Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L is USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras - White Box (Bulk Packaging)

I have a Canon Rebel T4i and after playing with the lens that cam with the Camera (18-55), I soon realized I needed a better range. I read Many Many reviews and decided to buy this Lens. This is a White Box lens; meaning, the lens was taken out of another camera "kit" and sold seperatly from eachother. Companies do this so they can get more money for the body and lens. The Lens is identical to one you would buy for $100 more with the Box. If you are like me and don't plan to resell it soon (or would lose the box anyway) then save teh money and get this one. To start the lens is larger than I expected and heavier. Please see the size and weight, it makes a big difference in the weight of the camera. The lens is heavier but not enough to hinder me carrying it around. as expected with any L lens it's well made and Pictures are Amazing (see other reviews for samples ). It is worth the extra money to get the L series. I use the lens for my Children Mostly and landscape/ scenic pictures. If you were looking for something with a decent Zoom and Close-up this camera does the Job, for most. My children are in gymnastics and soccer. The picture quality at 105mm are not compromised and I was very happy. For Zooming Longer distances is a bit short; my next lens will be something 300mm. I would recemmend something up to 300mm if you want to see your children playing from a distance and crop in close. There is a 70-300mm DO that is much smaller than the White telephoto lenses but with the distance. Overall, I am very happy with the lens. It's a great lens to walk-around or everyday. For children playing and portraits the quality is as expected, Amazing. I only carry 2 lenses and This is One of them.

I started shooting (both stills and a good deal of video work) with a DSLR (Canon 60D) a little over 2 years ago and felt my photography/videography skills had advanced to the point where I could justify upgrading to Canon's L-series lenses. I had previously been using the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II kit lens, a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 prime and a Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS II telephoto lens. I wanted to cut back on the amount of gear I carried to just one main lens + my 50mm prime so I started looking for a good "everyday" lens that I could carry with me that would cover a decent range for the type of shooting I do (walking around the city, nature, people, events, vacations, short films, etc.) I spent weeks scouring Amazon, YouTube, Flickr and many other sites looking at pictures/videos taken with and reading/watching reviews of the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L II USM and the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM. As much as I loved everything about the 24-70mm, I felt it didn't cover a large enough range for the type of shooting I do and although not as good as the 24-70mm, the 24-105mm still had pretty good low light and night time shooting capabilities. Also, the 24-70mm f/2.8 was ~$1,000 more expensive than the 24-105mm. When I finally decided on the 24-105mm, I went to buy it on Amazon and came across two different versions available, with a $400 price difference between the two. I read through many of the reviews on both products to try and figure out the reason behind the price difference. Ultimately, the $749 version was shipped in a plane white box (not the original Canon box) and according many of the reviews, without a warranty; the $1,149 version was sold and shipped in the original Canon box with the lens warranty. I was a little hesitant at first to buy the lens without the original Canon box and warranty due to fears of the lens being a counterfeit knock-off but I also couldn't justify paying $400 more for just an official Canon box and warranty (especially when a three year accident protection warranty from SquareTrade for the lens would only cost $150, bringing the total up to $900 with the lens). I pulled the trigger and bought the $749 lens from Get it Digital (fulfilled by Amazon) and even though I am a Amazon Prime member and selected 2-day free Prime shipping, the lens arrived the NEXT DAY. Per the description from Get it Digital, the lens was a brand new lens that was removed from a Canon 5D Mark III kit. As other reviews had mentioned, it arrived in a plane white box; however, my lens arrived WITH the Canon limited warranty. The lens was brand new, not a single speck of dust or scratch could be found on it. I have been extremely satisfied with the superb quality of this lens, the photos/videos I have taken with it and I am even happier that I didn't spend an extra $400 just for a cardboard Canon box. I know that if I go to sell the lens in the future, not having the official Canon box will hurt the resale value slightly. However, this has become my main lens that fits perfectly for all of my shooting needs and I don't foresee myself selling the lens in the near future, therefore having the original box seems nonsensical. If you're like me and don't see the need to have the original Canon box and warranty (although if you buy it on Amazon from Get it Digital, chances are it might arrive with the Canon warranty like mine did), then I would suggest saving yourself $400 and buying the white-box version (likely brand new from a 5D Mark III kit box).

About the seller: Absolutely blown away! This came from S.Korea, stopped in Ohio?, and then was delivered to Arizona; from the moment I confirmed the purchase to having it delivered was 53 hours! It came way before the expected arrival date! Plus the packaging was very secure, and the lens/accessories are in perfect condition! About the lens: This is an amazing lens! Even though it is an older model, it still performs beautifully. If you are only interested in still photography, then consider this a 5 star lens. If you are interested in video work, there are a few points to keep in mind. The reason I gave it four stars for AF is that it is very difficult to correctly focus without manual focus for video with this particular lens. For still photos it is great, but not for any film work. As for image stabilization, a similar note. For still photos it's fine. But this model can produce an annoying motor sound, which is picked up by lower quality mics. Still, the lens is a great addition to any camera bag; and for the price, it is worth working around any of the fore-mentioned obstacles.

