The RF 24–105mm and CANON EOS R

The kit that does it all?

I am a lazy photographer... and you are too. I am joking of course, but I am sure, you are at least a little bit. But what if I told you that you could use one and only one lens for all of your photoshoots?

The ESO R has been available for some time now and the proposed kit lens is an interesting one! It's an L lens and can be considered as an all-purpose lens. The RF 24 - 105mm F4 lens, the one that does it all? The only way to find out is to actually use it, I tried to use this lens, and this lens only for all my shoots for 2 weeks... and I kind of failed.

I've said it in my previous post, there are at least 2 key features that are missing for me with this lens.

  1. it's not fast enough (it stops at f4)

  2. I work a lot around 24mm and below... so sometimes I need that extra "wide" for some shots.

Apart from that, it's a great overall lens that would please a lot of you guys out there. It feels solid, it has a bit of weight, but not too much... It isn't too slow when focusing and is quiet and responsive.

I've noticed a little bit of vignetting when open at 24mm on my images but nothing too distracting... some chromatic aberration here and there especially at F4, but if you use Lightroom or Photoshop, this is not something you can't overcome.

The overall sharpness is great, it is an L lens... Owning this lens will not be a mistake.

If you plan on buying the EOS R, this kit is a solid one. One that can let you unleash your creativity and help you make almost all the pictures you want with great results...

Christmas is around the corner... Maybe ask Santa for this kit! Maeva K (La Halle de la Cartoucherie - Toulouse) Canon EOSR & RF 24 - 104mm f4L IS 1/160sec f4 ISO 800 at 24mm
