I'm a couple years late to this party, but wanted to thank you for the review. I just bought this lens, and wasn't expecting a lot from it. I haven't been feeling especially creative lately, but t turned out I had so much fun shooting with this lens! There is a real sense of freedom., especially when threading on Canon''s 500D closeup filter. The images are easily good enough for social media posting, and scouting ideas and locations on my 20Mpix camera. It was so easy to just go outdoors, switch on the camera, zoom and shoot handheld,; a real cure for creative block.
I'm glad you are enjoying it!
I have a 14-140 lens for my current M4/3 system and have used before the 28-300 on my Nikon camera before. These 10x zooms are pretty much the same - one cannot expect miracles. Having said that, they are absolutely perfect for a vacation. During my last recreational trip, I carried 4 lenses in Istanbul. 3 were left in the hotel room and only used the super zoom. The freedom of 1) not changing lenses even once for days and 2) being able to shoot across the Bosporus strait even, was a bliss. And on occasions like that some softness in the corners or a bit less sharpness and contrast are negligible. You are there for the experience and the memories, not on a photographic competition.
I think this take is exactly right.
I got this lens with my EOS R6 and used it daily now for 2 months, makes me happy every day! I've used Nikon DX, FX, Olympus M4/3, Fujifilm X and I have never encountered a superzoom that delivers such amazing results. As a pixelpeeper I look for flaws all the time and if you let the auto correction do it's thing, it's hard to find anything wrong with this lens.
Glad you're enjoying it.
Recently got this lens. I’m a landscape photographer and do a lot of mountain climbing. I can now go from 3 lens down to 1 and with IBS being so good I leave my tripod at home also. Not my go to lens on regular trips but if I’m concerned about weight it’s the only lens I take.
Great review that cleared up a few questions I had about this lens. I love the detail that you went into on this. Keep up the good work!
Glad it was helpful!
InstaBlaster.
Wow, that mechanical vignette is crazy! Add on the missing hood, you can really see Canon was going for cost savings on this. My first lens I bought when I got my first full frame camera, an A7ii, was the Sony FE 24-240mm. It was angriest beginner all purpose zoom range and while it's not a spectacular lens, it really doesn't have excellent image quality for its versatility. For travel or times when really only one lens to do it all from wide 24mm to a tele-photo 240mm, the are very convenient. I really didn't find any major flaws with the Sony. I ended up selling it as I got into faster primes and zooms naturally but there are times where I wish I still had it. Im not always trying to go for super artistic photography. Sometimes you just want to go light and get shots.
And that's exactly the reason why a lens like this does have value.
Cost savings? This lens is pretty expensive...
wow, half way through I forgot about the lens and focused on the fine details of the review, thank you!!
I hope that's a good thing...
Dustin Abbott It is most definitely. For the past 25 years I've designed digital cameras, not anymore so photography is fun again. I like the technical facts and no nonsense/fanboy approach. Appreciate all the work that goes into this! Thanks.
On The RP you auto lock focus and as soon as you touch the ring it goes to 5x zoom and lets you focus where you want. That bird behind the bushes.
The lens did pretty well than I expected. I love this kind of non-biased review.
Thanks for the good feedback.
Looks like you had FUN with this lens ......and yes indeed, in the digital world,
and especially on lower-priced lenses, correcting lens aberrations with
software will become the new normal. Good review ! Thanks
Thanks for the feedback...and yes, I did have a good time with it.
Love this style of review. Keep up the good work ! Brother
Thanks for the feedback.!
28:58 I love that shot of yours. I am getting this lens from the eos RP kit, and I am glad I saw your review. I was planning on selling the lens because of the good deal I got from the kit but I actually want to keep it after your review. I am used to see awfull sharpness from super zoom lenses, and I found this one very much usable unlike before. Maybe I will start taking more care about the pictures I take than the actually sharpness of it also, which is a very good thing. Being able to free your mind while composing and taking pictures is a very nice thing to find. Was tricky to jump to mirrorless for me as I was shooting with 5d mark II until now, I found the A7iii a very good choice, but I find myself to enjoy shooting much more with canon's ergonomic. The new r5 and r6 made me buy the RP with confidence of Canon's future mirrorless capabilities. As usual, thank you very much for your review, with many greetings from Belgium.
