![]() 24mmįirst of all, I compared the two lenses at 24mm focal length. The pictures were taken with self-timer and first electronic shutter curtain to avoid vibrations as far as possible. As before, I mounted the camera on a stable tripod. Admittedly, it is quite bleak there now in winter. Sharpness and contrastĪs a test scenario, I have chosen the same small scene from our garden as in the test of the 24-105mm lenses. But I just wanted to see how I personally get along with the lenses and which one is better suited for my purposes. Again, this test is not highly scientifically standardized, in that the website offers more accurate comparisons. Below, I’ve photographed it with the mounted drop-in filter mount adapter EF-EOS R* in comparison to the RF 24-105 f/4L, which makes it look significantly longer, and also makes it more than 200g heavier than the RF:Īs with with my test of the 24-105 lenses, I wanted to see for myself how the lens performs in real life in my hands compared to the RF 24-105 f/4L. It has an 82mm filter thread, the RF comes with 77mm, as does my EF 16-35 f/4L IS and my EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS II. The EF 24-70 f/2.8L II is about the same size as the RF (about 5mm longer and wider, about 100g heavier). In addition, I can still use the EF lens on my 5DSR. Also, I thought that on the Canon EOS R5 or R6, the built-in sensor stabilizer could compensate to some extent for the RF version’s lack of an optical IS. Optically, both versions are comparably very good, as can be seen, for example, in the comparison at. In total, I only paid about 1/3 of the price of an new RF 24-70 f/2.8L IS for the lens. I then stumbled across a very attractive offer for a 24-70mm f/2.8L II on eBay ( here are some current offers for the lens on eBay*) again and snapped it up. In addition, many Canon photographers are currently migrating to RF lenses after switching to the new EOS R5 or R6 bodies and often ” dump” their old EF lenses well below value, so there must still be some bargains to pick up? Furthermore, I also want to continue using my EOS 5DSR, so I am still very interested in EF lenses. However, must it be a RF mount lens?Īs I already own a large zoo of high-quality EF lenses, I already have very good experience with adapting EF lenses (especially with the option of using filters in the EF-EOS R drop-in filter mount adapter). Because of the faster speed, I’ve been flirting with an RF 24-70 f/2.8 IS - but up to now it’s been far too expensive for me.īy the way: More information about the Canon EOS R5 and EF lenses can be found in my detailed article Initial experiences with the new Canon EOS R5 and in many other articles on this website. For the range above that, I still own the excellent EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS II. But even though the RF 24-105 f/4L IS is better than the EF version, I wondered if there was a better option in the very frequently used focal length range, at least up to 70mm. ![]() As my comparative test of the EF and RF versions of the 24-105 f/4L IS on the Canon EOS R5 showed that the RF is better, I have meanwhile sold my EF 24-105, which has been hardly used in recent times anyway, to good hands via eBay.
