CANON RF 24-105mm f4 L: DON’T SLEEP ON THIS LENS!

- With all of the negative connotation that comes with the "kit lens" association, this is truly an underrated focal range/lens. Check out my thoughts on the Canon RF 24-105mm f4 L USM lens.
The Canon RF 24-105mm lens may not be as desirable as some of the other Rf L series lenses, but I would argue that it is way more practical. When utilized on the canon eos R and canon eos R6, I am confident that I will get professional results. The focal range on the canon rf 24-105mm f4 lens makes it ideal for a variety of photography and videography scenarios.

I have this lens and used it for a quick music video. I also brought the 50mm 1.2 EF and the 100mm 2.8 RF along with me. I ended up shooting the entire video with the 24-105 RF. No regrets at all, loving it
That’s awesome Dominic! The autofocus is so awesome for video.
whats the link to the vid bro?
@@WasionKey what video?
@@BCPCamerasTech he was asking the OP of the comment for the link to the music video he shot with this lens
@@cjinreallife oh thank you 🙏
This is a great travel lens. I sold my original EF MARK I version and soon to get the new RF one. 90% I would always use this lens when traveling great for stills and video.
Great review! I just bought the Canon EOS R with this as the kit lens.
Thanks for watching! Have fun with the lens and the new camera!
I also bought this lens as a kit together with my R6. I also really like it for taking video; It experiences little focus breathing and focuses really quickly and quietly with it's USM focusing motors.
Yea great point. This lens is a really great video tool. I really like the nano USM tech that canon has been putting into their professional zoom lenses.
I picked this lens up for my second lens purchase. Got a Like New used for $980. Great video and sound advice for a must have lens for Canon owners.
Congratulations! Have fun with the lens. Such a useful range.
I got a barely used one today for like $949. It's pretty awesome
Just ordered the R6 with this lens. Great video! 👍
Awesome glad you enjoyed the video. Have fun with the new camera!!
For good light, it is a great lens. Low light where you can't add flash or additional light, it is way too slow at F4 if you are off tripod and/or moving subjects.
Very true! Although, the times I found myself in that particular situation were few and far between.
@@BCPCamerasTech that is where a good prime f1. 2 or the RF28-70 f2 step in.
Landscape you will be using this lens at f8/f11. So it is ideal.
Watching for the second time.. I think you are one of the rare youtuber who has experience of all 4 canon mirrorless cameras. So i have a question for you. If someone wants to make 1080p video at 60fps with no clog, just 8 bit, which canon camera will you advise.. R or R6? can you make a video comparing 1080p videos of various canon camera with standard profiles(no clog)..
I’m pretty sure the 1080p on the R6 is way better than the R. If you stick the R in cropped 1080p then I believe that you’ll get a higher quality picture than the full sensor 1080p. But it depends on what your using it for. If it’s RUclips, I doubt anyone will notice.
It’s an amazing standard zoom lens! I loved the old EF version as well! Great review as always Brandon.😉👍👏
Thanks! How was the autofocus on the ef version? Good for video?
I’ve got my RF 85mm 1.2 in back order paid for. I do a lot of HSS photography. I recently sold all of my EF lenses to start new . I also do some studio work with flash. I’ve been thinking about getting this lens. I think after seeing that portrait shot in convinced this is a must. I started of my first year of photography using the canon 80D. I’ve gotten amazing portraits from it using the 85mm 1.8 & 35mm 2.0. I’ve been using the RP as my first full frame and I love it. But I’m definitely waiting for the R6 & R5 to drop in price. I remember the full price of the R & RP and how it’s dropped.
Your plan is my plan, I will keep the RP as my backup, I would like to get an EF 24mm to 105mm version to have with my Rebel T6. Great Post.
Great plan! I’m right there with you.
Thanks for this video. I just bought this lens used. Be aware that as of March 2023 the prices on this lens are quite a bit higher, (both new and used prices).
For sure! Thanks for the update. Enjoy the lens!
Awesome video man!
Appreciate it! Feel like I’m finally starting to get the hang of making these RUclips videos haha
I just ordered this lens from the Canon refurbished store. I haven't had it long but love the constant aperture thru the zoom range
I agree it’s a very nice feature to have. Are you using more for photo or video?
@@BCPCamerasTech I use it mostly for landscape, candid portraits, and auto shows. I love my primes for portraits. I do little video at this point.
@@shanec4441 thanks for sharing!
All of the kits I’m seeing for that price point include the RF 24-105 F4-7.1 instead. Unless you’re paying 2k or more to include the R6 body.
Aww man that’s a bummer. I guess they stopped selling the kit.
Just ordered one. Can't wait to use it
Congratulations! You’re gonna love it. No doubt about it.
I got this lens with my eos r and was planning to sale it to get the rf 24-70 but with the amazing IS I decided to keep it, I can shoot much slower and pictures are still shap, I couldn’t do that with the EF version
Such a good lens!
Good advice on buying it used from someone who got it has part or a kit. I got mine for $760 used and am happy with that.
Thanks and that’s a great deal! Enjoy.