I'm glad it helped out.
@@DustinAbbottTWI I ended up returning it. Not because of the 24-240 but because of the RP. CR3 is not fully supported by lightroom and doesn't have proper color managment and that wasn't mention by any review I watched. I tried DPP and found great result. But in the end I felt like these new technologies are not yet well established. Also the EVF gives me pain in the eye as I am very much sensitive to blue light. I didn't expected that either. So I finally found the best camera for me and I didn't expected that: the eos 200d. It has CR2, not the 3 like the 250d. And it has an OVF, not the best but still very nice to me. And the same articulated screen with dual pixel auto focus. the 24mp APSC has actually much better dynamic range than the RP at half the price. Of corse I won't have the same ISO performance but it is good enough up to 6400, not 12800. I will also have nice use of my EF glass on it as the center of the optic will be nice and bright on the APCS. This 24mp also matchs the IQ and details when comparing to the new sensors. I also found that the new R line up is priced very much to the top just because it is a fully new system and Canon wants to make the best benefit out of the "change all your gear" effect. The lenses comes at a very high price without any weather sealing or lens houd. I found a dust inside the lens 24-240 after 2 days of use!!! for a lens that ships on its own at 900$ I find it a very bad long term investment. I am gonna wait 2 or 3 more years to have CR3 fully understood by software ingeneers and Sigma, Tamron providing good quality, descent weather sealed optics. In the meanwhile I feel like OVF is still going to let me enjoy the 200d for a very long time if not 10 years.
Greetings from Germany (like to see after all the years the 'Gorch Fock' on the back of the old ten DM banknote 😏) and thx for sharing this video. Great work. 👍🏻
A lot of Germans have said the same!
Dustin Abbott ... ha! So I‘am not alone. 😄
Reminds me a lot to the Canon EFM 18-150 ... I use that one on a M6 (with electronic viewfinder)
for daily carry and I am continiously surprised by the Images coming out of the Camera.
Interestingly the long End of the Focal Range of 150 combined with the Crop Factor of
the EOS-M System Equals at 240mm of this 24-240 R Lens.
As always, nice Work on your Side, really apreaciate your Expertise!
Stay healthy, Marc
That's an interesting point, Marc. I too was impressed with the 18-150, feeling like I got better images in many instances than expected.
Good to hear that from you!
The 18-150 is certainly not up to the 24-70 EF L that I use utilizing the Canon Adapter, a whole different World in Image Quality.
However, the 18-150 is so light and small, its that easy to carry around in every Day use and makes it possible to catch a Bird or something.Thats the Plus :-)
Apreaciate your Work and continious Effort!
Stay healthy and warm with all trhat Snow still around :-)
I love that bank note - that German one
It is a nice-looking bill.
Frame 6:35 - Suggestion - Always put a UV filter on all your lens to protect the glass. Break the filter and replace it, Only about $25 - Well done review. Gary from Michigan 🚂
Dustin... wow. The amount of effort, detail and work you put into these videos is incredible. It's extremely refreshing to view your well done videos to get some good info. Thank you for the work that you do, and done by a fellow Canadian to top it off! Cheers from Manitoba
Additionally, I find it pretty wild how this lens doesn't have an AF-MF mode, can't manually override autofocus, doesn't come with a lens hood or gasket, and has that wicked mechanical vignetting... seems a little ridiculous!
There are definitely some compromises there...though the lens is still appealing nonetheless.
@@DustinAbbottTWI The way I've combated this is setting it up to allow override of AF when half holding the shutter button. This is on a EOS RP.
