I just packed the 16-35 and 24-105 into a backpack for a 3-day Rim-to-Rim. My telephoto is "Cursing that the 105 doesn't zoom longer", but nothing is worth the packing space. The Tamron 70-180 ...

Update: I head down tomorrow after 5 days of vacation. I brought the 24-105,16-35GM, and 55/1.8.  So far, I've been using the 24-105 exclusively during the day, the 16-35 on tripods at night, and ...

Zoom lenses are perfectly fine. Even with IBIS, handheld is at best 1/frame_rate though.

This is the logic that has me taking the 24-105 everywhere.  Or the 16-35 + 85 for street shooting. Get up a goat path and twist a knob.  Don't care about dust.  Don't care about how to carry 2/3/8 ...

For landscape, especially hiking where I'm not terribly interested in either changing (Trail Dust!) or carrying lots of lenses and/or a telephoto, I find it excellent. I'm taking it and possibly ...

I don't have portraits on this computer, but I might have a few "stopped up a bit at 105mm focusing on something close with a blurred background" shots. It's not a dedicated portrait lens by any ...

So once for the lulz, I tried taking pictures of moving trains over the fence on the approach into the Zurich train station. GOOD: 43 MP.   When it works, it works. Bad: Especially if you're ...

FWIW, the 24/1.4 is constantly back-ordered, so depending on when the "soon" from your OP is, you might not have the choice.

I see a touch of the slipping, but still prefer the comfort of the straps to Optech.

I always distinguish between "Travel" and "Carry".  So I might travel with 4 lenses and carry 0,1, or 2 of them on any given afternoon depending on what I'm doing. For Travel, yeah, sure if you've ...

If you've got the space for the gear, you've got the space to haul the gear. Personally, I'd bring the 16-35 GM + the 24-105 and eat the f-stop/telephoto issues in exchange for only having 2 lenses ...

2 basic choices are Peak Design or BlackRapid. I personally prefer Peak Design.  2 points of attachment, and then you can use the screw at the bottom for a Peak Design plate, which attaches to a ...

Nice pictures! Protip: In my experience: 1) Everyone complains about the corners at 24 f/4 and 105 f/4. 2) Everyone complains about different things.  I get vignetting at 24mm and softness at 105mm ...

Yes, that was my point that the 16-35/4 was close enough they were both "About the same size" as the 24-105. From different sides obviously, but it's much larger than I envisioned it.

Dust is an issue.  Dust is an issue on all mirrorless cameras because of the exposed sensor, that's just how it is sometimes. I stick Lenspens in all my lens bags and pouches and do a quick sky ...

I'm honestly surprised because I think of the 16-35 GM as being "just a little bit larger than the 24-105", and you're saying the 24-105 is a little bit larger than the 16-35 /4 .

My honest question, and the thing that's keeping me from buying a 135mm prime myself now that I'm looking for telephotos, is: Does that Frustum work (for your targeted sport)? The point of a 70-200 ...

My path: 24-105/4 - Isn't quite wide or fast enough for night/indoors.  Perfect landscape lens, probably as large as I'm willing to carry up a goat path or around a city. Samyang 35/2.8 - $269 on ...

The paradox of the 24-105 is that it's the best all-around lens on the system and comes on every single vacation with me, and spends more time on my camera than every other lens I own combined. And ...

The paradox is that with 1 24-105 lens, you replace about 4 much smaller primes, and the giant shoulder bag full of 3 extra primes.  That you may or may not be able to get into the art ...
