I wouldn't say the 24-105 is great either. I don't really like the wide end much. 35mm and onwards it gets better. But quality for me is similar to 17-55, obviously you get more light and a wider angle with the 17 so it's not really that comparable. I'd more compare the 17-55 with the 16-35is, which although slower is a much nicer looking image imo (but also doesn't zoom as far). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Yeah I had the 17-55mm last fall and I liked it but it is a big and heavy lens. I don't remember how good the IS is but I'm kinda spoiled by the 24-70mm f/4 which has great IS. I think they solely used the 17-55mm on that Narcos show? Or so I've read.

Yeah IS is ok on it but not great. IS on 16-35 f4 is really good (all new IS lenses are pretty much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt3rs Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I have the 24-105 and I'm not a fan of it, I wish Canon would do a 24-70 2.8 with IS... there are rumors but only rumors. I have the 16-35 2.8 II but I tested a friends 16-35 F4 IS and it is a really good lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's the rendering? Any samples? My issue with this lens is that like many stills zooms, it starts pinching at about 24mm - for me a big part of the cinematic look is mild to wild barrel distortion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