Thanks for your review of this versatile lens and I've just now gone ahead and purchased this from Amazon for my Safari to Masai Mara starting next week
. I had purchased the Canon EOS R and rented two Sigma Prime lenses - a 500 mm f/4 lens and a Sigma 135 mm f/1.8 for wildlife but was looking at which lens to buy for general travel shoots.......your review dear Dustin was perfect for making me make my mind inspite of the faults.....to go in for this 24-240 mm F 4-6.3 IS 👌👍
Thanks for your high quality reviews
I'm based in Jaipur India
Have a great time!
The images look amazing actually, at least on YT.
That's the thing - it can produce very good images if you don't get caught up in pixel peeping.
Thanks very much for making this review. Very informative.
My pleasure!
Although I am not the “superzoom” guy, I believe this lens is worth considering and not only for the versatility. The image quality is excellent for the lens’ parameters and actually very decent in general terms. It also easily bests the Sony equivalent, although that lens is still interesting for Sony users.
Interesting. And what are you basing the Sony comparison on (just out of curiosity)?
Dustin Abbott On samples from trusted sources on the web, an example of which is Bryan Carnathan’s the-digital-picture. While the two lenses can’t be compared directly, since they are used on different cameras, the Canon lens looks much better, at least to my eyes.
Great Video, I have had this lense for about 6 months, I like it! the 24-240 range cover the majority of the focal lenght's i use thanks for sharing
Glad you are enjoying it.
Thanks for the great review. Coming from APS-C cameras D30, 10D, 40D, 70D, I've recently switched to the EOS-R. With the crop sensor bodies, travelling was always my 16-35L and 24-105 L. Bit of a pain to carry the extra lens, but the 24 on a crop sensor was often too long, and 105 very often too short. The 24-240 on a full-frame seems to be a great range for "I only want to carry 1 lens on vacation" I recently sold a bit of gear and got the 24-240 as my first RF lens. I have not really had a chance to shoot anything serious with it yet, so this review makes me feel better about my purchase. Yes, the vignetting is pretty odd, but since it's so easily correctable, it didn't factor in my decision at all. Bottom line, it's a compromise lens, for me chosen specifically for vacation shooting. If I want to shoot a serious landscape, I'll grab my 16-35, or if I'm specifically shooting wildlife, my 400 or 100-400 (though I'm hoping Sigma comes out with a decent RF zoom up to 500 or 600) Love your videos and bonus points for the Golden Retrievers!
This is a great vacation lens.
I have this lens with the R6, perfect except in low light
David Young i was wondering about this pairing. I am using the R6 for travel and as a second cam. This might be a good purchase for me. Have you tried it with video yet?
Interesting. The lower resolution of the R6 is a better match for this lens.
I'm always happy to see the 10 Deutsche Mark Banknote in the IQ section. Good old times (until 2002)
I hear that often.
It's sharper in the corners over the 24-105 STM f4-7.1 model. Fantastic extra reach. But double the weight. Awesome lens though.
Glad you are enjoying it.
Excellent review, as usual. Thanks a lot Dustin
My pleasure!
Shout out to JJC for affordable lens hoods! LOL It is odd that a travel lens wouldn't have better weather sealing. That is when we're much more likely to be caught off guard by the weather.
Canon is really locked into a certain approach to their non-L lenses, and yes, it doesn't make sense in a lens like this.
I have an RP with a 24-105 F4 and is considering switching to this one instead of carrying another 70-300 lens for traveling convenience. I am a hobbyist and only posting photos in social media and a JPEG shooter. Do you think I will regret the move?? By the your reviews always earns my best regards...
It doesn't sound like you need hard-core image quality, so I suspect you would do just fine in that arrangement.
Dustin Abbott Thank you for the reply! It’s always a pleasure watching your videos
This lens is a steal if you get it in the kit version with the RP.
That can be a real advantage.
For what it is, the image quality is really really good. If Sony would have something in the same league, I would buy it. The Sony version is as soft as you would expect it to be for this type of lens.
