It's not fair to compare this to a prime lens for sharpness. Would you rather have several prime lenses in your kit, and the hassel of changing lenses? Or would you rather carry one lens that is good for the whole gamut of ranges from 24-70mm? I guess it's just a matter of priorities. No photographers needs are the same as everybody else. I have exactly 2 prime lenses in my inventory; a 50 mm and an 85mm (both f1.8) and those are pulled out once in a blue moon. I use the 24-70 for everything from stuido work to weddings to shooting bands in bars to taking shots on holiday. The sub f2.8 and below that most prime lenses have is not enough for me to even consider buying for my kit. The sharpness of a prime lense to me (and to my clients) is negligeable. I'm not going to pull out a sharpness sheet and my client is never going to ask for one. To me, the 24-70 is a no brainer.
Hi can someone please help me, i have a canon eos 5d mark III, im a beginner and im trying to find a lens for shooting video that tracks subject instantly. what do i look for when buying such a lens? the lenses i have do not track the subject i struggle focusing as i move and takes time figuring out which way to turn etc....
You don't have to be a professional photographer to afford this lens. As of now, 10/203 you can get it new for around £1650 , but if you're like me, a casual photographer who wants the best image quality, then this lens is the one to get along with the RF 70-200mm f4. At the 70mm setting I can't tell the difference.
Another cheaper alternative is the RF 24-70mm f/4.0L. Perhaps, another video, but more useful for the average photographer... what are your thoughts, James?

Fine!
What is your assessment about RF 24-105 F/4 L USM? If you already uploaded please inform.

U Mean EF 24-70L f4 right?
