Jason I fully agree, the lens blew me away with my R8 kit and have shot a few real estate photos with this lens with great success.

Awesome review, thanks!

Thank you for this great video !!

Thank you I was looking for the comparison between 24-50 and 24-105 :)helps a lot:)

That's what I was looking for ! Thanks! think I'll go for the 24/105 and take a 35mm 1,8 for small factor /quality

Fantastic review Jason.

thanks, great video!

Gad you mentioned the 24-105. I was thinking it may be a better kit lens mainly for the 4.0 at 24mm. I'll have to check out the weight and size.

Thanks i like to have one camera from every brand and the R8 come to my list, i'm thinking about the 50 or this zoom... or the other long zoom. Thanks for your views on this.

Get the 35mm

Jason, thanks for this. Hey, question - when I first got this lens, it was in a "locked down"? position at the white dot just down from the 24mm mark. Can the lens be returned to this point for travel?? At first I got an error message stating I need to "set the lens to shooting position". It felt a little forced to move the zoom, but then, for whatever reason, it released and now moves from 24-50 without an issue, but was curious if there is a way to set it back to that more compact position.

I was about to buy just the R8 body (my first FF) and a prime lens, and then I saw it was only 20$ more expensive to get the body + kit lens (probably an error on the website I think), so yeah that was a no brainer ;) The lens will help me to decide what prime I want now (35mm or 50mm).

It wasn‘t a bug, kits are usually $200 cheaper due to you buying a whole kit. Considering they are harder to sell of to people that only need the body, they often get discounted and so the crazy part is I got the body with the lens for the same price as body only lol

These are actually comparable to the 18-55 apsc kit lenses. You can use these too up from 24 mm to 55 and they have less distortion. You probably will have some lying around. I use the 18-55 on my Nikon D 700 in full frame mode and I think it is a better lens than the 24 -50 from Nikon. You cannot go below 24 mm otherwise you will see vignetting.

I'm planning on getting this R8 with the 24-105 mm for events photography and video, I am also planning to get a 50mm for close up and clean bucket photos, am I on the right path?

@Jason_Hermann

Well I'm not sure what you mean by close-up exactly and clean bucket photos? The 50mm is not a macro lens, but you can get about 12 inches away which is pretty close and yeah the 24-105mm is a great lens for everything really... The 50mm f/1.8 will get those really blurry backgrounds and subject separation if you want that!

You cannot make lenses that have to be corrected for DSLRs as there is no way to correct the viewfinder.

The image can still be corrected on the camera though after the fact in theory, and this lens is not made for a DSLR. It's an RF lens made for the new mirrorless cameras which do not have optical viewfinders. They are basically little TV's in there showing you what the sensor is seeing on a mirrorless camera.

This lens is like as scream: "Get away from Canon if you don't have money on good, professional and expensive lenses!" . Light of this lens is a dark joke, below the line of decency. This lens should have light about f/3.5 to f/4.5 to be OK as a kit lens on this focal lenghts.

Distortion is horrific, but I've seen similar on many Sony lenses over the years. The manufactures are choosing to make the lenses smaller and lighter and correcting lens flaws in camera. This makes the lenses cheaper, lighter weight, and smaller, but yeah they are not nearly as good optically. However, after the corrections are made the results are pretty darn good which is honestly remarkable. So it is what it is... The 24-105mm looks to be significantly better built, but I have no used it myself yet. Is the distortion as bad as this lens when shooting raw quality?