Canon goes the way of digital correction and I think, that this is the right way, as they don’t have to internally correct them to a level where the images get soft because of the corrections. As long I don’t see a degeneration in image quality let’s go for digital lens corrections. 🙌
Fair enough - though on Sony you have access to the Tamron 28-200mm RXD, which is actually very good optically.
@@DustinAbbottTWI As the Tamron is just a 28-xxxmm it is out. It's the same with the 28-75mm F2.8. You can crop easily from 200mm to 240mm, but there is no option to get the 24mm. These lenses are all about versatility and 28mm is just not common anymore.
Is this compatible with canon r50? Thanks
Hi Dustin, many thanks for the review. Your style is awesome, technical, objective. Keep on like this!
I am mainly a jpeg shooter and use the camera mostly for casual shots or travel photography. I am able to appreciate good image quality, but really not pretending anything stellar. a
I have used so far m4/3 equipment from Olympus and i am thinking of switching to full frame, mostly for better high ISO handling, and i am considering the eos rp plus this superzoom, paired with the rf 35mm 1.8 for low light/indoor situations. Do you think this can be a wise way to invest? Thanks
Canon's JPEGs are very good, so this seems like a logical jump to me.
The Tamron 35-150mm F2.8-4 (225mm crop mode) is pretty much the same price and seems hard to pass on for an F6.3 "super" all-round lens even adapted. Great vid.
The Tamron is optically impressive, for sure. I would love to see a mirrorless version with a better focus system. It would be fantastic!
@@DustinAbbottTWI the spinning focus ring can get quite annoying.
Great video, I believe the lens will allow manual focus on the fly if you half press the shutter button.
Unfortunately that's not true.
@@DustinAbbottTWI It's disabled by default. Set "Lens electronic MF" to "One-Shot->enabled" and you'll be able to use manual focus when half-pressing the shutter button.
Thanks for going through the raw images like that, looking for a general walk-in around lens for my RED Komodo and this looks like a great option, at super 35 the quality issues that you see on the full frame images seem to be much more negligible.
Glad it was helpful!
Why are they negligible?
Because is cropped out the far edges of the lenses image circle, where the worst offending vignette and CA happen. 100mm on this lens looks fantastic.
It would be nice if you would review the Sony fe 24-240 and compare it to this one
That would be nice, though unfortunately it is unlikely (particularly right now). It is very difficult to get specific loaners at the same time from two different companies.
Interested in seeing comparison Sony 24-240 Canon 24-240 and Nikon 24-200. In the DSLR days Nikon 28-300VR was a stellar lens outperformed all competitors and at long end even punched above its weight to some serious 300mm zoom contenders.
Hi Frank - I probably won't be doing that comparison. It's actually hard for me to get Canon samples here in Canada, so I have them only one at a time.
@@DustinAbbottTWI Canon needs a higher pixel body to justify its mega RF lenses capabilities as well as price tag. On current RP and R bodies, 24-240 is kind of good enough. Either way enjoyed your review, thanks!
Excellent review! Thank you. I know what to expect and what apertures to use for best results right from first use.
Glad it was helpful!
I agree totally with you on this one, I used it for it convenient range while traveling over my usuals of 2.8s , swapping it out for the RF 35f/1.8 for low light shooting. However if you haven’t already the RF70-200 f/2.8 is stunningly compact, similar to the other trinity lenses.
I am really, really looking forward to the RF 70-200, though I'm first covering the new Tamron 70-180 for Sony (it's on the way to me now).
Im thinking seriously about foregoing the kit lenses, and just getting the r6 body and this as my sole walk around lens. Is that crazy? Any downsides to that ? (The plan after is to save up and get the rf 85mm ds and just the rf nifty fifty as i mainly do family portraits, but would rather hear if thats flawed plan before diving in). Thanks for all your spectacular insights and content!!!
This lens isn't amazing optically, but it is very useful as a focal length. It will fill most of your needs until you can upgrade other lenses in the future.
Dustin Abbott awesome thanks!
Thank you. Your summation in the end is very informative.
