Okay so today it is time to talk about one of my favorite lenses the 24-105mm. In this case I’m talking about the RF 24-105 f4 but there are a lot of other versions out there for all kind of camera brands. So it’s not just about the RF version – it’s about the 24-105 in general. 

And if you follow me on Instagram you’ll notice that this lens is in my camera bagall the time and that’s why I want to talk about my top 5 reasons why it’s such a fantastic lens. And let’s get started with number 1 – The 24-105 is a versatile lens.

Versatile
So in most cases when I don’t really know what kind of photos I want to take I mostly start with the 24-105 and the reason why I do that is because it offers this huge range that I can use to take all kind of shots.

I can take these awesome wide shots using 24mm – I can take some great portraits with 35mm, 50mm or 85mm and I can zoom all the way in to 105mm if I need to get really close to a key-element. So it’s nearly a all-in-one lens and that makes this lens so special. Especially in situations where you don’t know what kind of things you need to do it is always annoying to switch between lenses all the time. Or maybe you don’t have the right lens for this situation. But with the 24-105 you can easily use just this lens for a variety of shots and you are always prepared for all kind of scenarios.

Size & Weight 
Another reason that we need to talk about is all about Size and Weight. And yes of course the 24-105 isn’t a small lens like the 35mm for example. But in my opinion if you think about what kind of things this lens offers it is actually not a big deal. I mean if you want to have the same range with 2.8 lenses you need the 24-70 and the 70-200. And if you want to carry these two lenses you need more space and the weight is completely different here. Of course – yes – these 2.8 lenses have some different features and advantages – so don’t get me wrong here but especially if you don’t want to carry multiple lenses or if you need to travel light the 24-105 is the best option. In this case it’s just one camera and one lens and thats it.

Image Quality & Aperture
The next reason is all about Image Quality. And the image quality of the 24-105 is just awesome. I tested this lens in a variety of situations like event, nature and street photography and I always loved the final results. Of course you will notice the f4 limitation in low light situations but especially if you work with some newer cameras this is still fine. I will share my last Street Photography Session with the 24-104 with you guys – so if you are interested in some sample shots definitely check that out or head over to Instagram and follow me there. Thats a perfect place to see some before and after shots and a lot of examples of a variety of lenses.

Price
And of course we need to talk about the Price as well. So in this case I’m talking about the Rf Versions. You can get started with such a lens fairly cheap. You can get the RF 24-105 f4 – 7.1 IS STM for around 400 to 500 dollar and is a great price for such a versatile lens. Of course this is f4 – 7.1 lens but it’s such cheap opportunity to get started. And especially if you use the RF mount you know that RF lenses aren’t that cheap at all. But on the other hand you have the option to buy the f4 version which is even better because you don’t have the f4 to 7.1 range when you zoom in. So if you buy your first RF mount camera you can easily pick up one of these lenses as your kit lens and get started.

Beginner Friendly
But now let’s move and to the next reason why the 24-105 is a great lens. And this reason is a combination of things. So what I’m talking about is that the 24-105 is a beginner friendly lens because as I started to learn more and more about photography I actually had no idea what kind of photos I want to take or what kind of lenses I need for all kind of photos. But the 24-105 is actually a great way to test all these kind of things. As I already mentioned this lens is versatile. You want to try some wide-angle landscape photography? Go for it. Just use the 24mm and here we go. Or maybe use it to get into Street Photography. So especially for all those beginner photographers out there: Such a lens here is a great opportunity to get started and to figure out what you like to do and what you don’t like to do. And later on you can easily buy specific lenses because you already know that you maybe need a zoom lens to improve your bird photography. So if you are just getting started maybe think about to get one of these lenses.

Stay Frosty!
