The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Patona Premium LP-E6 Pros: Identical (at least) to the original. Cons: Absolutely none. Opinion: I took this Patona as my second battery three years ago, in conjunction with the purchase of the 6D MarkII. I wanted to take the second original too, but my trusted dealer, instead, advised me WITH COURTEOUS INSISTENCE to take this one, stating that it was identical but paying a third party. I let myself be convinced and, I repeat after three years of use alternating with the original, I can say, in all honesty, that it is IDENTICAL IF NOT EVEN SUPERIOR to the original, both in duration and in charging times (in the original Canon battery charger), to the point that to realize which of the two is I have to look at the color below. I haven't bought another one yet just because I don't need it (we all know the longevity of the batteries on 6D MarkII), but if I felt the need I would buy a Patona again without the slightest shadow of a doubt. N:B.: My Patona (unlike the one shown here) reports 2040mAh and 14.7Wh, against 1865 mAh - 14Wh of the original. sent on December 02, 2022 |
 | Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM II Pros: Versatility, latest generation IS, fast, precise and silent MAF, Construction/robustness/tropicalization. Cons: None, considering that weight/cost/bulk are justified. Maybe the cost is slightly excessive, maybe it could cost 10-15% less. Opinion: I wanted Canon's best all-rounder zoom, and I'm increasingly convinced that this is. Until the last I racked my meninges between this and the 24-70 f/4 IS USM, in the end I chose this simply because the 24-70 stops at 70mm, and I would have found myself with a "hole" between 70 and 100mm, considering that I have the 100-400 "L" in my sights, and also that pseudo-macro function of the 24-70 does not interest me. In the meantime I cover the medium-telephoto/tele focal lengths with the fabulous white 70-200mm f/4 "L", which is clearly higher than this from 70mm onwards, but I do not always have the time necessary for the canonical procedure "turn off-machine/remove-optics/put-optics/turn on-machine" (and then vice versa), either for the material time, or for the weather weather (wind / sand / beginning of drizzle and the like), you want because there are those cases for which going out with only one lens is convenient and preferable. I specify that I deliberately waited for this couple of months abundant shots, before launching into this review, which I now consider unequivocally more reliable. I emphasize that I mount this optics on 6D MarkII, that for the haste to take it the kit (ca. 3 years ago) with the counterpart 24-105 f / 3.5-5.6 STM because my shopkeeper did not have available the similar series "L". The differences I found?... the STM to be honest is not bad, indeed (at that price and weight then), I must admit that I was surprised in positive the fast AF and the latest generation IS, but the thing that bothered me was the variation of the maximum aperture of the aperture as the focal length changed: the STM at 50mm already goes to f / 5, at 70mm it already goes to f / 5.6, and this, especially indoors and / or with little light (as you also know well) is not ideal, while I love to work in priority of aperture and definitely prefer a diaphragm with constant maximum aperture. With hindsight I can say that this (in comparison to the STM) is much more solid, tropicalized, the AF is slightly faster, the sharpness is higher, not so much in the center of the frame (the other is also excellent) as in the mid-frame and especially in the periphery of the frame, and also I notice more vividness and fidelity in the colors. I call it a N.Q.B. (Sharp Enough), because it is clear that if at 35mm I want the "maximo" of sharpness I mount the 35mm f/ 2 IS USM (as in general the fixed ones are always sharper than the zooms at a specific focal length), or after the 70mm I mount the "white", if such changes I consider necessary and I have the time, otherwise, this is a great optics at almost all focal lengths. WEIGHS?... I don't think it weighs too much: we are talking about a tropicalized 4x with a latest generation IS, and all the "L" series, as such, weigh (the 24-70 f/ 4 IS "L", for example, which stops at 70mm, weighs only 195gr. less, and is shorter, with two groups of lenses less and one lamella of diaphragm less). COAST?... all "L" series cost, and for obvious reasons. In short, last but not least, my vote is a full 9.3. Objectively speaking. sent on June 29, 2022 |
