@@DanYosua instructional, I could Google it but it'd be good to have a video from you, could be a niche for your new enterprise.

I rock an rp with the 24-105 f4, 70-200 f4, and an ef 50 1.8. Great little amateur package to start with. Eventually going to move toward a better camera body. But until then, I’m super happy with things as an amateur enthusiast getting back into photography after an extremely long break.
Shooting anything less than F4 in bright light will blow everything out anyway. When people start to understand the sweet spots of their lenses, they'll become better photographers.
Upgraded to this amazing lens from the STM F4- lonely 7.1 kit lens and this L version is my favorite do it all travel/general purpose lens. It's on my R5 99% of the time. This lens is an excellent all-rounder and also an excellent video lens!
My next video is another check in on this lens after a few years and after using it on my recent trip to Ireland. Spoiler: it gets a lot of travel use for me too!
great video like always. I'd love if you could go over your photo editing process. i like the way you color grade, giving it that slightly more than life feel, but not taking it too far
Glad to hear you don't think it's too far 😅 For the last few months I've pushed myself to go heavier on the edits to try to learn a bit more in Lightroom. Sometimes I feel it's too far but it has helped me a lot to experiment. I'll definitely do something this summer like that, more than just some speed editing. Trying to time it so I can tweak and release some free presets 👌🏻
Awesome re-review Dan! 😁👍 Since our daughter was born a few weeks ago, I’m using this 24-105 F4 much more and as you said: it is very convenient to use the different focal lengths. That sweet depth of field is not so possible at F4, but I can live with it. Also as a beginner, didn’t maxed out the potential of this great Allrounder yet.
I have 35mm prime and 70-200 but I feel I’m missing out on the middle range… and for my next travel I want to carry just 1 lens 😢😭 so I might be converted to 24-105!
Hi, i recently got the R7 and i am thinking of buying the RF 24-105 F4. Currently i have my EF-S 17-55 F 2.8 with an adapter. Is there huge difference in image quality compared to my current 17-55? Would you advice me buying the RF 24-105? Thanks in advance
Ooo, how are you liking the R7 so far? It's been awhile since I used the 17-55, last with my T7i. I don't have them both in hand but the 24-105 is probably a little bit sharper. Personally I would be considering 1) Do you want the weather sealing to match the body and 2) Do you want to get a lot more reach on the long end. If you don't have anything longer than 55, the long end will be fun. But 17 vs 24 is a big jump too, and I would miss that range. So just consider that along with what you shoot most and what other lenses you have.
@@DanYosua i love the R7. I am mainly doing video projects and the 4k fine is amazing. Also having the 10bit clog3 is amazing. Still learning how to work with it but so far is great. 4k 60fps is also something that i needed. I decided not to buy any lens now. Will wait for the new RF-s to come out soon
@@EvoWorkout Good to hear! It may take them awhile for new ones, but waiting is never a bad play. If you don't need it for jobs, or a really special trip, waiting is almost never bad.
Lookin forward to a video on the RF 14-35! I'm leaning towards this over the 15-35 because of the size, cost and weight. I'm also interested in trying astro photography, so a video helping with that would be cool too. Like focal lengths, apertures, camera settings, etc. I'm not educated in editing so hopefully I can get some good images or of the camera. When it comes to editing my videos, I just splice them together without color grading.
I just saw it was officially announced! I'm pretty intrigued by it as well. Seems like it has a super close focusing distance, but because of the occasional astro, I'm not sure if I'll ever buy it at f4. I think it would work great for me otherwise. I'll have to see as we get closer to release. I'm hoping to review my 14mm shortly after getting back from my trip, hopefully one of the July videos!
Great video man. I'm also using T7i rn and was thinking about getting the RP over 6Dmkii and 90D. but I might w8 for the R3 since it might be the BEST hybrid camera from canon hopefully without any overheating and recording limit.
That would be a huge jump. I'm hoping there are better thermals but at the same time, if indeed there will be an R1, I think R3 might still be stills first 😅 I shoot probably 75% of my stills vertical so I'm looking at the grip to get closer to that form factor.
Great video! How do you like the pack? I have a ton of packs I've used here on the channel but none that do both well - Carrying my camera gear and being a great hiking bag. I have had my eyes on Fstop for a while. Were some of those shots in Evergreen Colorado? Look's like my backyard!
