That is a good lens, except for the small detail that he has a Canon camera not Nikon.

I'm happy with the 18-135. Try the microadjustment. I think you'll be surprised.

Since when do facts matter here?

And exactly how is that going to work on his Canon body? Oops, just realized that mwsilvers had already pointed that out 🤬

Apparently, reading comprehension is a difficult concept for some Nikon users!

I have the Canon 24-105 f4L on my 80D and find myself wanting something wider. With the crop factor the 24mm end has an effective field of view of 36mm on a full frame.

I'd get that 18-135 checked out. Mine produces sharp photos - in fact, I very rarely take it off the camera.

Agreed! I received mine with my 80D and it is tack sharp.

I’ve had the Canon 24-105L F4 II for my 80D for a year now ... and have been extremely satisfied with its image quality.

Agreed. On this site people usually avoid the confusion caused by actual facts when expressing their opinions.

Jos, welcome to the Hog. Only you know your shooting style but when I was heavily counseled to get the 24-105 I got it.
In about a week I knew it wasn’t wide enough for my general purpose shooting(walk-around).
So I replaced it with the 15-85 and was quite happy with it. You might check it out!
I didn’t use the 24-105 again until I went full frame, now it’s my most used lens.
I use Canon lenses on my Canon camera, for a reason!!! Good luck

Shooter, I have a 5D Mark 4 with a 24-70mm 1:4L IS USM that I find OK on the wide side but a tad short when shooting adult grandchildren and etc. I also have the 80-300mm that I found a tad short on the long side. With respect to the 24-70 what would you recommend as the best lens, money being no object? Also, do you think getting an extender would be the way to go with respect to the long lens? Thanks in advance for your reply. Bob

Hey Bob, SS may be a bit delayed in his response. With a 5DIV and not money limit, the 24-70 f/2.8L II is the best choice. It's as sharp as Canon's primes at the same focal lengths and apertures. Your high MP sensor provides options for cropping that may offset the missing focal length offered by the 24-105 II. The 24-70 II offers maximum image quality in all situations, and particularly in low light if you're shooting f/2.8 to f/4. The 24-70 f/4L IS and the 24-105 f/4L IS II are both excellent performers, enhanced by IS.
You asked about an extender, but I'm unsure of the purpose of this question. The Canon 1.4x and 2x extenders cannot be physically attached to any of the 24-xx zooms nor any EF-S lens being discussed.

Thanks very much for the information Canon. I wanted to see if there was another excellent lens with a bit more reach than 70mm. I miss it when shooting my grandchildren. I thought the extenders were made to increase the reach of my 70-300 zoom. Bob

But the Kenko extenders can, just get the GDX models. Having said that, be aware that an EF-S lens attached to a full frame through the GDX Kenko, will always give you some "unwanted" vignette, specially at the widest angles.
