24-70 f/4 vs 24-70 f/2.8 II. And it looks like the 24-70 f/4 is superior in a number of critical areas when mounted on a 1DXMKII.
The 24-70 is obviously a fantastic lens, but maybe overkill unless you need 2.8 - if not, a lighter lens with more zoom is maybe the best way to go - the 70-120mm range really changes the kind of compositions you can get (and allows some semi-macro shots too). 2. pk_ • 1 yr. ago.
1. The 24-105 is a very usable range and for any slight differences from the 24-70/2.8 it produces nice images. I've had my 24-70 since '05 or so. My feeling is that for the range the 24-70 sample I have is nicer in color and sharpness across the frame.Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L: 70mm, 1/10th, f/2.8, ISO 800 Next I changed lenses to the 24-105mm lens, set it to 70mm and dialed in the exact same settings except the aperture which I set at the
On the sub-frame EOS-20D, the lens was tack sharp across the entire frame wide open, from 24-50mm. At 70mm, it softened slightly at f/2.8, but stopping down just to f/4.0 it was again excellent
You aren’t going to benefit from a 24-70 2.8. 2. Sillyak • 1 yr. ago. I shoot landscapes, so a 14-35 and 24-105 at f/4 are way more useful to me than a 24-70 f/2.8. Especially if you have a 50mm f/1.8. However a wedding or portrait photographer would probably find a 24-70 f/2.8 much more useful.

The Canon RF 70-200mm F4L IS USM is a full 26mm shorter and nearly 400g lighter than the F2.8 version, and as someone who has either owned or spent extensive time with all the EF F4 variants, I found the resulting package shockingly compact. It is only 14mm longer than my Canon EF 35mm F1.4L II prime, and is actually 65g lighter than the 35mmAB7JvVJ.
