Review on Black Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM Lens - Model 1380C002 by Dimitar Kuzmanov ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good and quality product, but there are flaws.

Pick one out of the many available (!) Unlike the 70-200 F4IS, from which images literally breathe air and ring with sharpness, the L-ka will not be shooting on the F4 frames that are pleasing to the eye in every regard. While the right lens is preferable, having the 24-105 on hand for the other 10% of the time is a huge help. Overall, I'd give it a strong 4—maybe even a 5.

Pros
  • Adaptable, which is always a bonus. Appropriate for use as a member of staff. Slim and light (when compared to the more common 24-70L). Anti-Shake Device, although of Older Design.
Cons
  • Consequences, however, can be expected everywhere. On a 21MP FF sensor, the lens is working at its resolution limit, resulting in substantial chromatic aberrations (3-4 pixels thick) and geometric distortions at the far end. It's unfortunate that the design didn't allow for a fully enclosed casing to be made, since it would have resembled a "vacuum cleaner" in appearance. A "Bokeh" is a computer—cold, robotic, and calculating. Overrated by only a hair.
