I recently bought myself the 24-70 2.8 for my 7D and I love this lens I was shooting a music festival over the weekend and was super happy with the results
This lens also works masterfully on the GH5 for video. The sharpness and color is fantastic, throw is long enough to manually focus accurately, and when you speedboost it with the Metabones XL it becomes a 1.8 which makes the majority of lowlight not an issue at all.
I just ordered one used with an adapter to use it on my R6 mark ii. This is a huge investment for my budget but I hope this will last me k definitely and serve me well.
Good video, but......Each photographer will find their own favorite lens. For me, the 24-70mm is so wimpy on the telephoto end I hated using it. I sold mine. I gravitate to the 24-105 because it has so much more reach and is better for headshots. I've never had a situation where I had to have that extra f/stop of light from f/4 to f/2.8. Today's cameras (along with software) can easily handle using a higher ISO setting to get adequate shutter speeds. I know the 24-70mm f/2.8 is extremely popular with wedding and event photographers. I shoot events and weddings with the 24-105mm f/4.0, get better bokeh at 105mm than 70mm and more flattering distant perspectives for shooting portraits.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I want to do some car photography and looking at the f4 24-105 lens. Is this lens decent in low light/ at night in city let’s say?
@@Durtyrags It's a full one stop slower than the f/2.8. It really depends on how your camera handles higher ISO settings and your own personal tolerance for noise. It's very subjective.
You are right. I‘ve shot concerts with the 24-105 and with a good, modern full frame body I never worried about noise even with ISO set to 4000 or 6400. The lens itself is very nice too and in the end it’s just my personal preference that I‘d rather go with the extra stop of light of the 24-70.
I recently sold my 24-105 to get the 24-70 II. The 24-70 doesn't only have the faster one stop, it's also sharper and it's just a better built lens. I'm using the 5D mk4. In combination with the 70-200 II it's a killer combo.
best lens I have ever owned. I have used it exclusively for B.T.S. for such artist as Slash and Alter Bridge 9 years ago. it is front heavy but then that helped stabilized the camera. no gimbal back then. I just use my neck strap and both hands slightly pushing on the camera.
Just saw your comment now dude - really awesome you worked with Slash and Alter Bridge! I'm hugely into concert photography myself but COVID set that back unfortunately. Last tour I went was with Billy Idol in Europe almost three years ago. Back then I used a 25-105 f4 and a 50 f1.4 most of the time :)
Thank you! :) Yeah, me too acutally! Have been quite busy the last couple of months with offline work but will do more videos again now in autumn and winter :)
Thank you! Shot those clips in about 30min at that place and just tried to make a nice sequence out of it. All audio was added in post and I’m quite happy with how the sound design turned out :)

I’m a beginner and getting into videography and want to know who to use the “times crop factor” with this lens, I’m just worried if I do get a 24mm to 70mm lens will it still be the same on an APS-C camera like my SL3

Hey there, lenses always have a more significant influence on image quality than bodies. Upgrading your kit lens to the EF 24-70 will be a difference like day and night.

does lack of IS in lens cause any problems during low light sutuations or any normal conditions (with vs wirhout IS) ? And is it worth it to get in 2022 ?
IS is always nice to have but personally I‘m not missing it in the 24-70. If you get a 70-200 I‘d highly recommend to get the IS version but on a 24-70 it doesn‘t make a difference to me.
Great video! Am shooting with Canon C100 Mark 2 and its tough to get the focus right when shooting manual with characters walking. How do i get the focus right?
Thank you Stycie! I don‘t have experience with the C100 Mk 2 and most of my everyday photo work is sports/action where I use AF servo all the time. When I shoot stills or video of people I‘m using face/eye-tracking AF of the Canon R5 lately which works great in my opinion. Most pro‘s will still prefer manual focusing because a short autofocus fail can ruin the entire shot. When you use manual focus make sure to switch on assistance tools like focus peaking - this helps a lot.
