Mostly shooting landscapes? Not shooting fast action? First All-In-One? Then this lens is a great way to save yourself lots of money over the F4 version. Early spoiler from the upcoming comparison video: the extra money won't get you much in terms of better image quality... they are pretty close. It WILL get you the constant f4 and a better (though heavier) build. HUGE thanks to Lensrentals - my shipment was understandably delayed by the carrier due to the recent hurricane and historic local flooding.

Thanks! Almost exclusively RP and RF 24-105 F4-F7.1 here, though I mention the R6 and L version. I have a more direct comparison video here: ua-cam.com/video/GFiwXbcNM_0/v-deo.html
Curious to know your opinion on whether to get the 24-105L or this lens for my particular uses. I just upgraded from Fuji XT-30 to R8 (loving the new autofocus capabilities) and have in the past used my cameras most often when traveling with the family (over the shoulder all day while walking across [enter european city name here]). You mentioned hiking around a lot with the L lens which made me think I'd get used to the weight but there is something to be said for something that you barely notice (weight wise) around your shoulder while adventuring in a foreign country your 3 kids. That is to say, I don't travel for the photos, but I like taking them along the way. Appreciate your feedback.
If you're taking a lot of these shots indoors when you're traveling then maybe you want the constant f4. Otherwise, you nailed it - the STM is super light, will balance better with the R8, and you'll have lots of affordable used or refurb options to pick one up. Pair it with the 50mm and you'll have something fast when needed.
@@DanYosua Point taken. I wanted to run another idea by you - I have both the lenses at the moment (the L and the STM, ordered both so I can feel them out) and it’s crystal clear that traveling with the L is not going to work it’s heavy and unbalanced as you noted and would feel like a burden while touring around all day on the shoulder. That said, i can see the benefits of the L lens when not traveling, either around town, for portraits of the family or going to indoor events and even for kids sports. I’ve never traveled with a prime before but I know a lot of people swear by it, what are your thoughts on the idea of picking up the fast 35mm prime (or another option) and using that exclusively for all my travel vacations and keeping the 24-105L for when I’m home (returning the STM). I guess I’m struggling because I worried I will miss the F4 at 105. But maybe that’s not really that big a deal.
Yeah the L is "light" but only in comparison to the 24-70 😅 I totally get the worry about missing the f4 at 105mm. If I'm really not packing anything faster than f4, I'll rely on the 105mm end (or longer on the 70-200) to create a more pleasing background for a portrait. Sticking to one of those 16, 24, 35, 50, 85 primes on the R8 is going to feel MUCH more made for the body in terms of balance (judging from my RP in the past). But knowing WHICH one to recommend is a bit tricky. I published a new video yesterday about choosing a 28mm over the RF 35mm... The 35mm is great and I used it for a long time, but the 28mm fits my personal stuff a bit better now, and you can always crop. If you have time to check out that vid, you'll see pretty quickly how personal that choice was for me and why I hesitate on recommending a particular prime. If you love composing tightly, it's hard to go wrong with the 50mm because it is so cheap. In a pinch, with a static subject, you could stitch two shots when needed. But the 35mm is probably the best for what you've described. Wide enough for most, crop if you need. At 24, you risk being too wide for many scenarios. And 16mm is probably not what you want for general travel unless you already know that you do.
You've earned my subscription! I am new to the photography world , and bought my first camera *technically my second, although the first was a point and shoot my dad bought me when I was a very young kid.* I bought the eos rp, As my way of thinking is , if I end up liking it then I'll save alot of money by just buying a mid range camera and I can grow my skills with it and use more features later on if I like to or not. If I don't like it , then it is what it is. But if I love it *which I am set on achieving* then I'll be glad I made this purchase ! Anyways, I'm trying to figure out how to use my 24mm-105mm kit lens to the best of my ability
Congrats! Excellent for an early starter. I know that this combo stretches the budget for lots of people that are just looking to get into things... but for photo-first shooters that want to mix in some occasional video, this combo can last a long time and allows you to grow with the RF ecosystem as it becomes more built out in the coming years.