See the thing is that today phone cameras have 10x digital zoom and are able to offer many good images through AI processing. So why would anyone want to buy this lens to produce average images that could possibly be worse than those shot by say a top end Samsung / Pixel / iPhone?
In this day and age the only differentiator that justifies a dedicated camera set up is the unarguably superior optical image quality offered by a large sensor in the camera paired with a well-made lens with at least an f4 constant aperture.
Every other image can be produced and even bettered by phone cameras.
Am I right? Or am I talking through the wrong end?
I'm not saying that this isn't possible, but to date I have not reviewed a phone camera that could compare to a dedicated camera with a real sensor. There's only so much that you can do with processing. But at the same time, your general point is valid. I agree that the bigger differentiator will be the large sensor camera with good glass on it.
Did you use any of the EOS - R onboard lens aberration corrections such as the peripheral illumination correction or distortion correction or perhaps the digital lens optimizer? Would any of these attributes make a difference with the pictures? Has firmware been issued for this particular lens?
Hi Carl - all of the things you mention do make a difference (and were on), but only affect JPEG images. If you shoot JPEGs, then I would recommend having all of those on, as yes, it will make a difference to your final results. This review looks at RAW images primarily, which actually produces better results in the end with appropriate processing.
Hey Dustin, Could you review the RF 24-70mm??? PLEASE! I know it's not particularly exciting but there are not many UA-cam reviews on it and I'm not sure whether to drop all that $$ on it!
Hi Gavin, I'd love to, but I'm highly restricted by what Canon Canada has available to loan me (and they have very limited loaners). Furthermore, they've been out of office for three months due to COVID, so it has not been a great season for RF loaners.
Dustin Abbott no worries! Its a bummer of a time atm. Thanks for all you do. Iv been watching your videos for years 👍
Thanks for this review. I have the new R5 and am re-evaluating my lens collection, selling some of the EF glass and looking to add a few RF lenses. This, the 35 f/1.8, and the 24-105 mm f/4 are currently on the list as well as the 100-500 (I do have the EF 100-400 mk 2 so the 1-500 is not that important and even less so given its price). Do you plan to revisit any of your older lens reviews with the 45 MP R5 with the advanced AF system? I am wondering if I should wait a bit longer. Most of my shooting is done with top EF prime glass that canon probably won’t replace for a while, I suspect. So one or two of the lowest cost RF lenses will fit the bill nicely for me. Thanks again.
I’ll definitely be switching to R5 for evaluating future lenses, and I might do a fresh evaluation episode or two on my existing lenses in my kit.
Dustin Abbott That would all be very helpful. Thanks.
Please do a review of the Sony 24-240mm.
I'd like to at some point. I'm having to work through the back catalog of older Sony lenses and catch up with them.
How would this lens go with event photography? I have one and the Canon R6. I've been volunteered by my local Lions Club to shoot an upcoming community event. I'm a retired hobbyist, so my level of expertise, at best, would be rank amateur, I suppose. I need to shoot images of people eating a free breakfast, of local dignitaries on stage giving speeches, and so on. It's an outside event and early morning. As it's summer here, it could be bright or if overcast, not so bright.
Thanks
It would probably work okay for that. It's not my favorite lens optically, but that focal range would obviously be useful.
Very versatile travel lens :)
Exactly.
Nice review. It would be nice to compare IQ to the direct competitor: Sigma Art 135mm F1.8. I bought a used one for $900 and IQ looks truly amazing.
Ummm, are you sure you posted this on the right thread? The Canon 24-240mm is in no way a direct competitor to the Sigma 135A
@@DustinAbbottTWI Hah. Yes, you're right. I was watching "Sony 135mm F1.8 G Master: Definitive Review" and looks like autoplay switched it to the next video before I commented, sorry.
The Sony is better, but the Sigma is optically very good. Where it doesn't really complete is in autofocus performance. The Sony is better by orders of magnitude.
AF/MF issue should be solved with a firmware update, so that the existing switch does both.
