  • 7:44 Asians can,t even drive a bicycle without crashing It 

  • Lok has steady hands

  • do canon lenses work on nikon and the other way around?

  • This lens is my only regret buying a Nikon camera. No chance I am going to switch to Canon for this lens only though.

  • this guy is awesome

  • 8:14 Imagine waking up to that looking down at you...

  • 8:14 Image waking up to that looking down at you...

  • 7:14 looks like a fish eye XD

  • Canon 24-70 has sharper and better colors

  • L lens has its value hah.

  • There goes Kai dropping expensive things again. @10:47

  • The problem with this guy's review is he talks too much, trying, and less of actual review.

  • Anyone know what camera bag hes got?

  • I'm still confused witch one is better. :(

  • What is the best now (24-70)(24-105(?g

    Another question

    What is the difference between 24-70 mark 1 24-70 mark 2?>a

    Wait for your answer

    Thank you

  • 03:52 .. U sure have been here before. You reviewed the 5D mark II in the rain too. I ended up buying that cam. Oh guess what, am planning on buying the EF 24 70 also :).

  • The 24-70 f/2.8L is pretty average by modern standards. Very soft wide open, bad corner sharpness even at f/8, distortion, lots of CA at close focus distances, flaring with sunlight, ghosting with bright lights at night, average bokeh, and lots of variation in build quality. Its contrast and color is only medium.

    The new Mark II version of the lens runs rings around it in all aspects.

  • would be stupid, how do u make the lense project the image round around 8:00?

  • @R4z3MyP3n That's a fisheye lens.

  • damn the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II is out, i just buy the 24-70mm f/2.8L for $1250 last week

  • I just sold my 105 for the 70, now I totally regret it! :'(

  • @HEREONOUTBAILEY , I'm sure you have a lovely girlfriend who will buy you one as a treat for being such a good egg. ;)

  • @mulween :D :D :D :D :D :D :D xxxxxxxxx

  • @HEREONOUTBAILEY

    Any reasons for that? Because of the focal range or sharpness?

  • Mark II of this lens just announced.

  • @iamravenous -For which lens and where did you hear/see that? :D

  • @mulween The 24-70mm f/2.8L Mk2. I can't post links here but it was announced just recently. No IS though... but you really don't need IS at those focal lengths IMO.

  • @iamravenous Please inbox me the link kind sir! :D

  • @iamravenous the lens is perfect...I don't think i will pay more for IS

  • You always give the best reviews! Even in the rain!

  • Comment removed

  • Must be a very rugged lens. I've dropped 2 lenses and I'm 2 for 2 as far as needing them repaired. The Nikon 50mm f/1.4 and the Nikon 85mm f/1.8. I know those lenses are in a different class but maybe it's a brand thing?

    I enjoy this whole series of reviews. Fantastic job! Oh yeah- @ LvxMedia, IS= 'IMAGE STABILIZATION'

  • @buttershugg

    Those Nikons arent made with the same quality material as the canon L lens. Canon L lens are really well made, but you're paying huge for it though unfortunately.

  • Please digitalrev, go back to these kind of nice informative review. Lately all reviews are all filled with rubbish gimmicks and a little too much "fun stuff"

  • what does "IS" mean in lens terms???

  • @LxvMedia Image Stabilization

  • Nikon!!!!!!!!

  • Kai your nose looks horrible with that fisheye.

  • LMFAO..... 4:25

  • @BrendanPaulJames agree, same to me

  • I've never seen a 24-70 that doesn't have that dent. Everyone drops them. but like you said they all shoot after being dropped and getting their dent.

  • This is what i searched man :P

    thanks (=

  • Comment removed

  • @BrendanPaulJames yeah me too .. but he didn't pay and it's not his..so no worries for him!!

  • I am sure it would be a little sharper if they had it being recalibrated after dropping it :D

  • @BrendanPaulJames But he never uses a camera strap. It was just a matter of time.

  • mr hands man hahaha

  • what fisheye lens was lok using????

  • @piketubeman Probably an 8-15mm f/4.

  • I like the Canon 24-70 better ;)

  • Is the IS an advantage compared to the 2.8 aperture?

  • @jchoo34

    It really depends. At 2.8 you can get a more shallow depth of field and also be able to shoot in lower light situation. The IS on the other hand is kind of needed at 105. At 105 you get more camera shake because of the longer focal length. Because of that camera shake, you need the IS to reduce the camera shake which will cause blurr in your image. The 24-70 don't need it because at 70mm it doesn't get as shakey. It would help though!

  • what does lok have on top of the camera? in the hot shoe?

  • @swingAE86 it's the receiver for the wireless mic.

  • @swingAE86 It's most likely a microphone receiver. 

