Thanks to those of you correcting me on the image stabilization in the 24-70 f/2.8. The f/2.8 versions from Nikon, Tamron and Sigma Art do have IS. The two Canon 24-70 f/2.8 doesn't - however, the f/4 version does. My bad ;)
In this day of mirrorless cameras handling higher ISO so well I don't need a 24-70 2.8 anymore! I now use a Sony 24-105 f4 for nearly all my travel shots and it's awesome. Anyone saying otherwise is full of it
There's also the new Canon RF 24-70 f2.8 that will have IS.
The Sony 24-70 f2.8 does not have image stabilization, but such an expensive lens would be used on one of the Sony bodies that has IBIS stabilization, so not really an issue. However, the Sony 24-105 is my workhorse lens. Thanks for the video.
@@alistairbeavis1536 but who shoots canon RF? Their bodies are still far behind, and new lenses are extremely expensive

While most youtubers are trying very hard to convince people, your photos tell everthing
The images at the end are sensational. I shall carry them in my head when I am out shooting. I can never match them but I can aspire to try. 💗
I started photography within the last year and a happy accident was getting the 24-105 as my first lens. I love it.
Thanks for the amazing video and useful info brother! I was thinking to change my lenses in same order but I wasn't sure if it would work as I expect and you confirmed it 💯

You are just amazing. These ideas are great. Your voice pitch match with Sean Tucker. I am glad you have made so many videos to learn from. Thanks a lot for all your videos. You just gained a fan.
Thanks for this highly informative video Mads! After watching many CZcams videos, I was unsure which zoom to go for and left me mistakenly thinking that an f2.8 lens would be 'better', but your video cleared this up and helped me understand that based on my needs, a 24-105 f4 lens would be perfect (for taking landscape shots) as I can also edit these in Lightroom afterwards. I have just ordered this lens, so thanks again :)
Thanks Peter. You have created an excellent presentation... and reminded me why I should pick up my 24-105 again. We sometimes get caught up with one particular style of landscape shooting and neglect other, possibly better alternatives.
I have ordered this lens and hope to also get such great shots in the future. You have developed a great instinct for composition and are able to explain it well. Thanks! I do not have the time for getting out and travel to do such Photography but your work sure inspires me to want to! Your love of photography and nature seems to make you a good peaceful down-to-earth person.
Absolutely agree. The 24-105 is always on the camera when hiking to a location or touring a city. Love the versatility without changing lenses and the loss of one stop of the 24-70 f/2.8 has never meant a great deal to me. Especially Panos! So literally all of your reasons here really resonate with my photography and approach.
Funny enough, you dropped this video while I was in the Faroe's, but from the title alone I knew it would be good one! As as you can imagine, the 24-105 was right there with me the whole trip!
Thank you for such an excellent and detailed video! I really want to buy the Sony FE 24-105mm F/4 G OSS as my first lens to get the amazing versatility the lens offers, but I felt worried that F/4 wouldn’t let in enough light compared to F/2.8. After seeing your AMAZING photos, I’m convinced that F/4 will be just fine! Your landscape photos are truly inspiring man! Absolutely beautiful!
dude you are wildly talented
This is your first video that I have watched, I like the pace. Very calming :). I've got a 24-70mm Canon with no IS but I don't miss it. Lovely lens. Its the closest I have to a 'kit lens' so I don't miss the extra focal length either but I have heard people say they miss that 35mm more zoom on the 105mm lens.
The stream in the foreground with the sunlit mountains and houses is one of the best shots of yours I've seen, simply stunning!
Thank you very much! :)
I shot only with prime lenses for the last decade, then “discovered” the creative power of good zoom lenses when I brought a Lumix LX100 with its 24-70 equivalent to the Yucatán. It has been a game-changer for me, and your 5 reasons sums up why perfectly. I have since added a 24-120mm equivalent for my “big” bodies. And a 16-36. And a 70-200. Sigh... But the 24-120 is truly is my “go-to” lens.
Well this was just a joy to watch! Your voice is very soothing and makes listening/understanding very pleasant.
