Review on πŸ” Canon EOS SLR Cameras EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens - Bulk Packaging (White Box) by Hideo Kawae ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The right product for me, the price suited me.

Tried. Adjusted. Poyuzal his month. I did not see any particularly noticeable soap on the long one, nor critical distortion on the short one. I wouldn't say he's bad, no. Stub; hole 4 is not a problem if you think over what and how you will shoot. Nevertheless, good, but not great; Still not in the top ten. He, like a beautiful woman, is not my type: blonde, everything seems to be with her, but something is not right, not yours: I love brunettes. I decided to buy 24-70 L-II after all. I sold this subject in 2 days with a small loss (there were many who wanted to buy); I bought a 24-70L II, about which I can say: this is not a lens, but an expensive achievable dream, a fairy tale (look for a review in the corresponding section). My conclusion (IMHO) is this: it's best to have a set of fixes, plus for travel and for the lazy, a similar lens so as not to run around with your feet. Or 24-70 2.8 L I-II-III + 70-200 2.8 L IS II (more preferable, but expensive - about 140 thousand, however).

Pros
  • 1. The stub compensates for hole 4 at slow shutter speeds; 2. Focal length range is very good, 3. Ideal price-quality ratio 4. The right kit for FF 6. If you want to sell, there will be no problems, the loss is about 20%, if quickly.
Cons
  • 1. Based on my own experience and from the information received from colleagues, I was convinced that this particular model almost always needs to be adjusted, and not even for a specific carcass, but in a standard one. 2. Oddly enough for L, the weak side is the build quality and components, since this is the only L that is sold mainly (at least in St. Petersburg) in the OEM version, which cannot but be alarming, because this means that SUBJ can be assembled anywhere (maybe that's why they all need adjustment?). Therefore, when buying, ask if it has a native box, and if it is not branded, but just white, it is OEM. My friend's stub control board flew in such a lens after six months of operation, he repaired it in the service. 3. Loses to all three 24-70 in sharpness. 4. There is practically no drawing of its own.
