Canon RF 24-105 f4

Does anyone know what is happening with the supply of the above lens in Europe? Sold a bit of kit a while ago to purchase this lens to go with my RP but it's been temporarily out of stock in Belgium since over a year now? and it doesn't seem more readily available in the Netherlands which is my other option!!

I don't know if the UK still counts as Europe (I'm Scottish, most of us voted to remain), but two of the larger retailers here recently got that lens back in stock after months of not having any.

Waited a couple of months in Poland and was able to get it just now, finally

Waiting as well, in the Netherlands it is out of stock for over a year.  I'm considering the other RF 24-105 and sell it when the f/4 version is available. Or keep using the old EF 24-105 f/4 mk-I.

Does your barrel wobble a bit?

As you did not ask others, I apologize for responding. Mine does not wobble.

When I got an R5 a couple of months ago, the 24-105 f/4L was widely out of stock in the US.

However, it was available as a kit lens with the R5.

Buy a kit and sell the R5 body?

Buy the 24-105 STM used. At least in Brazil it sells for almost nothing. Like just over U$200, which is 6 times less than the F4 version.

Same happening in Australia, like impossible to find this lens unless you pay extra to get it from eBay

Re: Canon RF 24-105 f4

thanks - yeah was thinking about that as well - saw a R6 for sale with & 24-105L on Deuxieme main but the seller was obviously aware of the supply issue and was asking almost full retail price - not stupid hey!!

Re: Canon RF 24-105 f4

Yeah I saw it was available from a couple of Uk suppliers but I'm always nervous to order expensive lenses and have them sent in the post!!!

I guess I'll do the same - still got my 24-70 f4L so I'll continue using that until the lens is available again!!!

Re: Canon RF 24-105 f4

thanks for your replies... guess there are a few reasons one of which is the global semiconductor chip shortage... strange how the cheaper lenses are available though and not the expensive ones - was also thinking of (really) treating myself to the RF 50mm f1.2 but as with the 24-105 it's been out of stock for over a year!! patience and all that hey

Re: Canon RF 24-105 f4

I waited five months in line to get my copy of the RF 24-105/4 here in Sweden. Only one lens shipped in to the country about a month ago and it was mine. I consider myself lucky to get that one.

If I crank mine out to 105mm and wiggle it with my hand it will move a little bit. However, it will not wobble on it's own by walking around with the camera. How much wobble are you talking about?

My lens works great.   I use it for video a lot with the constant f4 while zooming and programmable control ring.    I use it for stills too.   I am a mostly stills hybrid shooter.

Any wobble I might have does not harm anything AFIK.