I think I agree with you on this. Out of my lens range my canon 24-105 is by far my best lens optically and has an almost perfect range. Thing is I use a cropped sensor canon 80d so I loose some of the wildness I like but fixing that with a pano a great option. Thanks for the informative video Mads!
Great points. I would also add that with today’s DSLR/mirrorless cameras it is easy to adjust ISO to compensate for exposure at f/4 versus f/2.8. But having that extra 35 mm of focal length can’t be added so easily. I like the perspective in the 85-105 mm range for portraits which makes the face look very natural and proportional.
Mads, Many thanks for your inspirational videos. Whenever I hear the musical lead in to your Iceland videos, I feel inspired. My wife and I just got back from a 13 day self guided photography trip in Iceland that was in no small measure a result of the idealism present in your work and in you. Thank you again Mads Peter Iversen. Joleen and I will always be grateful.
Phil Zivnuska
Thank you so much for such kind words, Philip! Very happy you enjoyed your trip in Iceland :)
man this is the first video I ever watched of you, and I am never impressed so easily but you are very impressive not only because of the photos you took but also because of your deep knowledge and simple explanation.
The 24-105 lens is an amazing lens. When I switched fromCanon to Sony, I made sure that it was part of my new kit. I am looking to add the 100-400 to my kit. When I was shooting Canon I had a 70-200 and I found myself wishing for a little more reach while I was in Zion NP
The Canon RF 24-105 is a great street photography lens for Portland and the Pacific Northwest. It’s amazing how often 28mm isn’t quite wide enough and 85mm isn’t long enough. With 24-105, rarely do I find myself wanting a different lens.
I also have that lens, and is like you said, always on the camera until proven otherwise.
Thank you for your time in producing this video. This is most helpful and very well done. I appreciate your time...in creating this.
Love my Sony 24-105 as well. And as you can attest Mads, it holds up great, even when rolling out of ones bag, down the rocky slopes of Fossa, into the water at Nigel's feet! 6 months now and still working great!
Recently went through the thought processes about 24-70 or the 24-105 to fill my gap as I already had a 16-35 and 70-200, I chose the 24-105 and just love its versatility, maybe an astro specific lens next year, if I am doing a wild camp and looking to reduce weight then the 24-105 will give me great focal range coverage, I am loving the results up to now :-)
Awesome as always Mads, i have the same 24-105 f4 and a7riii. You tips and approach to photography are an inspiration!!
I think this episode with the array of pictures clearly demonstrates that its how you use the lens to maximum effect to get the desired results and you clearly demonstrated Mads, the capabilities of the 24-105mm. Always a pleasure seeing your previous images when you combine them into an episode of this sort
Thanks a lot, Jim! Much appreciated as always :)
Wow . . . EXCELLENT presentation! I just purchased a Sony a7iii moving up from an a6500. I do have 1 full frame lens, the Sony 70-200 f4. So far I am very happy, but I am strongly considering this lens, as an all-around lens. Thank you so much for a well presented informative video. Masterful work by the way ! Thank you very much.
Very helpful discussion that has helped me decide on the 24 - 105. Your photos are spectacular, and loved your excellent results combining several vertical shots to make panoramas.
I totally agree. Back in the days with my Nikon I used the 24-120mm. Now with my Sony the 24-105mm. Perfect zoom range
You convinced me!! Im definitely buying this lens! Thank you!
Just got my first 24-105 lens today. Can't wait to get started. Thanks for your video.
great video, I purchased the Sony 24-105 a month ago and love it. Your photos are amazing, keep up the good work
I've had one for a few years... it is my walk around lens. Your shots are just fantastic Mads!
Man, you're images are out of this world! I'm happy to suscribe to your channel to learn more tips and see more amazing images!
Excellent Mads. I bought the RF24-105 a couple of months ago. It is my "go to" lens, as I almost never swap to another lens. Thanks again!
Your photos are fantastic....seeing your results have pretty much put this lens at the top of my list...although I’m still considering the Zeiss 24-70 as an option. Well done on your excellent photography and thanks for this review!
Glad I found this video. So well done! Thank you!
Looks like I chose wisely! I've got this lens and an A7 III on the way. Thanks for the great video.
Outstanding work, breathtaking. We use the Sony 24-105mm f/4 for our wedding and portrait photography and its just amazing. We couldn’t be happier! Cheers.