Hola Patrick Berger......disculpa la consulta,,,,,,,yo tengo un lente 24-70 2.8 L II,,,igual a ese,,,,,pero hace poco me dio un problema en pleno evento,,,,se quedo trabado el diafragma y un colega me dijo que ese lente frecuentemente da ese problema del cable flex del diafragma,,,,,que a el le paso con 2 unidades iguales,,,,,de momento yo me compre otro igual nuevo,,,pero tengo la duda y temor de que le vuelva a pasar lo mismo,,,,dado el caso que es una inversion grande y se supone que es un lente premium de excelente calidad y uno no espera que pase eso,,,,,,quisiera consultarte cuanto tiempo tienes de tener el tuyo y si en alguna ocacion te ha dado un problema similar,,,,,,,,el colega que me dijo sobre eso dijo que el tecnico de mi localidad que los repara le dio referencias de que le ha pasado a varios lentes iguales,,,,,,el que se me daño lo trabajaba bien poquito y tenia apenas 3 años de uso,,,esta como nuevo porque lo usaba poco y aun asi paso eso,,,,,,espero puedas compartir alguna experiencia similar o darme tu punto de vista mi estimado,,,,,,,gracias por tu ayuda,,,,,,Saludos desde Nicaragua
Hola Jorge! Mi español no es muy bueno, pero es la primera vez que escucho esta historia. Nunca me encontré con este problema en años con ningún 24-70 con el que haya trabajado. llevaría la lente a un proveedor de servicios de Canon.

Hey there! When you‘re looking at an F4 lens I‘d rather recommand the 24-105 because you get 35mm more on the telephoto end. The 24-105 f4 is a very nice and super versatile lens and sharpness is amazing too (on the newer Ef/Rf models) but when you shoot lowlight (concerts, events, etc.) it‘s way behind any f2.8
Get the lens first and upgrade your body later. The lens has the most impact on image quality - even on a Rebel T6. You can use a good lens it for years or decades without having to upgrade it.
Hey there, your lens is a standard kit lens and the 24-70mm is a huge upgrade and you can perfectly use it in future if you decide to upgrade to a full frame body. Just keep in mind the crop factor - on your crop sensor camera this will be equivalent to a 35-105mm.
Grüße aus Wien! :) Denkst du dass diese Linse auch zum Filmen geeignet ist, oder sollte man aufs Sigma Art mit integriertem Bildstabilisator zurückgreifen?
Hey! Ich hab sie eigentlich hauptsächlich dafür gekauft ;) Leider hab ich keine Erfahrungen mit dem Sigma aber bei der ohnehin sehr weiten Brennweite denke ich, dass ein Bildstabilistor keinen gravierenden Unterschied macht. Sehr geiler Showreel auf eurem Channel übrigens 👍
Yeah, actually I shot a few concerts with it. The extra zoom range is nice but with that f4.0 aperture I was always at about ISO 3200 in those situations. So yes, the f2.8 opening is definitely more important to me than 35mm more focal range. But anyway - I‘d say that the 24-105 is a very nice travel/everday/allround lens 👍
How good is this camera lens cause i want to buy one lens and that's it. Once i buy one lens I'm not buying another one. I want a camera that's going to be solid at night and in low light. I also wanted to buy the canon 17-55 as well and the nifty fifty and call it a day
It‘s a Canon L-series lens, so basically the best 24-70 Canon has in their lineup along with the RF version. The 17-55 doesn‘t come close in build quality and image quality. f2.8 is nice in low light when you‘re on a full frame sensor, that can handle high ISO settings. I‘d go with this lens first and later you can still decide if you need a f1.4 or f1.2 50mm prime.
@@PatrickBergerPhoto i was told to buy the canon 16-35 and the 24-70 and the 70-200 all from Canon the ef or efs version for my beautiful canon 80d. My daughter bought a full frame camera and gave me her 80d so I'm going to start taking pictures of my family and landscape and crazy portraits of my friends
Since you‘re just starting out my advice is to get only one lens and focus on learning the basics and how focal length affects your compositions. The 24-70 covers everything you just described - landscape, portraits, family photos.
@@PatrickBergerPhoto well just what my daughter gave me a Canon 16-35 L series lens just now. I took some great pictures but i need to learn shutter speed and find a good mode to use to take all my pictures and i also need to learn taking pictures at night so please tell me a good light to use when I'm taking pictures at night and i will be the best i can be
@@PatrickBergerPhoto thanks man my wife just gave me the 16-35 lens so i will have to learn that lens but me and you will stay in contact just in case i need help
thanks mate 🙏 definitely taking that for a compliment as he has a huge influence on modern photographers and filmmakers alike :)

@@PatrickBergerPhoto yeah it's a compliment the quality is top notch :D I will need to improve my camera game once my channel grow to replace the phone I currently use to film :) Your channel will come in handy to find ideas !
Really depends on what you‘re shooting. If you work in low light or if you do a lot of portraits nothing beats a wide aperture :) Personally, I couldn‘t step down to the f4 after getting used to the 2.8.
