im honestly so sick of my 50mm prime. keep missing shots at these weddings because im constantly swapping lenses and its driving me crazy. got a huge gig in nyc next weekend and i just need one lens that does it all for under $2k. what is the best all-around lens for a canon eos r6 mark ii?
@Reply #1 - good point! Satisfied with that too.
- Nano USM is instant.
- 5-stop IS helps handheld.
- Constant f/4 keeps lighting consistent. Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM basically rules...
> just need one lens that does it all for under $2k Late to this but over the years ive learned to prioritize value. In my experience, check the Canon USA Refurbished site first. You can grab the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM there for way less than retail. If you need f/2.8 speed tho, hunt for a used Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM on MPB. It basically fits your budget and covers everything you need.
Exactly what I was thinking
I've been using the Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM for my shoots lately and honestly im very satisfied with how it works. It's a safe choice because that zoom range covers everything from wide group shots to portraits without needing a lens swap. I havent had any complaints about the image quality or the build. It's usually listed around $1,299 which is well under your budget limit. If you feel like you really need the extra stop of light for dark venues then the Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM is the standard choice tho it usually runs over $2,000 brand new. I stuck with the 24-105 because the reliability and extra reach matter more to me when things get busy. Its been super solid so far...