Thanks! I'll def check out some of your vids for some gear opinions as I get more into that. We did most of our hikes around Boulder and Estes.. I don't think we got quite as far south as you, but I'll note that area for next time. I honestly searched forever and I don't think there are that many GREAT options. I'm still loving it, and have been meaning to push a video up in my queue about it. But I also went with something this big so that it could hold everything. If I didn't have a need for a "mobile gear closet", I would have gone smaller because, as you might expect, it's heavy. On those hikes, I would often settle on what I wanted to pack camera-wise and would leave the rest. For longer hikes (and especially at altitude and being out of shape with covid) I didn't bring much camera gear. If I went smaller I was probably leaning shimoda x30 over the fstop lotus 32 but another tough call. The one downside is that this bag probably works best if you use a water bladder. The side pockets can hold the peak design tripod but that's tight. Bigger water bottles are too wide to fit nicely in the zip up side pockets. So I'll often either put my bottle in the bigger of the two top pockets and/or clip it to the hip belt. But so far that's my one nitpick.
@@DanYosua not bad I'd say, it gets the job done when you really wanna go wide when you can't afford the 15-35mm (Like myself lol). I used it in Iceland and actually sold a landscape shot that I took with it on the R8.
@@Brianmc2134 oh sick, that must have been an awesome trip and a great feeling! Iceland is high on my list but we'll see when it happens. Affordability has kept me away from the 15-35 so far too.
How is the dust sealing on this particular RF lens? I've heard photographers having a nightmare with Tamron and Sigma's current 24-70 due to dust getting sucked in to the lens due to poor sealing on the extending lens barrel. To your knowledge, does the RF F4 24-105mm L have a filter between the extending barrel and the main barrel to prevent dust from getting sucked into the lens? Or in your extensive use of the lens, have you detected any issues with dust [long term use]?
Not sure how I missed this so long and not positive on the filter. I believe there is some kind of seal, but I don't think it can be a totally airtight. I haven't had any issues whatsoever yet, but in the grand scheme, I still haven't had this lens all that long despite using it frequently (purchased May 2020).
I generally think it's great for that type of use case, but if you know you prefer ultra wide shooting, then you might feel you're missing out. I have a newer vid NZ where I brought this. There are a few instances where I shot some panos or pulled out my iPhone specifically for the ultra wide lens. I want to have something wider in my bag eventually, but typically feel comfortable with 24mm. In a perfect world, the next iteration would be the exact same footprint but a 20-105 🤞Do you have the 16mm by any chance?
@@DanYosua I’ll check out that vid! I used to have a 16mm but I sold it:(. I also have the RF 15-35 but decided to rent the 24-105 f4 because I only have enough Room to pack 1 lens with me. That’s a great idea about shooting a pano , thanks ! I think I’ll take the 24-105 then
Gotcha. The 15-35mm is something I've been eying for years, but if I could only take one, still the 24-105mm for me as I like punching in on landscapes like that as well. Have a blast, sounds like a great trip!
Of course, anything in particular that you'd like answered? I'm working on a whole bunch of vids at one and one of them is loosely "RP vs R6 for photo-first shooters"... but willing to incorporate elements that you would like to see!
I’m still pretty new to photography right now I’ve been doing a lot of portrait pictures with a lot of bokeh in the background. But how do you take pictures like the ones you’re showing? Where everything looks like it’s focused? Right now I’m using a canon R with a rf 50mm but I’m renting a rf 70-200 f4 and a 24-70 f2.8.
I used to shoot everything 1.8-2.8 early on, but to get that look, try shooting between f5.6 and f11. Just go out for a day and lock yourself at f8 to practice. It will really force you to improve your composition skills too, as you can't blur out distracting elements as easily. If you practice shooting stopped down like this for a bit you will likely notice you'll be learning all sorts of new stuff. I should have embraced it wayyyy earlier myself!
@@DanYosua Me: *screen shots boss mans comment* thank you now I just gotta practice it. And I found your channel just the other day normally it takes me a while to subscribe to people but after two videos I had to subscribe I love your content 👁👄👁
Pretty lovely because you have the constant F4 and 8 stops of IS. I was using this for youtube before the 35 in 4k24 and often take several 120 clips when I hike so I can put together short, vertical vids of some slow mo between still shots.
Man, you are talking fast. While you are talking fast you show waaaay too much info on the screen. I think if you made this a 10 minute video with exactly the same information it would e perfect.
That's good feedback, it's a tough balance though. Most people like a tight video on UA-cam, and it's partly why I think this video is getting shown so much 😅 Hopefully 0.75x speed works well for ya
What did I miss??
What's up dog! I got the 15-35, to go with my 24-70, so that's cool
That's a great combo! Hoping to rent the 15-35 at some point, perhaps for an astro trip
@@DanYosua can you make an astro video? I liked the time-lapse at your old apt, just saw the video today
@@dudedavid522 like more instructional or specifically with that 15-35 if I rent?