Purchased item from Another Deal Site fulfilled by Amazon. Item came in a plain white box, not the canon manufactured box. This set a red flag up to me that the item was not a USA product, which meant that it was a GREY MARKET product. Amazon should NOT allow companies that aren't Canon Certified Sellers to sell products on their website or at least inform customers that it is a GREY MARKET item. I called Canon and spoke to Canon about my purchase through Amazon and this is what I was told if they aren't on Canon's list of certified sellers the WARRANTY is NOT VALID and should something go wrong with the product CANON you will NOT be responsible for the repair of the product, because the so called 1 year warranty that came with the product is CRAP. They also told me that sometimes CANON will not repair the item in the USA, because it is GREY MARKET item you will have to send it back to the COUNTRY of origin. Canon also told me that just, because Amazon is fulfilling the product doesn't make it a valid USA WARRANTY. Had this item been sold by Amazon and fulfilled by Amazon it would have been a valid USA WARRANTY. I suggest buyers go to CANONS Website and check the list of Valid CANON CERTIFIED SELLERS before they purchase the product. Another Deal Site and Get it Digital are not on the list and Amazon should not allow them to sell the product without listing it GREY MARKET!!! Unhappy with my findings, I returned the product.

While it is one of the less expensive L series Canon lenses, the picture quality is amazing. Even though it is an F4 lens, it still has decent low light ability compared to comparable lenses on the market of the same aperture rating. This lens delivers exceptional sharpness and focus is spot on. The IS works very well and allows for a couple of stops down on shutter. It is a lighter lens with a plastic body but it is still very well built and has well earned the L series reputation. It is one of my three go everywhere with me lenses. The other two are the 70-200mm Canon F2.8 and the Canon 85mm F1.8. The 24-105 is an amazing lens capable of being used for a wide range of photography styles.

After many reviews, I had originally purchased the Canon 28-135 because of the price point, and good reviews; but I was very disappointed in the speed and optical quality of that lens. Because this focal length makes for a very good walk-around lens, I decided to bite the bullet and poney up the cash for this lens. From my experience with it so far, it's night and day compared to the 28-135 - the speed, the quality of picture (very sharp) and the build quality is excellent. Yes I realize I'm comparing an "L" lens to one that isn't; but from my experience the 28-135 isn't even close to this 24-105. My expectations were definitely met with this lens, and would highly recommend you save up ($300 more) for this lens, rather than making the same mistake that I made and settle for the 28-135 only to be disappointed. By the way, because of the price ~$800 I was expecting that it would not come with the bag, and hood, so I purchased a hood for $6.00, although it was a waste of money since my 24-105 came with both; the authentic Canon lens bag and hood (so don't bother buying a lens hood if you order this lens).

Good lens it has a nice wide front to the lens and very high quality glass. The lens hood is a good thing to have included. This works great for night time photography and has well marked focal distances making it easier to focus and understand the distance your focused at when it’s too dark to focus through the viewfinder with your eyes. It autofocus’s well with the camera body but it’s a little bit of a loud focus and it makes more noise then significantly larger telephoto lenses (not as ideal for taking pictures of lizards bugs and frogs nearby as a quieter lens would be) and is stable even for long exposures at night. The lens will telescope if you you walk with the lens hood on. This can be annoying as a hiker. 4.5of 5. The first night photo I took with this lens is above.