I shoot a lot hiking stuff. And street photography here in beautiful Hamburg, Germany. I guess it would be wasted money. I'm just super hyped by my 16-35 f/2.8... and would like to have the same effect for my 24-70 focal length. But I guess I cannot improve sharpness too much. I think I safe some more money, sell my 7D II and 6D II for a proper Canon R-ish... and then think about an adult prime lens
yeah, if you‘re happy with your lenses i‘d say you‘re better off with a new body :) really love the entire r-line and just sold my 1dxii the other day finally. will stick to my ef lenses for a while though as prices and availability of rf glass is ridiculous right now 😅
Hey Diego, thanks for watching! What do you mean with paramters video? Like showing video clips and displaying the camera settings I used? I could definitely do that ;)
@@PatrickBergerPhoto Yes, because I have a canon 24-70 too, but when I put in "servo af" un video there is a little sound. I hope You to do a video with your settings that You use. PD: sorry for My English thats not good 😅
No worries, I perfectly understand what you mean ;) That‘s the noise of the autofocus motors you hear. It‘s going to be way better when you use a shotgun mic like the Rode VideoMicro or Rode VideoMic Pro+. When it‘s very quiet you‘ll still here that sound a little bit but as soon as you start talking you won‘t here it anymore ;)
Hey there! I used my Canon 1Dx II with no IBIS and no gimbal. It‘s all handheld and shot at 60fps so I can slow it down in post a little if I need to smooth things out if a clip was too shaky.
i want to buy at least 3 lenses and that's it i really want a lens that i can keep on there to take all the shots i need instead of having to switch lenses to catch the shot i want
I‘m only using variable NDs because they are more conveniant for videography. 2-5 stops and 6-9 stops either from PolarPro or Freewell are my favorites.
@@PatrickBergerPhoto Thanks man, appreciate the reply! Just acquired this lens, using with a Canon M50, Viltrox Speed Booster and a Smallrig Cage. Quite the combo!
Yes, it will also work on the 70D but since your camera has a smaller crop size sensor instead of a full frame sensor you have to multiply the focal length by x1.5 to know what field of view you will end up with. The 24-70mm will be equivivalent to a 35-105mm therefore.
@@JieXen Nice! I can‘t wait to try it on my R5 but after waiting for the body for three months I‘m now waiting again to get that damn EF-EOS R mount adapter 😅
If video is your priority I‘d probably get the A7. The R is a very good camera and the video looks nice but in 4k it has a ridiculous crop factor of 1.8 unfortunately.
May i know how do u use for concert? They have unexpected movement... I used this lens... It fails me with lots of blurry images, i used AV mode... So what do u use in this case?
Have you turned on AF on the lens and camera? Which camera is it and what AF mode did you use? Sounds more like a problem with your camera or settings. What was your shutter speed?
@@PatrickBergerPhoto I used Apeture First, AF are ON on both body and lens, I m using 6D (old one) btw. Using AI Focus, centre point. Shutter speed hasn't designated as I used Av mode, in low light ambience, like in concert... any suggestions for me? I ll take some tango shooting in low light setting soon... grr...
Use AF Servo instead of Focus if it is on your camera. Your shutter speed shouldn‘t be lower than 1/100s. You might have to increase ISO to get it there in dark envirnoments. Seems like your shots get blurry because shutter speed gets to slow in dark envirnoments.
@@PatrickBergerPhoto i actually bought it for $350 online knowing it was damaged and never actually bothered to get it fixed. It’s a beast. Going to keep using it on my R6 until RF lenses become a little less expensive.
@@PatrickBergerPhoto whaaaa? Really that’s awesome. Usually they change with the focal length. Also yeah that’s what I meant lol had a brain fart. I have the canon m50 and 2 lenses, the one that comes with it and the 32mm 1.4 I’m looking to upgrade to a more professional camera and lens but nothing super expensive. I’ll have to save up for this one. What camera do you recommend to use the 24-70 with?
Yeah, aperture changes on entry-level zoom lenses in most cases. That‘s not the case with more professional lenses - 16-35, 24-70 and 70-200 are all f2.8 across the range for example. If you look at Canons RF lineup there‘s even a 28-70 f2.0 which is insane ^^ In terms of camera bodies I‘m currently using an R5 and a 1Dx II but i‘m selling the 1Dx in order to get an R3. I‘d recommand you to check out the R6 if you want an affordable, full-frame mirrorless camera that got all the latest tech (like face/eye-tracking AF, etc).
