Type of review

Well-balanced macro/near sharpness. For some reason, using this glass on the crop necessitates using the manual settings for both aperture and focus. Not much stands out as an improvement over the standard whale when it comes to P + AF. As the weather improves and I can take some photos in manual mode with MF, I may reevaluate the rating. Nonetheless, I'm not satisfied with the purchase. The lens is so delicate that even the slightest drop causes it to shatter, as reported by every reviewer.

Pros
  • L-ka. Not astronomically costly. Zooming in and out is easy. Conspicuously sized; seems and feels robust (I love it). After that, going full frame becomes an option.
Cons
  • Thought it would be better. I didn't see much of a change after comparing it to the whale, which is 7 times cheaper (60D). Of course, I did not take the exact identical pictures, but I did compare them to the more recent ones taken at roughly the same height. When zoomed out to its maximum and intermediate distances, image quality suffers.

A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

I bought it from me for $25,000 when it was worth $35–50,000 in stores following price rises. Overall, I'm quite happy; I didn't like the sharpness in the whale 18-55, but everything is perfect here. I like the appearance, autofocus, sharpness, and everything else. I am extremely happy with the purchase because I no longer need to carry around a lot of glasses and have 24-105 with me.

Pros
  • - Clarity (better compared to whale 18-55) Flexible focal lengths; "Elka"; incredibly quick and relatively quiet autofocus; sturdy build
Cons
  • 24 on the grease's borders and a mild soapiness at 105

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

An outstanding worker and member of the FF team personnel (I use it from 5dm2). Naturally, he does not have "enough stars" with his aperture and pattern, but he is quite consistent in terms of the outcomes he achieves under a variety of settings, which is something that is highly valued in the reporting genre. I am appreciative of it in this regard. By the way, I remember that not too long ago there was a time when the price difference between the 24-105/4 and the 24-70/2.8 (first generation)…

Pros
  • Invariant under any and all circumstances. At this time, the pricing is reasonable.
Cons
  • Hares can be captured using a lighting that is either brighter or less bright. To illustrate, the color rendering is nothing special.

Great product, best quality.

I won't repeat what has been said a hundred times—he is Elka, he is at the most widely used focal lengths, etc. Nonetheless, it is incredibly trite, literal, and predictable. He is like a Japanese robot; he is willing to perform everything with incredible quality, but he lacks creativity and inspiration. He also won't write poetry for you or draw a picture for you. The best option for a reportage, but not for a portrait, nor for capturing the beauty of nature or a sunset. I dislike universal…

Pros
  • Great reporter, serious, top-notch, trustworthy, and executive
Cons
  • Banal

Satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

Acquired simultaneously with the Canon 5D Mark II and used for a period of half a year. It is a good travel zoom since it is versatile and it covers all of the focal lengths currently in use. On the other hand, when it comes to artistic photography, I find that luminous lenses are more appealing. I decided to sell it and invest on a 135mm f/2 instead. Aperture 4 was simply not enough for me, and I am a proponent of corrections; as the staffer is portrayed by a 50mm f/1.4 lens, this is…

Pros
  • - superior construction - adaptability - precision
Cons
  • - there is no justification for the price - the retractable component is of no use at all - the aperture is quite narrow

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

I think I had it for around six months before I sold it; I was after universality and I found it. I was able to sell it, and now I'm considering going for 17-40. well, perhaps for a variety of reasons, but I have come to the conclusion that I require everything to be precisely as it is, and the FR is not nearly as significant. I went on vacation to Spain, and although the country is beautiful, I didn't want to take pictures from a bus because I wanted to go up up and personal. Universalism is…

Pros
  • Easily focuses, maintains silence and craftsmanship, and has a hole at 4
Cons
  • I used a Canon 50D, but maybe if I had used an earlier model I could have shown myself off better. I had higher expectations.

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

This lens excels as a general purpose option. There were 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8 + Converter lenses available before that. It magnifies2 times and has an aperture of(.)50/1.4. As I do most of my shooting on vacations and in unfamiliar locations rather than in a fixed studio, portability and light weight have become important considerations. I got rid of the zooms and only took the universal, yet I still managed to leave fifty kopecks. This glass is top-notch in every way. In comparison to the…

Pros
  • Compact, long-lasting, adaptable, and bright Focuses rapidly and correctly, produces sharp images from f/4, and has excellent detail on a 5DMK2. Costs less than you may think.
Cons
  • 24-40mm focal length, usable f-stop range, quite high chromatic output

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

cost me 22k instead of 15-85 when I bought it. With this one, we hit 28k. I honestly believed I was switching out soap for the awl, but the distinction was so striking that everyone could see it with their bare eyes. not necessarily a bonus, in reality not everyone likes pictures now, all the little hairs on the face, all the wrinkles, and so on have become obvious. The 60D crop is perfect for taking stunning pictures; my current favorite settings are 170mm at f/4.

