Is a 24 105mm a good travel lens?
Yes, it's a very good travel lens. A 24-105mm covers wide landscapes and street scenes through to a short telephoto for portraits and details, so you can often leave it on the camera for the whole trip. The Travel guide makes the same point: one versatile zoom covers nearly every travel picture.
It's a full-frame lens, so it's bigger than an APS-C zoom. Weigh it with your camera body and check it against your bag before you buy, as the what matters list suggests. These are the options in the catalogue:
- Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM for Canon RF mirrorless bodies.
- Sony FE 24-105mm f/4 G OSS for Sony full-frame mirrorless bodies.
- Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM for Canon EF bodies.
Choose by mount first, since none of these fit the others' cameras.