@@PatrickBergerPhoto woooow it’s crazy that you just said this because after researching for days!!. Today I made up my mind that I’m saving up for the R6 paired with the 28-70 f2.0 lol it’s like you read my mind. I don’t mind spending a lot on a body but the lens…..it’s so expensive! Even more so than the camera lol together it’ll be around $6,000. I know the 28-70 f2 is better than the 24-70mm 2.8 but I was thinking maybe I can make it work? it’s almost 2 thousand dollars cheaper lol or maybe I’ll just wait because they say to not spend money on EF lenses anymore because the future is RF
@@PatrickBergerPhoto I once volunteered to be the videographer AND photographer for a wedding. Why? Because I didn’t know any better 😂😂😂 some how I was able to pull it off in the end. but I’ll never do that again. That wedding scared me away from Videos and now I just do photos. I rented and used the 70-200 2.8||| at that wedding attached to my canon m50 😂my arms were sore for like 2 weeks 😂
Thanks mate! Yeah, you‘re right. Started this channel to try things out and guess it‘ll take some time to give it my own twist. Actually I wanted to focus way more on concert photography but COVID set me back on this and that‘s why I started making videos on more general photo topics and gear I already had. Thanks for stopping by 🤙
Depends on your camera I‘d say. If you have a full frame sensor you can push your ISO way more and still retain a low noise level. In that case the 24-70 will be a fine pick. If you use a crop sensor camera you can‘t push your ISO that much and therefore I‘d rather go for a prime lens with an even wider aperture.
Yeah it works on a Rebel. The Rebel has a smaller sensor though which gives you a x1,5 crop. This lens would be something like a 35-105mm on your crop sensor body ;)

I understand, those features are nice to have but you can still work around not having them in your current camera. What you can‘t work around though is the quality of the glass you put on.
Would you choose this over Sigma? Price not being an issue.
Yes, anytime! Had some Sigmas that were nice, some had focus issues, some had too much of an over-sharpened look. Quality varies too much at Sigma for my taste and not having third party lenses covered by CPS services is another thing that bothers me. That‘s why I stick to Canon glass.
does lack of IS in lens cause any problems during low light sutuations or any normal conditions (with vs wirhout IS) ? And is it worth it to get in 2022 ?
IS is always nice to have but personally I‘m not missing it in the 24-70. If you get a 70-200 I‘d highly recommend to get the IS version but on a 24-70 it doesn‘t make a difference to me.
Hello please advise what year did this lens come out. I think I purchased this in 2014. There was a previous version in the 2000s’ with a large hood.
Hey there, it‘s the Mk II version which was released in 2012.
Great video! Am shooting with Canon C100 Mark 2 and its tough to get the focus right when shooting manual with characters walking. How do i get the focus right?
Thank you Stycie! I don‘t have experience with the C100 Mk 2 and most of my everyday photo work is sports/action where I use AF servo all the time. When I shoot stills or video of people I‘m using face/eye-tracking AF of the Canon R5 lately which works great in my opinion. Most pro‘s will still prefer manual focusing because a short autofocus fail can ruin the entire shot. When you use manual focus make sure to switch on assistance tools like focus peaking - this helps a lot.
Hola Patrick Berger......disculpa la consulta,,,,,,,yo tengo un lente 24-70 2.8 L II,,,igual a ese,,,,,pero hace poco me dio un problema en pleno evento,,,,se quedo trabado el diafragma y un colega me dijo que ese lente frecuentemente da ese problema del cable flex del diafragma,,,,,que a el le paso con 2 unidades iguales,,,,,de momento yo me compre otro igual nuevo,,,pero tengo la duda y temor de que le vuelva a pasar lo mismo,,,,dado el caso que es una inversion grande y se supone que es un lente premium de excelente calidad y uno no espera que pase eso,,,,,,quisiera consultarte cuanto tiempo tienes de tener el tuyo y si en alguna ocacion te ha dado un problema similar,,,,,,,,el colega que me dijo sobre eso dijo que el tecnico de mi localidad que los repara le dio referencias de que le ha pasado a varios lentes iguales,,,,,,el que se me daño lo trabajaba bien poquito y tenia apenas 3 años de uso,,,esta como nuevo porque lo usaba poco y aun asi paso eso,,,,,,espero puedas compartir alguna experiencia similar o darme tu punto de vista mi estimado,,,,,,,gracias por tu ayuda,,,,,,Saludos desde Nicaragua
Hola Jorge! Mi español no es muy bueno, pero es la primera vez que escucho esta historia. Nunca me encontré con este problema en años con ningún 24-70 con el que haya trabajado. llevaría la lente a un proveedor de servicios de Canon.