Pros
  • The range of hues, the clarity at f4, the length of the focal lengths, the skill with which they were constructed
Cons
  • loud steady-stater

The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

Please don't hold my lack of experience against me too harshly. Yet, they have been using DSLRs for almost four years now. Before that, I tried a whale 18-55, then a fifty bucks 1.8 (which I loved for portraits), then an 18-135 (which I kept for two years and sold after only one week of use), and finally, a sigma 75-300 (which I also quickly resold). My mind kept going to L-ke. After deliberating for quite some time, I decided to read. This is what I decided on. So, I traded in my 18-135. When…

Pros
  • EVERYTHING! ABSOLUTE JOY!
Cons
  • There's a minor problem with lighting in here, but that's easily fixed by bumping up the ISO (400 is plenty).

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

Approximately 2 years ago, I began using the Canon 5D. I initially stole it from a close buddy, but later I went out and bought it for myself. My friend utterly refused to sell me his own lens despite the fact that we were in the presence of a very large collection of lenses. I purchased a used lens over the internet that had a production date of just February 2022. At the time, there were complaints about the way the stub worked, but I ignored those reviews and bought the lens anyway. After…

Pros
  • Versatility. Ease. Sharpness. Stab. The relative swiftness and precision of the focussing process.
Cons
  • As compared to the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM, the image lacks the artistry and vitality of its predecessor. There are certain scenes in which "ugly" bokeh is produced.

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

Even though I shot my copy in the rain and it is now 5 years old, it is in perfect condition. By upgrading to a 6D from a 60D, I've noticed that the aperture ratio issue has all but vanished (FF is FF). If you want to portray yourself as a responsible actor, you should only use the RAF for your parallel shooting needs. It's true that you can get ringing sharpness from the fifty dollar 1,4; however, from the 24-105, even in manual mode and in RAF, you can tighten up the color rendition no worse…

Pros
  • Cutting, cost, adaptability, and stabilizer, though not very dark, fantastic velocity with almost any crashes. That's fantastic for video use.
Cons
  • The trunk is dark on the crop, but that's not a huge deal either, and it eventually dies.

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

They're much like any other workhorse, in that they may be put to use in a variety of settings, from the studio to the field. Used for posed portraits, cultural photography, and weddings. The greatest of the "universal lenses," in fact. Yes, there is a logical next step. The 24-70 F4 IS could be the next step, but its exorbitant cost puts it out of reach for most people, and reviews have been mixed. It also has its share of flaws, so if we were to rank Kenon's standard-issue universal lenses…

Pros
  • a nice picture, with only good fixes making it better, readily correctable chromatism, and a stabilizer, which is useful for both photography and videography, in contrast to many other glasses. A lens designed for expansion, it works with both cropped and full-frame sensors. You can tell you're looking at high-quality optics rather than cheap whale trash because of its heft and distinctive red stripe.
Cons
  • Long-focus soaps, cropped to a 24mm lens, can't always rely on a wide-enough corner.

One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

I find it useful for crop, as the available focal lengths meet my requirements. There is a width for use while photographing indoors. This lens is typically positioned over the carcass. The sharpness is excellent, though not as well as the 70-200/4 IS. Although it could have been an issue in FF, I think the lens hood could have been improved by making it deeper. I just can't give this lens the same kind of glowing evaluation that others have given it; for me, it's just an average lens that will

Pros

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

Cheerful as an elephant Before that, I used 50mm 1.8 for almost 1.5 years, the time has come when it's time to change the glass in accordance with the sensations. I bought it from a friend in the fall for 20 sput, he switched to 28-300L, he's also pleased that it was on time). I messed up, but first impressions are "yes, things." The photos are much higher quality now that their focal lengths are more manageable; for example, 105mm portraits look very sharp and tasty when cropped to 168mm and…

Pros
  • Consider the cost, sharpness, stabilization, color accuracy, excellent backlight retention, portability, build quality, and lens hood. I have zero complaints about my 60D's performance or aesthetics.
Cons
  • Hanging the picture over your shoulder causes the trunk to detach, but this isn't an issue for me. Adaptation will be required, but this is in no way a drawback. I've been looking for it for the past six months with no success.