Not sure if others have had issues with htis or not, but my lens would cause severe smearing/blur/shake hand held at any f-stop above f-4. From F- 4.5 up, all shots below say 1/30 of a second showed severe shake blur- I was gettign better shots without IS below 1/3 of a second- even handhhnadholding this lens with no IS at 2 seconds, the photos had less shake blur than when hte IS was on- this happened every time I tested shooting both ways- I tried it on another camera, and same issue- wide open, the IS worked flawlessly. I suspected soemthign was wrogn hte first day I got the lens, and thought "I was gettign way slower photos than that without any blur with my cheapo kit lens 18-135 IS, why is there such a blur at 1/20 second with this lens?" I then tested it out hte next day, and usre enough, the IS was actually causing blur hand held. I was very dissappointed as I really wanted this lens to replace my kit lens 18-135. I will say however that the shots I got with the lens with high shutter speeds looked very good with great contrast and color compared to my old 18-135 IS. The feel of the lens was solid and comfortable unlike the 18-135 IS which just felt cheap and plastic. The 24-105 was also very smooth action and a real pleasure to use compared to the 18-135 IS. Coupled with the Canon 1DX it was making soem very fine photos- I just wished my particular 24-105 didn't have the defective IS as I was really really wantign to use it with my new Canon 1DX for soem truly superb photos. What few photos I did get with hte combo looked really nice- so that's why I gave the review 4 stars- the lens IQ was fantastic compared to my old 18-135 IS, but mechanically, I just got a defective unit sadly- which I had to pay shipping back to the seller, but thankfully it was only around $10 with insurance applied- but still- I'd rather be shootign this lens daily instead of havign to wait for the refund swo I can go out and find one and try before buying (I'll know right away if ones I try do the same IS shake/blur thing- it's that obvious when hte IS is defective- wish I knew how to upload a photo to show how bad the shake blur was- but basically, you literally could not tell what an item was- it was that bad- Shots of text, there was no way you could read it- it was all a severe blur/shake- and always in a diagonal direction too-top left to bottom right - all three issues were present- Overall, the sharpness,clarity,color,contrast with htis lens was fantastic- The versatility is pretty good too, although I will miss the 18-136 range of my old kit lens, which seemed almost perfect range (around 150 or therabouts for the long end would be really good in my opinion), and liek I said, the build quality was really nice too- it also had full time manual override for the focusing which is really nice too for those times when you try to focus on a bird or deer or soemthign near brush, and the lens can't lock onto subject- fumbling for the manual switch often makes you lose focus altogether- but haviing full time manual override means you can keep focus o nthe subject while focussing the manual focus ring- The weight was good for me too- It woudl probably be a bit heavy for some, but I liek the weight just fine- but of course I lug around the Sigma Bigma all day too, so the 24-105 felt liek a featherweight to me-

Dopo essermi documentato opportunamente, ho sperimentato con successo l'abbinamento della mia Sony a7rII con il Canon 24-105 attraverso l'adattore Fotodiox acquistato su sito francese di Amazon a questo link: https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00D9BKLX8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (purtroppo al tempo dell'acquisto, sul sito italiano non era presente) La scelta dell'adattore Fotodiox è stata guidata da una serie di comparazioni trovate in rete, con adattatori più blasonati che, messi in pratica, si comportano alla stessa maniera. Inoltre, la compatibilità dell'adattatore è ampia e comprende anche questo bell'obiettivo. Il Canon quindi, montato sulla Sony a7rII si comporta egregiamente, inoltre su questa fantastica mirrorless, oltre allo stabilizzatore del corpo macchina, beneficio anche dello stabilizzatore della lente (si, all'unisono!) per scatti ancora più stabili e a mano libera. L'escursione focale a F4 è molto buona e la resa cromatica è molto bella, con colori vivaci e caldi per mio gusto personale. L'autofocus è reattivo e veloce. Non ho notato una distorsione a 24mm così forte come lamentato da altri e, comunque, è sistemabile facilmente in post produzione. Rispetto il corpo macchina risulta 100gr più pesante, ma tutto l'insieme risulta perfettamente equilibrato. Non posso far altro che suggerire anche ai fotografi legati al mondo Sony di sperimentare questo connubio che permette di avere, ad un prezzo competitivo, una lente di prima qualità con una focale e una luminosità utilizzabile nella maggior parte delle situazioni.

This lens is absolutely stunning on a crop-sensor body (I use it with a Canon 60D). I've been using a canon EFS 15-85, which is a superb lens, for quite some time and was very pleased with its results, but I'd had a hankering for the EF 24-105L which I finally gave into once Canon announced their Winter cash-back promotion (£80 back) and I'm so glad I did! In fact I wish I'd bought this lens ages ago, even for full price! The lens is absolutely tack-sharp, even wide open, at short to medium focal lengths, and is very-good/excellent across the board at any focal-length/aperture. Contrast is nothing short of staggering too. The optical quality of this zoom lens leaves me speechless, it's on a par with some of Canon's best primes to my eye, whilst also offering the flexibility of zooming. Some people say that the 24mm wide-end isn't wide enough for a crop sensor body, but I find that outside it's adequately wide for most shots, and the long-end 105mm is a reasonably long medium telephoto equivalent, making this an ideal walk-around lens for just about any situation. Indoors you may want something a little wider, but it's still great for portraits and anything except group shots. The constant maximum aperture is a real boon if you're operating the camera in Manual mode, or you're "spot-metering" by zooming-in to obtain a meter reading (especially useful when using flash), and the ability of the lens to yield such good results even wide-open opens up realms of creativity which aren't available when using less proficient optics and using f/8 to give a reasonably sharp image. The Image Stabilisation is one of Canon's 3-stop equivalent systems, not the 4-stop variety seen on the newest long lenses, but still very proficient and useful. The autofocus uses Canon's ring-type ultrasonic motor which is lightning-fast and ceaselessly accurate. This may be a 10 year old lens design but it find it a first-class piece of glass and can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who's after top-spec optics at a reasonable price!