Thanks! And not just for b-roll - this is a great lens for figuring out which focal lengths you love before investing in more expensive lenses. It's a fitting all-rounder for travel and landscape, especially when paired with one of Canon's affordable primes. I use the F4 version, but I'm often using it at F8 or F11 whether I'm hiking or when taking product shots. For portraits, I personally would like to try to stay on the longer end of the focal range (70-105), and you can get some subject/background separation if you're thoughtful about where your subject is.
@DanYosua I have the EF version of the 24-105 f/4L but it's heavy add in the adaptor and it's even heavier. This is so much lighter and with the low light capabilities of the R6 it just makes sense to keep this version on the camera.
Hows it going after few months? I already have RF primes, longer 100-400 and now considering standard zoom and torn between EF 24-105 f4 and this RF 4-7.1. Did you have a chance to compare it? I already have adapter somewhere around…
When it's not too cumbersome, it's nice to have it recording some b-roll that I can add to show the seconds surrounding and following any given photo. Mostly useful for making these videos, social content, or in rare cases, maybe to catch a moment you missed on the photo camera. I would use this more often these days, but the HERO9 is getting pretty old and it's finicky to use quickly on the fly.
@palmasolutions yeah if you have one lying around, it’s pretty cheap to adapt it how you want with some combination of cold shoe/quarter 20/gopro mounting feet
So I wanted to upgrade to a fullframe camera, but I'm having a doubt. The canon RP + 24-105 f/4 L or canon R6 + 24-105 f/4-7. I know glass is the biggest priority, but the R6 really does have some major advantages over the RP: better autofocus, better battery life, better dynamic range, better ISO performance and ALOT more FPS when making photo's. Those advantages are also a big factor for me making a decision. What would you recommend? :) Edit: I also found out that the R6 combined with the 24-105 f/4-7, the lens and body are able to make use of the 8 stops stabilization!
That's a tough one. While there are differences in the 24-105's, the gap between the RP and R6 is pretty big. So my initial reaction, if you can stretch a bit is to go with that combo. But I think it depends what you have now, whether you will keep or sell that, and what you shoot. If you need the burst mode and plan to shoot lots of video/4k, extra nod to the R6. But if that's the only lens you'll have moving forward, and you won't have enough for one of the f1.8's... I know I would miss having at least one lower-light/portrait option. Depending on what you shoot with now, the R6 might feel big so a heads up there. The only other odd timing thing to keep in mind is that the R7 is rumored to come out this year. Potentially more than one body, too. And as far as I know still, is planned to have similarities to the R6 with a crop sensor. Maybe in that $1500-2000 range. My general rule for tech is to get what you need when you need it, but with a few exceptions. For example, I wouldn't recommend anyone buy the latest iPhone in July or August. If it were me, and I was curious to see the R7 first, and didn't need a new camera RIGHT NOW, I would probably wait until at least the announcement. Similarly, the RP was on discount around the holidays but is back to $999. That's a camera that might drop in price more permanently soon. R6 price is probably firm for the foreseeable future, and if you have interest in the R, that's still discounted from the holidays.
I think it depends how much you think you'll have fomo of the other range if you're only carrying around one. My 24-105 and 70-200 are probably my two most used lenses. And I like having that overlapping 70-105 when I just bring one. If you don't want the overlap and don't need the f4 (or f2.8), I'm sure a lot of people may start picking up the new RF 100-400 instead of a 70-200, if they already own a 24-105.

This, the 16mm & the 100-400 5.6 will be the holy trinity for amateurs. Keep it up dog
I need to watch some more about these as they come out but am excited to see them making both!
Is R8 with 16mm f/2.8, 24-105 f/4-7.1 & 100-400 f/5.6-8 good for travel photography, especially touring on bike.
Those are all relatively light, so if you can fit all three then you'll have pretty solid, capable coverage.
Hi, great video; why the GoPro on top?? For pictures, video??
@@cheranguista thanks! Yeah, I’m too for “pov” b-roll when out shooting. I’ve gotten away from it, but hoping to bring it back more often this year.
you earned the likes my guy
Too kind 😁
I liked this with different account because my brother has earned more than 1 like this man is a W🎉
Thanks for the dedication haha