Agree with everything you said except how soft it is. Brought mine back after one day. Nothing beats a good prime... Really nice videos here. Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Wow really. You must have a really Keen eye for lens quality because I had a hard time feeling a big difference between the sharpness of the 24-105 and the 50mm. The rf 85mm is on another level though haha. I’d be curious to see what you think of my 50mm vs 85mm video. Thanks for watching!
Would the RF 24-70 F2.8 L be considerably "sharper" lens than the RF F4 24-105mm L?
My Ef 24-70 lens is broken. The repair is around 600€
I mostly use the canon R5 with the adapter and this lens and sometimes my RF 35mm
I've been researching and I'd like to know what you think is the best option:
Buy canon RF 85mm F2 and the new RF 16mm
(since I already have the RF 35mm)
or
Just buy the RF 24-105 f4 lens
(everybody seems to love this lens)
The difference between the two options is just 100€
I can't decide between this 2 options. What would you do?
Also which lenses do you think have the best quality and durability?
Thank you ❤️
It really depends. I think you’d be happy with either choice. The 24-105 lens would probably outlast the non L lenses but the primes will provide more versatility. In terms of image quality, im sure you will be happy with any of the lenses. If there is a difference in image quality between the 24-105 vs the primes, it’s not something that’ll be that noticeable unless you are pixel peeping. I’d probably go with the primes and make sure you cover the lenses up if your shooting in inclement weather.
Hated it. Sold it for the 24-70 2.8. Don’t miss it.
Haha to each his own. 24-70 looks pretty awesome.
Why? Is it because of the low light limitation? Or is it because the F4's images not sharp enough?
@@sonicvboom honestly, the images were grainy. Couldn’t use it indoors at all, I did not find it to be sharp either. I just couldn’t get very good images from it. Maybe a dud.
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]?
No dust issues with the lens. I put it through pretty rough conditions too. I regards to the extended barrel, I do believe there is adequate weather sealing in that area but am unsure of how it will hold up in a few years from now (obviously). Hoping that canon made the right decision to do this with there rf L lenses. Both the 15-35 and 70-200 do that as well.
lens is good sealing no problem with dust or water
Hi - what's the stabilisation like with a camera like the R6 in video
Top notch for sure. At the wider end (eg 15-24) there’s definitely a lot of wobble if you are doing handheld which is a bummer. Otherwise, stabilization (specifically with rf lenses) is amazing.
Is this lens weather sealed?
Sure is!
What lens did you use to shoot this cool video 😎
Cop video?
@@BCPCamerasTech I’m sorry i meant to say cool 🤦🏽♂️😂😂😂
@@varoujanvisionsofficial630 haha no problem. This was shot with the 50mm 1.2 lens. Thanks for watching!
Good video, hearing a lot of the focusing sound from the lens. Maybe its because its not a mirrorless camera you are using to film? Maybe its the lens> Either way, if you are going to record yourself with that setup, I would recommend getting a separate mic that is not attached to the camera. Cheers
I was wondering if anyone would hear that. You’re right. It’s the lens. Had my mic settings entered incorrectly. Thanks for watching though! Definitely won’t make that mistake twice.
I’m sure he knows how to set up but for a review I want to hear how loud is the auto focus. Maybe not for a comercial but for a review definitely
This review was filmed with the rf 50mm f1.2. Has a relatively noisy af motor.
rf 24-105 vs ef 24-105 isii comparison
what is the best lens rf 50m 1.8 or 24-105 ?
Hard to say. If it’s your first lens, maybe go with the 24-105 f4 so you can use it in a wider variety of scenarios. It’s also weather sealed. You can go a long way with the 50mm as well.
Bought this lens, it's going back, it's not super sharp and does not live up to the " L " label. Compared to the EF 24-70 2.8 II the pictures are mush, so much more resolution and clarity on the 24-70.
Didn’t think it was bad at all. But yes compared to the other L lenses especially the primes, it’s not as sharp.
Hi Brandon, I am wedding photographer and shifting from Nikon Z6 to canon RP because of colours , I just want to get your advice should I buy RP+50mm + 85mm ef + 24-105 F4-7.1 STM or alone 24-105 f4.? I am gonna use flash anyway most of situation what do you recommend.? thanks. I was going to buy Canon Eos R but I don't want to invest in that at the moment.
I think I would go with the first set up. You’ll have more flexibility with that set up (e.g., low light options, nice background separation for individual portraits). You could make it work with the rf 24-105 but I’d still want a low light lens to go along with that.
@@BCPCamerasTech thanks a lot mate, for the time being i ll go with kit lens and primes, may be next year i will buy 24-70 2.8 if i could afford it Lol. Thanks again for reply cheers.
@@PunjabiGymBeats No problem and good luck. I’m sure you’ll have no problem hitting that goal!
@@BCPCamerasTech thanks
Will this lens be useful on a crop sensor? I just bought an R50
I think it becomes around a 40mm-170mm which can definitely be a useful focal range for landscape and event gigs.
i have this lens with my rp and work excellent 90% photos with this lens
Great combo for sure! Enjoy :)
I'll eventually buy it when I can get it at a discount
Solid plan!