Stayed for the photographs. They are INCREDIBLE. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
Learned quite a bit; great explanation and reasons; thank you very much !!
Nice review of the 24-105. I have enjoyed your quality information for the landscape photographer. As a newer owner of Canon's EOS R, I decided to purchase the RF 24-105. I was so amazed at the quality and versatility - even compared to my trusted EF 24-70 2.8. I am new to your content but will continue to watch.
Thanks for the great video, Mads. I took delivery of my new Canon 24-105 lens yesterday and cannot wait to get it out into the field to try. I need to log a lot of hours before heading to Tuscany this spring. Love your very educational videos!
Very informative video! I love the demonstration of focal lengths at 3:40. It changes the background of an image dramatically and that is something ive never considered.
Excellent video and beautiful images Mads!
Thank you very much, Hunter! :)
More excellent info. Mads! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Amazing photos. I was considering dumping my 24-105 for the 24-70 GM, but now I may reconsider. Thanks for posting.
Keep this 24-105, and add one or two prime lens(es) of your choice to the kit.
While everyone must decide what gear works best for them, I agree that the 24-105 is a workhorse. It was my go-to lens for walking around and traveling with one lens for 20 year when I shot Canon (24-105 f/4 L). When I moved to Sony last year, the 24-105 was the first lens I bought. Yes, I use plenty of other lenses when I know what I am going to be shooting and can plan the look I want, or have a pack full of kit to haul around, but I can walk out the door with the 24-105 confident that I will be able to capture a well framed, well exposed shot in almost any situation I am likely to encounter. Of course, if I was going out to shoot sports, this would not be the lens I would take. I have always owned 24-70 f2.8 as well, but I rarely use it. Like you, I find that I miss the extra reach when I am using the 24-70 far more often than I miss the extra stop when using the 24-105. These choices work for me. Your mileage may vary.
I have just sold my Sony 24mm-70mm GM and purchased Sony 24mm-105mm as I was always wanting a lens with more versatility. Watched your video which was very informative with some good explications in relation to focal lengths, together with some great images. I will certainly be following your channel. Many Thanks!
Wow!! Absolutely stunning landscapes.😍
You have cleared many confusions.... one of them and most important (for me) is focal range... Good job and superb photography...
Thanks a lot, Mahesh! Kind of you :)
I really tried to focus on the review but ended up just admiring the amazing shots you have taken..... guess I'll have to rewatch it from the start.Keep up the amazing work.
This was the first lens I purchased after selling my kit lens. It’s a great lens. I’ve recently purchased the Tamron 17-28 for the occasions that I want the wider end.
Great video,helped me make my mind up to go for the 24-105,very helpful and love the amazing images👍🏻
Thanks. great video and lovely to see such beautiful photos of where my family is from.
I have been using this lens for over a year now and it is my main lens now on location portrait and fashion shoots in addition to action photography due to its flexibility to change angle of view in the flow without having to shop the momentum of shoot to get a close up and and wide in the same pose. Sadly my expensive 85mm prime sits in my bag most of the time.
Mads, thanks so much for your very informative contents.
God review of the pro’s and rational for the 24-105mm. I agree it can be a great all rounder, thanks for sharing 👏🏻
This helps greatly! I’ve been in the fence, which of these two lenses to purchase. Thanks. Great job with explaining how you use the 24-105 compositionally!
Love videos like this Mads! Great job :)
Great video. I own the Sony 24-105 coupled with the a7 r iii. Agree with you that the lens is very versatile. I have used it fir landscape, action (capturing surfers), seascapes, city, and even a few portraits of granddaughter. I knew the lens would be superb quality based on reviews, but am amazed on how flexible it is.
I have a 24mm, 35-70mm and a 80-200mm always in my bag for when I am doing lightweight landscape photography.
Otherwise it is the medium format beast with the 50mm and 100-200mm!
Very interesting - thank you very much. Outstanding pictures!!!
An excellent video, thank you for the help and info, love the photos. Cheers.
What an excellent video.....and what beautiful pictures. You have convinced me to purchase a 24-105 mm zoom lens.
Great video and i totally agree with you! 95%+ of my photos are shot with the 24-105mm lens!