@@PatrickBergerPhoto hola le recomiendo el traductor de google para que pueda traducir bien el texto en caso que le cueste entender mi comentario,,,,,,,,Hola patrick gracias por responder a mi comentario,,,,,pues para ser honesto yo antes tampoco había escuchado este problema hasta que me pasó ami,,,pero si buscas en youtube o Internet te darás cuenta de que a mucha gente le ha pasado lo mismo,,,,,no siempre la única opción es servicio canon ya que a veces ellos no quieren darse a la tarea de estar desarmando esos equipos y te quieren cobrar casi la mitad precio de lo que vale el lente,,,,,aquí en mi localidad en Nicaragua hay un técnico especializado en electrónica digital y solo trabaja con cámaras digitales, lentes y flashes,,,lo lleve donde el y ha como estaba previsto se había reventado la cinta flex que controla el diafragma y me dijo que le ha pasado a muchos fotógrafos y que había hecho ese reemplazo a muchos lentes igualitos,,,,,pero de hecho reemplazó la cinta flex y el lente volvió a funcionar sin problemas como el primer día,,,,,ahora tengo dos ef 24-70mm 2.8 L ii iguales ya que cuando se me dañó el primero a los pocos días mandé a comprar otro,,,pero bueno ahora estoy muy contento porque el anterior volvió a funcionar sin ningún problema y quedó como que no había pasado nada,,,,,el técnico dijo que es normal que cada cierto tiempo se revientan esos cables con el movimiento de zoom el uso y las diversas temperaturas esos pierde la suavidad y flexibilidad y toca reemplazarlo cuando se rompe,,,,,espero pueda servirte en algo mi experiencia ya que a usted no le ha pasado,,,pero que no le extrañe de ahora en adelante cuando su cámara le envié error 01 con ese lente normalmente es porque se rompió la cinta flex del diafragma,,,,,,saludos mi estimado.....cualquier experiencia con esto me gustaría me pueda compartir,,,,
Dp you reckon, the f4 version would be any different in terms of overall sharpness? Thanks
Hey there! When you‘re looking at an F4 lens I‘d rather recommand the 24-105 because you get 35mm more on the telephoto end. The 24-105 f4 is a very nice and super versatile lens and sharpness is amazing too (on the newer Ef/Rf models) but when you shoot lowlight (concerts, events, etc.) it‘s way behind any f2.8
I have canon 77d..apsc..im hobbyist..I want to take photos for family events, travel,my kids and portraits....will it be good for Apsc camera
Yeah, it also works great on an APSC body. It will be equivalent to 35-105mm - a very versatile focal range :)
Beginner question here. :) Will this be perfect for product and food photography also?
Yeah, it‘s perfect for food photography and also for products if they‘re not to small. In that case I‘d probably add a 100mm makro.
I have a canon rebel t6 would it even be worth it to buy such an incredible lens for such a old camera? Or should I invest that money in a new body?
Get the lens first and upgrade your body later. The lens has the most impact on image quality - even on a Rebel T6. You can use a good lens it for years or decades without having to upgrade it.
Subscriber #900!!! ^__^
Haha, just saw it - thanks dude! 😊
Do you recommend it for 90D? I'm currently using efs 17-55mm usm.
Hey there, your lens is a standard kit lens and the 24-70mm is a huge upgrade and you can perfectly use it in future if you decide to upgrade to a full frame body. Just keep in mind the crop factor - on your crop sensor camera this will be equivalent to a 35-105mm.
@@PatrickBergerPhoto Alright and thanks man! I have it now! Will keep it for till I get the full frame in future!
Grüße aus Wien! :) Denkst du dass diese Linse auch zum Filmen geeignet ist, oder sollte man aufs Sigma Art mit integriertem Bildstabilisator zurückgreifen?
Hey! Ich hab sie eigentlich hauptsächlich dafür gekauft ;) Leider hab ich keine Erfahrungen mit dem Sigma aber bei der ohnehin sehr weiten Brennweite denke ich, dass ein Bildstabilistor keinen gravierenden Unterschied macht. Sehr geiler Showreel auf eurem Channel übrigens 👍
Weltklasse!
Danke Zonko! :)
Did you consider the cheaper 24-105 f4 with IS? Was it the 2.8 that swung it for you?