Hi Is there something wrong with your autofocus ? I can hear noise
I made the mistake of placing the mic on camera while using the rf 50mm 1.2. The AF is too noisy since it’s not the nano USM af system.
Anyone upgraded from the STM f4-7.1 RF 24-105 model? thanks
All I can hear is the noise kind of like a zoom chasing noise?
I think that’s the auto focus on the rf 50mm 1.2 you’re hearing. Messed up on the audio for this video. Sorry about that.
@@BCPCamerasTech no need to be sorry I was just pointing that out. Great video. Can I ask you a question. I am debating purchasing the A7S3 / FX3 / Canon R5 my budget is 6K. My priority is video but I like to take pictures as well last I can’t make my mind since Sony shoots 240 at 1080 not sure about the R5. Thx
The only thing that made me nervous about going with the Sony was the color grading process but I think it’s better with s-cinetone. The skin tones come out of the camera a bit too green but again I’m sure you can fix that in camera somehow. I’m also weary about the longevity of Sony cameras. If you have business insurance, I’m sure it’s not a big deal either way. Would you ever think about going with the Sony a1 haha?
@@BCPCamerasTech i am almost sure I’m going Canon I may not have the 240 FPS but I will get the 8k. And if I really need the 240 FPS I just pull out my GoPro hero 9
@@RT365 the R5 is great! I don’t mind working with standard 4K and cropped 4K for longer video projects. Keep in touch and let me know what you think!
Which cam did u for the pictures?
Most of it was on the R6 but some R at the end.
do you see relevant differences between 20 and 30 mp?
@@ansin9399 no I did not. Even with the Rf glass, I was always surprised how much I could crop in and the detail held up on the R6. I saw more of a difference in the rendering of the color when shooting raw on the R6 vs the R. My canon mirrorless camera comparison video showcases that I believe.
I live out in the mountains and primarily take landscape shots. I'm stuck between getting the 24-105 or the 15-35. If I can only have 1 what would you suggest?
25-105. It’s more versatile for landscape and you can always a rich together shots for panoramic view if you need a wide shot.
@@BCPCamerasTech but 25-104mm does not exist! yet
Can i use RF24-105mm F4-7.1 on canon t7i?
No because the ef mount on the t7i is smaller than the rf mount.
@@BCPCamerasTech Thanks so much for your response. 🙏🏽
@@IamSILVESTRY no problem!
I think this video is made using R6, that why too much orange skin?
It was made with the R6 but I believe it was shot in standard profile which can be more saturated and contrasty. I also may have adjusted the white balance by dialing the kelvin instead of setting a custom WB profile which may have provided more pleasing skin tones. Definitely didn’t shoot this in clog on the R6 which is what leads to the yellow/orangish skin tones. Making my next video on that.
Wow... so many errors! Yammers on and on about how to buy. Are you talking new or used? Lost interest very quickly.
I think I was referring to used in this one. Hope you find the info you need. Great lens regardless!
Ross geller😮
Yes :)
@@BCPCamerasTech , Hello Brandon, Would you be able to recommend a lens to me for astrophotography? I recently purchased a canon eos RP specifically for that purpose and it came with the 16mm 2.8 lens. Is there any zoom/prime lens I could buy to get better results in terms of getting sharp star pictures?
Thanks in advance!
@@Lonewolf00003 the 16 2.8 is definitely a good place to start but I’m not sure the performance (coma & vignetting) is the best for Astro. I’d probably get one of those fast sigma lenses (14mm 1.8) with the EF adapter.
Metric dude, metric ;-) lol. Nice review.
Haha what do you mean? Thanks!
rf 24-105mm f4 there is no brightness in the picture 100% price shows quality! the price i like her and what i see in the picture is disappointing every generation! I used 4 months (canon eos r5 + rf 24-105mm f4) , I was disappointed. i am going to sell rf 24-105mm f4l, want to buy 70-200 F2.8 .
The lens definitely isn’t for everyone. I take the 70 to 200 over the 24 to 105 any day haha.
What do you mean when you say: "there is no brightness in the picture"? Is it because the lens is just an F4 stop? One could easily crank up the ISO, no? Or is it because you are not feelin' the 24-105mm "look"? Not sure if you realize, but the 70-200mm is an entirely different scope of lens and it has a very different approach/ perspective.
@@BCPCamerasTech Why would you choose the 70-200mm over the 24-105mm? What about the 24-70mm F2.8?
@@sonicvboom id choose the 70-200 over the 24-105 because I have the 15-35. Since I have the wider end covered, the 70-200 will serve me better for portraits and telephoto landscape. If I didn’t have the 15-35, I would definitely go with the 24-105.
Damn Price went up. I don’t wanna pay 1300$ for this lens 🥲
Yea that’s a bummer for sure
To be honest 24-105 f4-7.1 will do the job most of the times for one third of the price. It is as sharp and almost no difference with image quality. RF glasses are really good. I just got one and very happy with it.