Great Work Mads👍. I also own this Sony 24-105 lens and I really love it.
Great information. Thank you for sharing!
It's my favorite lens and for the price I think it gives the most bang for the bucks. Thanks for the video.
Excellent! Thanks for the insight into the effects of different focal lengths! Although I have read some related information, the comparisons in your video really makes the information come alive and be more meaningful.
Thanks a lot, Wayne. Yes, it's so much easier to show than describe :)
Great to see the different focal lengths in this video!! Thank you! You just helped me make up my mind, let the research begin for a 24-105 :)
TY THE SIGMA ART VERSION
Thanks for this video. This would help me in the future when I upgrade to a Sony full frame from an APS-C.
Awesome Video with even more stunning photos!
Panoramic View of Mountain was epic and you taught us how to get perfect shots with single lens. In, your couple of videos I have learned a lot.
Thank you for detailed explanation. Many technical moments are clear for me now.
Thank you. This helped me choose my next lens.
Totally agree with you, I do real estate, architecture, landscapes and wildlife. 12-24/25-105 and 100-400 is top choice. I have also few primes 35/55/85/90 macro for portrait with amazing bokeh
I meant 24-105 not 25-105 ...
I own a 18mm 2.8 Zeiss Batis, 35 2.8 Rokinon and a 70-200 F4 G, Before that I had the 24-105 but realized I always went tele or wide. I may pick up a 24-70 someday but I love my kit right now :)
Great review and fantastic pictures. Definitely getting this lens.
Thank you for your advise I was on the fence to buying the 24-105 mm and now I see what you mean been an all around lens .
I would highly and strongly recommend the full version of the composition e-book. Lots of good information and well worth the price. BTW, enjoyed the video, I like the 24-105 f-4, it’s an all around great lens.
First time I’ve come across one of your videos fella, and brilliant 👏🏻👍love your work and wonderful photos, cheers from Australia 😊👍
Very informative, definitely worth the time spent watching it. Some of those pictures you have taken are out of this world. 👍👌
Yep, my 24-105 Canon f/4 L is my first choice for walking around.
Excellent work, sir. Great shots.
Thank you. Your sticthing multiple photos shooting at normal or slightly telephoto, corrects parrelel corrections.
Thank you for sharing your opinions, I really enjoyed the recommendations on creating panoramic photos
Beautiful pictures! Thank you.
Thank you for the video. Made my purchase for the 24-105 after watching this. ☺
Yeah, I agree. Love my 24-105G. That an a wide prime for astro is my travel kit.
Went back to watch this oldie but goodie! Thanks
Great as always Mads. I have a Nikon 24-120mm f4 and it is also the most commonly used lens in my bag.
This will be my first lens when I go to Sony selling all my canon gear now for a A7r 3 and a 24-105, 100-400 then one day a 16-35 2.8
This is the lens that is coupled with my A7iii 95+ percent of the time for the past three years. Being an avid advanced amateur photographer with main interest in landscape photography, I found that the IQ and versatility of this lens is unsurpassed. Thanks for sharing!
Nice video and tremendous images as always. I had the Sony a mount 24-70/2.8 which was an excellent lens even with the adapter to the full frame Sony a7r3. I have since traded it for the 24-105 and I agree it is a must have. The one stop difference wide open is of no consequence to what I do. It is a great mate to the Sony G master 100-400. I had the 70-200/4 and it was a terrific lens and traded it for the 100-400. Wow, this lens is tack sharp at all apertures and focal lengths. Not too much heavier. I use it it lot for wildflower close-ups at 400mm. The lens has such good close focusing ability that I have not needed extension tubes to get frame filling wildflower close-ups. Cheers, Erik
Your photography work is truly stunning. Thank you for sharing your expertise in the video. SUBBED.
Very good information and photos.
It was informative.
fantastic info Mads. I just invested in the Nikon Z6 so I will check out the options within this focal range. Thanks for your work, it's epic!
My Nikon 24-120 stays on my D850 most of the time...but you're right about this focal range. On my film camera's I use a 28-105mm lens with a close focusing function on the lens, this is also a useful tool in my armoury...great pics by the way in your video...