Yeah, actually I shot a few concerts with it. The extra zoom range is nice but with that f4.0 aperture I was always at about ISO 3200 in those situations. So yes, the f2.8 opening is definitely more important to me than 35mm more focal range. But anyway - I‘d say that the 24-105 is a very nice travel/everday/allround lens 👍
@@PatrickBergerPhoto makes sense
How good is this camera lens cause i want to buy one lens and that's it. Once i buy one lens I'm not buying another one. I want a camera that's going to be solid at night and in low light. I also wanted to buy the canon 17-55 as well and the nifty fifty and call it a day
It‘s a Canon L-series lens, so basically the best 24-70 Canon has in their lineup along with the RF version. The 17-55 doesn‘t come close in build quality and image quality. f2.8 is nice in low light when you‘re on a full frame sensor, that can handle high ISO settings. I‘d go with this lens first and later you can still decide if you need a f1.4 or f1.2 50mm prime.
@@PatrickBergerPhoto i was told to buy the canon 16-35 and the 24-70 and the 70-200 all from Canon the ef or efs version for my beautiful canon 80d. My daughter bought a full frame camera and gave me her 80d so I'm going to start taking pictures of my family and landscape and crazy portraits of my friends
Since you‘re just starting out my advice is to get only one lens and focus on learning the basics and how focal length affects your compositions. The 24-70 covers everything you just described - landscape, portraits, family photos.
@@PatrickBergerPhoto well just what my daughter gave me a Canon 16-35 L series lens just now. I took some great pictures but i need to learn shutter speed and find a good mode to use to take all my pictures and i also need to learn taking pictures at night so please tell me a good light to use when I'm taking pictures at night and i will be the best i can be
@@PatrickBergerPhoto thanks man my wife just gave me the 16-35 lens so i will have to learn that lens but me and you will stay in contact just in case i need help
Wait, what? The canon 24-70 f2.8 is the #1 recommended zoom lens in almost every conversation.
The #1 prime lens is a good 35mm.
100% agreed, 24-70 and a nice 35mm f1.4 (I personally own a Sigma Art). Lately I‘ve my eyes set on Canons 28-70 f2 though 😁🔥
Hi! Will this work with Canon EOS 90D? I'm thinking of buying one. Thanks a lot!
-From the Philippines
Yeah, it‘s going to work on the 90D but due to the crop factor of x1,5 on your sensor it‘s going to be more like a 35-105mm.
I'm getting Peter Mckinnon vibes haha I love your content man :D
thanks mate 🙏 definitely taking that for a compliment as he has a huge influence on modern photographers and filmmakers alike :)
@@PatrickBergerPhoto yeah it's a compliment the quality is top notch :D I will need to improve my camera game once my channel grow to replace the phone I currently use to film :) Your channel will come in handy to find ideas !
Gaetan vidéo bof thanks a lot! great to give something valueablw back to the community! :)
GREAT CONTENT..
thank you! :)
Is it worth switching out my 24-70 F4 with the F2.8? Budget is there, but I'm unsure. :D
Really depends on what you‘re shooting. If you work in low light or if you do a lot of portraits nothing beats a wide aperture :) Personally, I couldn‘t step down to the f4 after getting used to the 2.8.
I shoot a lot hiking stuff. And street photography here in beautiful Hamburg, Germany. I guess it would be wasted money.
I'm just super hyped by my 16-35 f/2.8... and would like to have the same effect for my 24-70 focal length.
But I guess I cannot improve sharpness too much.
I think I safe some more money, sell my 7D II and 6D II for a proper Canon R-ish... and then think about an adult prime lens
yeah, if you‘re happy with your lenses i‘d say you‘re better off with a new body :) really love the entire r-line and just sold my 1dxii the other day finally. will stick to my ef lenses for a while though as prices and availability of rf glass is ridiculous right now 😅
Im thinking of renting this lens… but I Have a rebel . Is it compatible with t5i ?
Yeah it‘s compatible but the focal range is equivalent to 35-105mm on a crop sensor.
My workhorse
Good choice ;)
me 2....i love it!!!
same here ;)
Do you recommend buying this lens used?
Sure! If it is in good condition go for it ;)
I have the one lens and it stays on my camera, I'm guessing, 99% or the time. It is the Canon 28-300 f3.5-5.6L
One size fits all.
Would this work on an m50?
