To jhm: Canon 24 -105mm f/4L IS USM.....

[tyro]

Hello John,

Thank you for your kind words about this photograph!

I have to confess that I recently bought the Canon 5D Mark IV and on that I use my 24 - 70mm f/2.8L USM lens. But I decided also to keep my 5D Mark II for my wife and bought a second-hand 24 - 105mm f/4L IS USM lens and I also use that camera and lens for shots like this. I agree that it's not quite as sharp as the 24 - 70mm lens but it does have the advantage of a longer zoom range and IS though the maximum aperture is smaller. However, although the 24 - 105mm might not be quite so sharp, it does seem to give good results - and it's also a lot lighter and has stabilisation too.

Interesting and sad that you thought your lens was not perfect and had calibration problems.

Kind Regards,

John.