That would probably work. I'm just surprised that none of this was part of the design philosophy to begin with.
@@DustinAbbottTWI Well, maybe it was, just they did not have non-L zooms so far. I think they will stick with 2 rings on them. And no hoods.
If you wanna take one zoom lens from 24-240mm and 24-105mm f4-7.1 with EOS RP for a general travel purpose, which one will you choose?
I haven't tested the 24-105. I would be more tempted by the 24-105 F4L IS, actually.
Do you think this lens is better than the tramron 100-400
Not optically, no. One shouldn't expect a 10x zoom to beat a 4x zoom optically. It just adds versatility.
Very interesting review. I was thinking of buying the 24-240 for my RP, but now I'll hold off for a little while at least until I go on my next vacation. I did buy a Canon EF 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 and have been quite happy for the 160$ I spent on it.
Btw, have you looked into a software called Denoise AI? I've been using it to sharpen and denoise my pictures taken with cheap lenses and it's awesome. I would wager it's game changing. It uses AI to add detail in the image that wasn't actually there. The Clear AI setting on auto works the best in my experience. Check it out!
Someone else mentioned that program as well.
hi there , really nice review :) . i would have some question for you plz. When you say we will look at the profile applied because there is too much distorsion. is the correction applied automatically ? like if im streaming with it, or it needs correction after ,so in my case would be a problem? i'm gonna buy the RP and i was wondering which lens choose with the kit (the 24-105 or the 24-240 for only 80$ more . i will do nature photos and portrait but mostly live streaming . tyvm for your help :) .
The correction will be automatically provided.
Dustin Abbott tyvm!!
Well, nobody can accuse Canon of not using computational photography anymore. We can see here with this lens they are using it in spades! Kind of repulsive to me the extreme vignette and distortion. I thought oh he's just got the lens hood on sideways, I've done that and that's how it looks, but NO, it's built in!!! I suppose it all depends on the final result but wow, really. Good information though I NEVER expected such built-in lens flaws from Canon, regardless of it being non L. I suppose it will be transparent to most amateurs, and maybe not matter but still that thing lists for $900 bucks at Best Buy, maybe if it was three or four hundred it would be more sensible to me. Glad you did the review, really a good heads-up. God bless, stay safe! PS Shoot deer not people, at least with a gun.
It was definitely a bit of a surprise, but that's probably how they got to 24mm when many such lenses start at 28mm
This lens lists for 506$ on eBay new open box. Welcome to the mirrorless world where lens correction is the norm. I'd rather have a smaller lens that is corrected in camera then a large lens that still needs some correction.
And I think that attitude is exactly what they are banking on.
17:18 Where did you get the 'Bank Of Israel' note? This is a rare piece!
I bought it in the souk in Old City Jerusalem back in 2008.
@@DustinAbbottTWI Nice:)
Third party lens hoods are cheap enough so no gripe there really but Canon could give you one for a few pence but the cost of a weather seal at the mount end would be even fewer pence so it's just Canon being mean. Given the picture quality on this lens is almost as good as L series lens does that mean you are paying 3 times the price for a rubber weather seal and a lens hood?
First of all, I don't think this lens is near L series in IQ, but you're right about Canon being ridiculous with non-L lenses and excluding basics like a hood and at least a gasket at the lens mount.
Hi dustin. Are you going to get hold of the rf kit lense
24 105 f4 7.1
Probably at some point, though it's not a personal priority for me.
@@DustinAbbottTWI ok. would be really curious to see it side by side against the double price f4 version.
how this one compares to EF-M 18-150 mm?
Someone else mentioned that comparison, and it isn't one I had considered. It's a good one, though. Both lenses achieve similar results for different systems.
In case you missed it or just don’t know him. 08:24 to 09:11. Thats the closest to angry Dustin has ever been.
LOL. Frustrated, for sure.
Zehn Deutsche Mark didn't see that for a long time and didn't expect it to see it in a lens review from a Canadian :)
I actually collected world currency for a while, and people love seeing their native currency on the chart.