Yes it does but you need the Canon EF-EOS M mount adapter.
hiii, Im from Perú, I have a question, Do you make a tutorial with parameters video with the canon 24-70?
Hey Diego, thanks for watching! What do you mean with paramters video? Like showing video clips and displaying the camera settings I used? I could definitely do that ;)
@@PatrickBergerPhoto Yes, because I have a canon 24-70 too, but when I put in "servo af" un video there is a little sound. I hope You to do a video with your settings that You use.
PD: sorry for My English thats not good 😅
No worries, I perfectly understand what you mean ;) That‘s the noise of the autofocus motors you hear. It‘s going to be way better when you use a shotgun mic like the Rode VideoMicro or Rode VideoMic Pro+. When it‘s very quiet you‘ll still here that sound a little bit but as soon as you start talking you won‘t here it anymore ;)
@@PatrickBergerPhoto than you! Could you do a video for that?
@@PatrickBergerPhoto I wait for your video
For the b-roll did you use a camera with IS or a gimbal ?
Hey there! I used my Canon 1Dx II with no IBIS and no gimbal. It‘s all handheld and shot at 60fps so I can slow it down in post a little if I need to smooth things out if a clip was too shaky.
@@PatrickBergerPhoto well done - very sweet
@@ChinskiChat thank you! :)
Does it compare to Zeiss equivalent?
Do you mean the Sony 24-70 GM? I really don‘t know as I‘m shooting Canon and have no intention to switch brands ;)
DO YOU USE FLASH?
I DO WHEN IT‘S NECESSARY, just like caps lock 😅
Do you use a gimbal por that video?
No, it was all handheld ✌️
What filter you have on this lens?
Hey there! It‘s a PolarPro UV filter I use solely for protection in some cases. When shooting video I use variable NDs of the same brand ;)
for aps-c I think the 17-55mm is a bit better cause of the crop
In terms of focal length it probably is but the quality of the glass in a L-series lens is still superior.
i want to buy at least 3 lenses and that's it i really want a lens that i can keep on there to take all the shots i need instead of having to switch lenses to catch the shot i want
So do you want 3 lenses or 1 lens now? And what do you shoot most?
Please I can used with 800d?
Yeah, I think so. If the 800d has an EF mount it will fit.
Can you recommend a NDF? Thank you!
I‘m only using variable NDs because they are more conveniant for videography. 2-5 stops and 6-9 stops either from PolarPro or Freewell are my favorites.
@@PatrickBergerPhoto Thanks man, appreciate the reply! Just acquired this lens, using with a Canon M50, Viltrox Speed Booster and a Smallrig Cage. Quite the combo!
Solid setup man, have fun creating ;)
Will this be good for eos70d? I’m new to camera
Yes, it will also work on the 70D but since your camera has a smaller crop size sensor instead of a full frame sensor you have to multiply the focal length by x1.5 to know what field of view you will end up with. The 24-70mm will be equivivalent to a 35-105mm therefore.
Rf 24 70 f2
Nice one! I think the RF zoom with f2 is 28-70 though.
would you say a canon eos r with this ef 24-70mm would be good?
Hey Adi, I don‘t have an EOS R but the lens itself is killer. I‘m currently waiting for my R5 and will surely use it with an EF-RF mount adapter 👍
I’m rocking the EF 24-70mm 2.8 ii with the EOS R and it works perfectly. In fact, the autofocus is faster on the EOS R than the 5D4.
@@JieXen do you shoot videos? How is the 4k? I like the weight and the video specs of the a7iii dont know which to choose
@@JieXen Nice! I can‘t wait to try it on my R5 but after waiting for the body for three months I‘m now waiting again to get that damn EF-EOS R mount adapter 😅
If video is your priority I‘d probably get the A7. The R is a very good camera and the video looks nice but in 4k it has a ridiculous crop factor of 1.8 unfortunately.
Does the auto focus cause noise in the audio when shooting video?
You need to use an external shotgun mic like a Rode VideoMic Pro+ and you won‘t hear any focus noises.
May i know how do u use for concert? They have unexpected movement... I used this lens... It fails me with lots of blurry images, i used AV mode... So what do u use in this case?
Have you turned on AF on the lens and camera? Which camera is it and what AF mode did you use? Sounds more like a problem with your camera or settings. What was your shutter speed?
@@PatrickBergerPhoto I used Apeture First, AF are ON on both body and lens, I m using 6D (old one) btw. Using AI Focus, centre point. Shutter speed hasn't designated as I used Av mode, in low light ambience, like in concert...
any suggestions for me? I ll take some tango shooting in low light setting soon... grr...
