Examples of the Zoom Range of the Canon 24-105mm F4 IS USM Zoom Lens

Here are some practical examples of the zoom range of the Canon 24-105mm ƒ/4 IS USM lens, a kit lens option with the Canon R5 mirrorless camera.

Here I’m focusing on the Canon 24-105mm F4 IS USM zoom lens.

This lens is one of the kit lens options with the new Canon EOS R5 mirrorless camera, which is the camera I’m using it on here. You can, of course, also buy the camera body alone and pair with another lens separately. But I’m posting these images for anyone who might be trying to decide whether to get the kit lens or not.

It has a zoom range from a wide-angle 24mm to a moderate telephoto of 105mm. The 24mm focal length is a favorite of mine; I really like it for general travel photography. The 105mm focal length is a moderate telephoto that’s pretty much a standard for traditional portrait photography (and macro photography, but this isn’t a macro lens). And since the R5 body has a full-frame sensor, you get full value for the focal lengths (i.e., on a cropped sensor, you’d get a magnified version). This lens has a fixed maximum aperture of ƒ/4 throughout the zoom range. And it also has built-in lens stabilization.

These real-world examples are all straight out of the camera without any cropping. All were taken from the same spot. And they were all shot on a Canon R5. In each pair, the first is zoomed out at 24mm and the second zoomed in fully to 105mm.

News & Deals

With the holidays fast approaching, there’s some great deals on photography gear and services available. I’ve put together a roundup of Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2020 Photography Deals. It’s a running list as new deals are announced, so be sure to check back.

Canon announces new EOS Rebel T8i DSLR. Canon has announced their new T8i DSLR. 24MP APS-C cropped CMOS sensor, 4K24 video, and updated image processing and detection systems. It’s available for preorder from B&H Photo.

New Firmware for the Ricoh GR III. Ricoh has release firmware v1.31 for the GR III. Release notes are: “Corrected — When shooting with the multiple exposure, in rare cases the live view may not display correctly. Improved stability for general performance.” You can download it here.

New Canon 1D X Mark III Pro DSLR Announced. Canon has announced their new flagship model of pro DSLR, the 1D X Mark III. They’re sticking with a 20.1MP CMOS sensor, but it’s a new and improved version and boasts an incredible native ISO range of ISO 100 to ISO 102400 and an extended range that goes up to a jaw-dropping ISO 819200. With revamped autofocus, a new image processor, and all sorts of other bells and whistles, it’s no wonder that Canon is billing it as “The Ultimate EOS.”

New Manfrotto Pro Rugged Memory Cards. Manfrotto, an Italian probably best known for their tripods and studio accessories, has launched a new Pro Rugged range of high-end SD, microSD, and CompactFlash cards. While they don’t have a huge selection of sizes and speeds, the cards are aiming for very fast cards that can put up with rugged demands. For instance, they claim that their V90 rated SD cards can withstand three times the force (20kg / 45 lbs) of a regular SD card. I’ve ordered some to run through my speed tests.

New Sony Alpha a7 firmware released. A firmware update for the Sony a7R IV now lets you control external Sony flashes from the camera’s own menu system. Up to 15 flashes in five groups can be controlled via the camera. It also applies to the a7R III and a7 III.