@@DustinAbbottTWI ex-native currency ;)
I’m surprised, I don’t think much of the images, especially skin tones. Something just off, to much yellow, my experience is Canon is usually blue, I actually like that....first pro canon type lens I was not liking the colors. Very surprised
I don't know that calling it a "pro lens" is appropriate. It's really a consumer lens. But yes, it definitely has a warm tone to it.
Can you explain the new buttons. Old was AF OR MF the new says Focus or control. Which means auto focus? Control means auto focus?
Focus means that you use the ring for manual focus. Control means that you use it like a control ring on RF lenses, which can be assigned different functions. Aperture, etc...
@@DustinAbbottTWI Thank you!!!
Hey Dustin, I am disappointed. It's not really a Dustin Abbott review if that fireplace isn't blowing smoke across the frame into your face. Please fix that next time.
I do my best work when I'm miserable ;)
Yes, CANON! 👍
A fan, I take it?
@@DustinAbbottTWI YES! Heavly invested with Canon...20 L lenses and 11 bodies.
Also heavily with the Fujifilm system...10 Fuji lenses and 7 XT bodies. I'm so paranoid when leaving my house, I ended up buying two thick 1,000 lbs gun safes just for camera gears LOL 😆
FUJI + CANON = FUJINON 😍
What is an in camera profile
Canon calls this "Lens Aberration Correction", and it is an electronic profile that will correct for some optical shortcomings (vignette, distortion, etc...)
👍
keeping the original 24-105 L, even if its heavier.
The 24-105 is still a cut above optically, though it offers less than half the zoom range.
Im at a loss for these reviews.
Years and years inreviews we are driven towards more expensive lenses having better optical performance. And now e re told it s not that of an issue.
It s a really shit lens from anoptical perspective. You 're getting cropped images, not using the entire full frame format. No one is calculating the pixel loss. Sigma and Tamron have far better options.
What s happening. Reviewers getting afraid that Canon won t send them the next lens for free?
With all due respect, this is a pretty critical review. And Canon has never, ever given me a free lens, so you're are making flawed assumptions. The bigger problem here (on Canon) is that there aren't any Sigma or Tamron RF mount lenses. It has been a closed system, so lenses like this are not getting the kind of competition that drives better lens design.
@DustinAbbottTWI Given yout review you got me wondering it s a sent down lens.
For the quality mark: We agree on that. But given the quality RF EF adaptor rings the whole EF range is available as well. I think every Canon R owner has an adapter ring. Not loosing anything in optical or electronical camer or AF performance. My 2.8 Lenses actually perform better on the R8 adapted platform. So these lenses imo could and should be compared to their EF Sigma and Tamron full frame counterparts. And then they would loose big time. Being also waaaay to expensive.
No one is doing that: I saw so many reviewers giving this lens " the benefit of the doubt" that I truly started wondering what was true. Years of true optical performance review education or acceptance of in camera or in app significant corrections. Then I ll stick to true optical performance. And giving your extensive quality reviews I think you ll do the same.
Im the first, lol
I guess you were!
Little consumer grade lenses don't need weather sealing, nobodies expecting someone who buys something like this to be going out hiking in the jungles or exploring the African desert.
Also the autofocus on the EOS R is great, maybe you're not using it correctly or just stupidly comparing a random consumer lens to a G master one.
The autofocus is fine; the tracking when combined with burst rate is definitely not. 5 FPS is not sufficient to tracking action.
@@DustinAbbottTWI This is why people buy the 1DX or new EOS R5 :p.
Little consumer grade? This thing isn’t cheap. I’d rather get a Tamron which has weather sealing! It’s that mentality that allow companies to get away with this behavior. I don’t expect every lens to have weather sealing but at least one consumer zoom and prime. People go on hikes, people go on vacations and stuff happen.
This is one of the worst superzooms available at the moment. Considering the optical performance of the Tamron 28-200, seeing the mechanical vignetting and distortion should really be embarrassing for Canon.
I agree.
