to be honest this 24-105 is no doubt just as good
Excellent Video, Thank You! Did you do a video about a polarizer or nd filter for the 24-105?
I have one specific about polarizers yes, it's not that old so should be easy to find among my videos :)
Hey, I loved this review, your pictures are amazing! Thanks. Would you say the 24-70 f2.8 GM it is too bulky/heavy for the kind of photos you make and the places you go? I think I'm going for the 24-70 GM but I'm "scared" it might be too bulky for travel
Great video and pics are amazing
hello mads a great comparative lens congratulations !!
Hello from Honduras, can somebody recommended for sports? I have an a6000
Your images are great man :) nice video
@Mads Awesome video and pictures. Thank you. I have a basic 6D with the 16-35 f.4 and 70-200. I also have the 100-400 but it's heavy, mostly tripod only lens if not bright, and far from having the sharpness of the 70-200 (1st version non IS), even with 1.4 extender on the 70-200. And with all that, I was wondering if you found the canon 24-105 to be a sharp lens vs the 24-70 (even Version 1) from Canon, or against the 24-105 from Sony ? Your impressions would be greatly appreciated. I don't know, looking at some close up images, it seems that the Sony 24-105 could beat the Canon 24-105 in image quality, but you would know better, having experienced them all...
One of the best and most informative piece I’ve watched in a while! More to come [p/b]ro 👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve really been considering replacing my 24-70 f4 for the canon RF 24-105 for my EOS R but it’s the messing around with then some lenses needing an adapter and one being native that puts me off.
Paul Downey I understand your concerns. I just leave the adapter mount on the 24-70 (or 50, 1.8) when I switch to the native RF 24-105. Works for me, but it might not work for you.
Thanks a ton for your videos! Super helpful! I just bought the Sony a7iii with the kit lens and the 24mm GM. I'm also looking for a zoom lens, would you recommend the 24-105mm with the 24mm GM?
I'd say the 24mm is specific for night photography, so generally you can choose whichever zoom lens you think you'd need the most. A 24-105 is a good start or the 16-35mm.
you lovely bloke, cheers
My wife is gonna be real pissed when I try to buy this lens! Great video. Cheers.
For some reason they don’t like it when we buy more ‘unnecessary’ gear
I have been using a canon 18-135mm lens for year and you can shoot almost everything with it, but it needs updating. So I will get the Sigma 24-105 ART soon, most people say its better then the canon version. what is your opinion about this?
I haven't tried the Canon but I've been happy with my Sigma. The Sony version is however way better in the corners than the sigma.
@@MadsPeterIversen thanks, I don't think there is a Sony lens with a Canon mouth. Do will go with the Sigma!!
dude you are wildly talented
I started photography within the last year and a happy accident was getting the 24-105 as my first lens. I love it.
Thanks for the amazing video and useful info brother! I was thinking to change my lenses in same order but I wasn't sure if it would work as I expect and you confirmed it 💯

The images at the end are sensational. I shall carry them in my head when I am out shooting. I can never match them but I can aspire to try. 💗
While everyone must decide what gear works best for them, I agree that the 24-105 is a workhorse. It was my go-to lens for walking around and traveling with one lens for 20 year when I shot Canon (24-105 f/4 L). When I moved to Sony last year, the 24-105 was the first lens I bought. Yes, I use plenty of other lenses when I know what I am going to be shooting and can plan the look I want, or have a pack full of kit to haul around, but I can walk out the door with the 24-105 confident that I will be able to capture a well framed, well exposed shot in almost any situation I am likely to encounter. Of course, if I was going out to shoot sports, this would not be the lens I would take. I have always owned 24-70 f2.8 as well, but I rarely use it. Like you, I find that I miss the extra reach when I am using the 24-70 far more often than I miss the extra stop when using the 24-105. These choices work for me. Your mileage may vary.
Thank you for such an excellent and detailed video! I really want to buy the Sony FE 24-105mm F/4 G OSS as my first lens to get the amazing versatility the lens offers, but I felt worried that F/4 wouldn’t let in enough light compared to F/2.8. After seeing your AMAZING photos, I’m convinced that F/4 will be just fine! Your landscape photos are truly inspiring man! Absolutely beautiful!
Sigma 28mm f1.4 - Indoors & lower light.
Sigma 24-105 f4 - General Landscapes, City.
Desired - 100-400mm

I've had the Canon 24-105 f4 for about 4 years, it has been my go-to lens for almost everything. It is amazingly versatile as you've said, sharp, not too heavy. However I have just bought the Tamron 24-70 f2.8 VC (stabilisation) to try out for a bit. I still have the 24-105 so will have to work out whether I'm happy with losing 35mm of focal length, could I get over that with a long lens?
I did have a 70-200 f4, but I didn't use it often as I preferred to just carry the 24-105.
It's gonna be tough to decide.
It's really about compromises. Optimal image quality and carrying 85 different primes or practicality of carrying one zoom ;)
Thanks for this highly informative video Mads! After watching many TH-cam videos, I was unsure which zoom to go for and left me mistakenly thinking that an f2.8 lens would be 'better', but your video cleared this up and helped me understand that based on my needs, a 24-105 f4 lens would be perfect (for taking landscape shots) as I can also edit these in Lightroom afterwards. I have just ordered this lens, so thanks again :)
This will be my first lens when I go to Sony selling all my canon gear now for a A7r 3 and a 24-105, 100-400 then one day a 16-35 2.8
This is your first video that I have watched, I like the pace. Very calming :). I've got a 24-70mm Canon with no IS but I don't miss it. Lovely lens. Its the closest I have to a 'kit lens' so I don't miss the extra focal length either but I have heard people say they miss that 35mm more zoom on the 105mm lens.
You are just amazing. These ideas are great. Your voice pitch match with Sean Tucker. I am glad you have made so many videos to learn from. Thanks a lot for all your videos. You just gained a fan.
Recently went through the thought processes about 24-70 or the 24-105 to fill my gap as I already had a 16-35 and 70-200, I chose the 24-105 and just love its versatility, maybe an astro specific lens next year, if I am doing a wild camp and looking to reduce weight then the 24-105 will give me great focal range coverage, I am loving the results up to now :-)
If I ever hit the lottery or get adopted by Oprah, I plan to switch to Sony. For now, I'm still using Canon. The 24-105mm F4L IS II USM lens was the first L Series lens I bought. It's on my camera most of the time. Thanks for your helpful videos and for sharing your incredible photography. Your landscape photography is quite possibly the best I have ever seen.
Thank you very much :)
Absolutely agree. The 24-105 is always on the camera when hiking to a location or touring a city. Love the versatility without changing lenses and the loss of one stop of the 24-70 f/2.8 has never meant a great deal to me. Especially Panos! So literally all of your reasons here really resonate with my photography and approach.
Funny enough, you dropped this video while I was in the Faroe's, but from the title alone I knew it would be good one! As as you can imagine, the 24-105 was right there with me the whole trip!
Why would this video have 77 thumbs downs? Is there some 24-105 hate group out there?
