Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS for EOS R Review (optically above DSLR variant, Photography Blog)

Canon RF 24-105mm F/4L IS Review Canon EOS R
View Post

Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS at a glance:

  • RF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
  • Aperture Range: f/4 to f/22
  • Super Spectra Coating
  • Nano USM AF System
  • Optical Image Stabilizer
  • Customizable Control Ring
  • Rounded 9-Blade Diaphragm

Photography Blog posted a comprehensive review of the new Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS lens for EOS R system.

The Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS appears to be another optical masterpiece by Canon.

From the conclusion:

The Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS is an excellent standard zoom lens that optically is a step above the equivalent DSLR variant, the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II, which incidentally is one of Canon’s most popular lenses.

The RF 24-105mm offers a very versatile focal range whilst being tack-sharp from 24mm to 85mm, both in the centre and at the edges of the frame. Sharpness at the far end of the telephoto range isn’t quite as good when shooting wide-open at f/4, but you only have to stop down to f/5.6 to get more than acceptable results. Overall the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS delivers excellent sharpness across the frame at most apertures. Vignetting at wide-open apertures and some barrel distortion at 24mm are the only other real optical issues of note.

Build quality is excellent, certainly up to the usual L-lens standard, with the built-in weather-proofing offering peace of mind in more inclement conditions.

Canon EOS R In-Depth Review by Photography Blog (and it starts shipping tomorrow)

Canon Eos R Firmware
View Post

Photography Blog posted their in-depth Canon EOS R review, complete with full-size sample images (JPG and raw, downloadable), videos and more information. The review is not without criticism.

Excerpts from the conclusion:

[…] the lack of IBIS on the Canon EOS R puts it at a distinct disadvantage, as does the rather curtailed 4K video mode and questionable design decisions, including the lack of an AF joystick, single card slot, curious M-Fn bar and lack of a shooting mode dial.

The new RF lenses are the real star of the show, especially the 50mm f/1.2 and 24-70mm f/2. They may be big, but they’re also fast, faster than any of their rivals, DSLR or otherwise. And they also show where Canon wants to take its new mirrorless system, aiming for quality at the expense of compactness.

Ultimately the Canon EOS R isn’t as DSLR-like as the Nikon Z7 and isn’t as well-specced as the Sony A7 III, but it’s definitely good enough to satisfy current Canon owners and newbies alike, and therefore to stem the recent flow of Canon’s prosumer base to Sony. Read the review…

We have serious hints that the next model in the EOS R series will sport a high resolution sensor. An interview with Canon execs also points in this direction.

The Canon EOS R starts shipping tomorrow, time to place your order :-)

After their pretty exhaustive first impression review, DPReview posted a 24 minutes video review about the Canon EOS R.

DPReview TV’s Chris and Jordan have been shooting the Canon EOS R for some time now, starting with the launch in Hawaii. In this video they tell what they think of its still photo capabilities and its unique controls, and tune in for probably the first-ever video performance analysis from a swimming pool. Enjoy.