Use AF Servo instead of Focus if it is on your camera. Your shutter speed shouldn‘t be lower than 1/100s. You might have to increase ISO to get it there in dark envirnoments. Seems like your shots get blurry because shutter speed gets to slow in dark envirnoments.
@@PatrickBergerPhoto Thx a lot, i ll give it a try
Just sent mine to get fixed.
ahh, sorry man - what happened?
@@PatrickBergerPhoto i actually bought it for $350 online knowing it was damaged and never actually bothered to get it fixed. It’s a beast. Going to keep using it on my R6 until RF lenses become a little less expensive.
Will this work with the eos m50?
Yes, it will work on the M50 but you need the Canon EF-EOS M Adapter for appr. 100$ to mount it 👍
@@PatrickBergerPhoto I have a Viltrox adapter already to use my nifty fifty, will that work?
@@ACSSneakers Yes, it will work ;)
@@PatrickBergerPhoto Thank you for getting back to me! Loving your work🙏
@@ACSSneakers Thanksmate! :)
What’s the focal length at 70mm?
Well, that would be 70mm 😁 If you meant aperture it‘s f2.8 through the entire 24-70 range.
@@PatrickBergerPhoto whaaaa? Really that’s awesome. Usually they change with the focal length. Also yeah that’s what I meant lol had a brain fart. I have the canon m50 and 2 lenses, the one that comes with it and the 32mm 1.4 I’m looking to upgrade to a more professional camera and lens but nothing super expensive. I’ll have to save up for this one. What camera do you recommend to use the 24-70 with?
Yeah, aperture changes on entry-level zoom lenses in most cases. That‘s not the case with more professional lenses - 16-35, 24-70 and 70-200 are all f2.8 across the range for example. If you look at Canons RF lineup there‘s even a 28-70 f2.0 which is insane ^^
In terms of camera bodies I‘m currently using an R5 and a 1Dx II but i‘m selling the 1Dx in order to get an R3. I‘d recommand you to check out the R6 if you want an affordable, full-frame mirrorless camera that got all the latest tech (like face/eye-tracking AF, etc).
@@PatrickBergerPhoto woooow it’s crazy that you just said this because after researching for days!!. Today I made up my mind that I’m saving up for the R6 paired with the 28-70 f2.0 lol it’s like you read my mind. I don’t mind spending a lot on a body but the lens…..it’s so expensive! Even more so than the camera lol together it’ll be around $6,000.
I know the 28-70 f2 is better than the 24-70mm 2.8 but I was thinking maybe I can make it work? it’s almost 2 thousand dollars cheaper lol or maybe I’ll just wait because they say to not spend money on EF lenses anymore because the future is RF
@@PatrickBergerPhoto I once volunteered to be the videographer AND photographer for a wedding. Why? Because I didn’t know any better 😂😂😂 some how I was able to pull it off in the end. but I’ll never do that again. That wedding scared me away from Videos and now I just do photos. I rented and used the 70-200 2.8||| at that wedding attached to my canon m50 😂my arms were sore for like 2 weeks 😂
Great information but you need to change the look Peter already done it. It's toooooooooo identical
Thanks mate! Yeah, you‘re right. Started this channel to try things out and guess it‘ll take some time to give it my own twist. Actually I wanted to focus way more on concert photography but COVID set me back on this and that‘s why I started making videos on more general photo topics and gear I already had. Thanks for stopping by 🤙
Great video! I've been looking at this lens.
I want a good "do-all" lens and I think this is it.
#RobbArmstrong
Thanks Rob! I think you‘ll be happy with it. Except for sports where you usually go for +200mm it‘s doing pretty much everything ;)
Your main light is too high. Your eyes are in shadow though most of your talk. imho
Thanks for the notice. It‘s always kind of a struggle to shoot myself and my old 1Dx2 I recorded this video on didn‘t even had a flip display 🙃
Do you think this lens would be good for shooting in nightclubs? ☺️
Depends on your camera I‘d say. If you have a full frame sensor you can push your ISO way more and still retain a low noise level. In that case the 24-70 will be a fine pick.
If you use a crop sensor camera you can‘t push your ISO that much and therefore I‘d rather go for a prime lens with an even wider aperture.
Would this work on a rebel t7?
Yeah it works on a Rebel. The Rebel has a smaller sensor though which gives you a x1,5 crop. This lens would be something like a 35-105mm on your crop sensor body ;)