Seit gut einem Jahr nutze Ich jetzt schon das 24-105 , zusammen mit meiner Canon Eos 70D liefert dieses Objektiv eine Top Abbildungsleistung. Bei einer Blende 4 ist das Objektiv nicht extrem scharf aber die die Schärfe ist schon gut und ab 5,6 ist die Schärfe hervorragend. weiteres Abblenden verbessert die Bildqualität kaum noch weiter. Wenn man diese Objektiv an einer APSC Kamera wie meiner 70D verwendet verwendet aus 24-105 mm durch den Cropfaktor von 1,6 38mm-168mm auf Kleinbild umgerecht. die 170mm im Tele sind oft sehr praktisch da ich so kaum noch ein Teleobjektiv benötige und so die Ausrüstung um einiges leicht wird. Ich habe das Objektiv knapp ein Jahr an einer Canon 70d genutzt und die niedrigeren Brennweiten unter 38mm kaum vermisst. Mittlerweile bin ich in Besitz einer Vollformatkamera die Canon 5D Mark 3 und verwende es immer noch mit grösster Begeisterung als Standartobjektiv es liefert auch an einer sehr hochauflösenden Kamera wie der 5D3 sehr gute und Scharfe Ergebnisse. Bokeh (Hintergrundunschärfe) durch die 8 Blendenlamellen ist die Unschärfe sehr schön kreisrund und sehr weich. Verarbeitung : Diese Objektive wie alle Canon L Objektive ist Spritzwasser und Staubgeschützt. die Verabeitung ist sehr hochwertig Der Bajonettanschluss ist komplett aus Metall und sonst ist das Objektivs aus hochwertigem Kunstoff Das Objektiv ist mit 670 g auch recht schwer mit einer dreistelligen Kamera wie z.b. mit einer 750D wird es schon recht frontlastig. bei einer 70d oder höher ist das Objektiv nicht mehr zu frontlastig. Der Fokusring und Zoomring läuft sehr flüssig was sich sehr gut fürs Filmen eignet. USM Autofokus: Der Autofokus des Objektives fokussiert extrem schnell und ziemlich leise es gibt kaum Ausschuss. IS :Der Bildstabilistator gleicht 3 Blendenstufen aus , und kann das Bild auch recht selbst beim Handheld filmen ruhig halten. Der Bildstabilisator erzeugt jedoch deutlich hörbare geräusche die vom internen Mikrofon der Kamera aufgenommen werden. Fazit: Für mich ist das 24-105 F4 L mein aller liebstes Immerdrauf Objektiv besonders auf Reisen ist es einfach unglaublich Flexibel und bietet eine vorzüglich Abbildungleistung. ich kann das Objektiv sehr empfehlen es ist seinen hohen Preis meiner Meinung nach wert. Pro: Sehr Flexibler Zoombereich und der sich für fast alle Motive eignet besonders auf Reisen ist es mehr als Praktisch da man nicht zu viele Objektive benötigt , Die sehr gute Abbildungsleistung hat mich sehr überzeugt. Verarbeitung: Das Objektiv ist recht schwer und ist sehr gut Verarbeitet. Die mitgeliferte Gegenlichtblende verhindert Streulicht sehr gut , der ebenfalls mitgelieferterte Objektivbeutel schützt das Objektiv vor Stössen und Kratzern. Contra : Hoher Preis (der aber für die gebotene Leistung aber voll inordung geht. Blende 4,0

Excellent Lens. Little on the heavier side. Using it with Canon EOS 600d. First few clicks were not extraordinary but the quality kept on improving on usage. Of course, this is nothing to do with the lens.

Canonの24-105mmF4は３世代使ってきましたが、この第一世代もとても良いレンズでした。 一般に言われる解像力不足というのは、実際はこの第一世代でも全く問題無いです。少なくとも4500万画素のR5では十分使えます。特にシャープに撮りたい時はF5.6など少し絞ると良いです。 手振れ補正も望遠端でも十分機能するので、安心して使用できます。 Lレンズらしい発色の良さもしっかり持っているので、他人に納品する写真を撮る用のレンズとしても使えます。 不満点としては、第二世代やRFと比較すると太陽などの光源が入った時にフレアやコントラストの低下が少し見られます。RAW現像でも直しづらい時が有るので、逆光耐性を求めるなら新しいレンズの方をおすすめします。 また、カメラを下に向けるとズームが動いてしまうことで、それ以外は実用上全く問題ありません。Canonの標準ズームとして、とりあえずこの24-105mmを買っておけばOKです。
