Canon Stealth Adds RF24-105mm F4 L IS USM Firmware 2.0.7

Weirdly enough. I don’t use the control ring at all. Not sure if it is because I had a lot of EF lenses to begin with or that the 3 wheels on the R5 already do what I need or that I can't access the ring underwater.

I imagine shooting underwater is a whole different thing, including the setup. I've never experienced it so far, but it sure would be a fun thing to try it one time.

The 70-200 4L is an exception to that. Great performance throughout the range.

The 70-200mm F4 is a stunning lens! Sharp throughout the range, the nicest bokeh of any F4 zooms (probably due to the focal length), great handling and a near perfect balance of size and weight. Plus, imho the control ring is "in the right place" at the end of the lens. I don´t like where the control ring is placed with 70-200mm F2.8 (collapsible) lens. It makes reaching for it kind of awkward imo.

Especially between 70-105mm it performs better than the 24-105mm although I have the feeling the 70-200mm excels at the long end. I agree that the 24-105mm is fairly strong at the wide end.

Indeed, this zoom has quickly become my second most used lens, after the 15-35 f/2,8.
By the way, my 24-105 f/2,8 had mushy corners at 24mm, and was a bit on the soft side at 105mm. Q.C. had seemingly failed...

Hehe, I have a familiar case: my two most used lenses are the RF 14-35mm F4 L and the 70-200mm F4. It is also a neat way to avoid the 24-105mm Currently, I´m taking a lot of family pics so I use the 50mm F1.4 and 85mm F2 a lot.

Personally, I use the control ring for ISO.

I rarely have to change aperture, so having access to ISO with my left hand means I can change it without releasing the back focus button. That way, I can simultaneously perform autofocus and adjust exposure without changing shutter speed.

Shutter speed with my right index finger, autofocus with my right thumb, aperture is mostly a constant, ISO with left thumb or index finger.

The only lens I miss is a 50mm macro, but I don't believe it will ever come from Canon. The Zeiss I currently use disappoints at infinity, and the RF 50mm 1,4 or 1,2 don't focus close enough. The gap between 35mm and 70mm is a bit too wide...