A fantastic lens for taking pictures in difficult lighting circumstances (in moderation, of course). Its aperture and focal lengths are just irreplaceable in a reportage. You can feel envious of people who started taking photos with this lens. Out of 300 frames taken with my lens, only one is smeared in the report. Excellent in the studio (assuming you don't have repairs). Obviously, the cost is not low, but considering the stub, it is (somewhat) worthwhile.

Pros
  • As compared to other lenses, this lens is very light, sharp at all focal lengths (f/4), quick to focus, and reasonably priced. It is also EXTREMELY EXCELLENT DUST PROOF!
Cons
  • Protection of the "trunk" (when sand and dust entered (motocross report), it squeaked for a few weeks but nothing entered). I need a copy. modification necessary

The best thing I've ever used, a great item for everyone!

For the past eight years, I've been looking through this lens. And he never had any issues, not even in temperatures as low as -30 degrees, not even in the heat, not even in the rain, and not even in the muck. If you insist on finding fault, you won't be able to use a polarizing filter if the lens hood is already attached, and I'd prefer a wider aperture. But the marketers at Canon are steadfast in their stance, insisting that customers pick between a stabilizer and aperture when making their…

Pros
  • - adaptability; - rapid and precise focusing; - an image stabilizer; - adequate sharpness; - attractive colors and a pattern; - a construction that is sturdy and dependable - dust and moisture prevention.
Cons
  • chromatic aberrations; catches "hares" in the backlight; cannot be used for macro photography in any way, shape, or form.

One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

You can shoot anything at all. There is no merit to criticisms of the use as a portrait painter. 100-105 mm at the long end is suitable for a portrait. If you utilize one lens to replace a set of two lenses, such as 24-70 and 70-200, you will gain a lot of weight. The 24-70 and 70-200 Canon lenses are all top-notch, and they work well at both apertures of 2.8 and 4 and with and without a stub (70-200 of course). But, it is a bit hefty to carry around two lenses when you don't need to. The two…

Pros
  • strong worker worked for five years without any issues. global focal point It works with both cropped and full-frame DSLRs as a standard one. It doesn't weigh much. The cost of these optics is not excessively high.
Cons
  • For me, no. To prevent vignetting while utilizing flashes, the lens hood should only be removed at short focal lengths.

The best thing for the money, I'm glad I chose this option.

It seems the lens is rather content. Its "L" moniker is not without merit; the image quality it provides is superb. Its autofocus is exceptionally persistent (even at dusk it starts to act up almost in complete darkness). Outside, it produces stunning images, but indoors, the camera's small aperture becomes apparent. When paired with a fixed 50 f/1.4 street-indoor lens, I believe it will shine. I wouldn't wear it without a hood around him because of his affinity for hares.

Pros
  • Color accuracy, wide field of view, sharpness, in-camera image stabilization—IS usually comes to the rescue.
Cons
  • f/4 Hog-Hunting

Fits the description completely, very satisfying.

This is a topic I've been wanting to explore in writing for quite some time now. In my opinion, this is one of Canon's most underappreciated lenses. It is certain that the lens is only compatible with full-frame cameras. The crop he had had a lens equivalent to a toy whale zoom. The image showed on the full frame, complete with sharpness and bokeh—in other words, all the strengths. It's a must-have for every photographer or filmmaker, as it can be used for both reportage and studio work. For…

Pros
  • Autofocus that locks on quickly and precisely; high-quality, dependable build (dust and moisture protection, metal case) Focal Lengths That Work Anywhere (I shot absolutely everything on it, from macro and portraits to studio shooting and of course reports). Excellent for filming and taking stills - A video camera with a built-in image stabilizer (fotkal with hands at 1/10 - no blurring) is a must-have. - Excellent clarity, on par with other fixed lenses (that are not Elks) at equivalent apertures. - Appearance of Color (color juicy, saturated, a minimum of "stray" colors) Supports backlighting quite well.
Cons
  • Unfortunately, not at this pricing point. Swearing at the level of crispness, it's actually quite impressive for a zoom (if a normal instance). Well, fellas, the small f4 aperture and the low cost of an elka around here are a nice match. Yes, I'm not bothered by a swaying trunk caused by the weight of its contents.

I'm satisfied, it's a good purchase.

I've had the kit with the 5dm2 for almost two years now and have used it extensively. Overall, first reactions are favorable. Having read evaluations, I can attest to the fact that the f/4 compensation is mentioned in connection with the stub. While this is true while recording still scenes, it is not always the case. For example, if the first dance of the young is going to be held in a normal, spacious restaurant like the Paradise Hall on Domodevskaya (which can hold 500 or more people)…

Pros
  • Superb for video in every respect, including being sharp, quiet, dependable, and lightweight.
Cons