  • @MrCris739 you need a fisheye lens

  • how can I film like you did in 9:44 ?! like circle :-/

  • @MrCris739 hey, its a fisheye lens=D

  • More pics of Lamby please! Lol

  • now i'll shift to nikon! lol

  • hilariousss

    

  • Is it me or the camera man has a Canon DSLR with a Nikon strap?

  • lol, very ugly statue!

  • I like the Nikon more than the Canon...

    I bet nearly everyone will tell me now how stupid I am and how cool Canon is :D

  • Bull shit! I don't see any test

  • @rezilamca this isnt a test this is a comparison of the lenses

  • locke, get a shoulder mount rig or a monopod or something.

  • Hi, What kind of camera bag did you used for this review?

  • @kiengb billingham bag

  • best line ever "just look at windows pc's" Windows sucks, get a 27" IMAC

  • @wentw1tj windows are good too your just to ignorant to try

  • @wentw1tj HA HA ha ha

  • @wentw1tj While you're stupid enough to blow money on a 27" iMac I can build a PC for equal performance with half the money saved. Typical clueless Mac user.

  • @Wes2299 yup

  • @Wes2299 you are for sure stupid for building a PC you must like fixing your junk all the time. you see us MAC people also the real (smart people) like to use are computers and cant have them down all the time like your's. So be for you go running your month you make sure you know what you are talking about. MAC's are by far the best computers on the market, the reason PC (microsoft) is even still around is because dumb SHIT ass's like you still blow mom and dads money on them.

  • @wentw1tj your deep ignorance forced me to sign in here so read carefully. If you classify and judge equipment for Apple and Microsoft branded stuff (of course MAC is not a brand jerk) you are the one of people that I can call also as pulp (yeah probably you will need some dictionary for that to understand the offense). First of all. When you buy Apple branded stuff "fixing your junk" is not an option - BECAUSE even Fraple couldn't do that. Second one is... try any unix system (OSX is based on)

  • Hey there after reading what you wrote, you bring entirely new meaning to the word (indigent) you see the reason this word describes you is because you can’t afford a MAC and it makes you feel good to give you worthless opinion were no one cares about your like for Microsoft. (It is inexpensive junk and it fits you to a T. O and by the way MAC is short for Macintosh, you uneducated, ignorant Jackass. Did you know PC Stands for Personal Computer or did I make that up to???

  • @wentw1tj

    Back then MACs had the graphical advantage because it was able to use a lot of ram while Windows were handicapped at 4 gigs and lower for the longest time. That is why it was popular among artists back then, but nowadays that isnt true anymore with 64 bit systems available. So there really isnt any performance or quality boost MAC has over PC's. The only difference is the cost and you're paying a lot for apple product.

  • @Wes2299 HA HA HA no u can't, u can get a fucking bit of plastic whit a shitty processor, or u can spend some real money and buy a full aluminum body beauty whit a perfect screen and a awesome processor... AND THE AMAZING APPLE FIRMWARE!!!

  • @Wes2299

    true that

  • @wentw1tj Haha you're a dumb fuck. It's ALL about personal opinion. You may prefer Mac (same as me) but loads of others will prefer PC's because you don't have to pay an extra £1000 just so it 'looks cool'.

  • @wentw1tj yeah sure an Imac will cost you $800,- more.. Has a very limited capabilities and the whole apple systems allows no software which isn't from Apple. Ideal for some kids and old people

  • @wentw1tj For the cheapest price of an imac, I could get my current Windows computer twice. So fuck that shit.

  • canon the besttttt,fuck u nikonnn

  • @damncraboo hey man, u don't know wat u talk about..

  • @damncraboo brand loyalty is for sheep.

  • NIce review. Where did you get your Camera Bag from?

  • Comment removed

  • hahahahaha his commentary is brilliant!

  • 5:00

    OMG A LENS HOOD

  • Fuck fuck fuck!!!!!!!!!!! when will the 24-70mm ii out I am dying to get the mk1 but I know as soon as I get it the mk2 will be out.

  • With the IS I get the same low-light performance as a 2.8 aperture because I can use slower shutter speeds handheld... So why not go for the extra reach and sharpness? Love my 24-105!!

  • @sarasnee7 You get 3 stops from the IS, so it's as 'fast' as a 1.4 (or 2.0), but you still need more time (1 stop more) to get the light, ... so yeah for fixed objects, it's 'faster', but for moving objects, it's slower ... extra zoom is nice.

  • @sarasnee7

    I'm getting 24-150 soon, but I have a question. Does it have the same durability as the 24-70?

  • @Anhslaught absolutely not.

  • Not everything is to be relied on for a day to day bases. Just look at Windows PC's!!! HAHAHA

  • Can you do a review on the sigma 24-70mm f2.8 EX DG Macro?

  • I wonder why the 300mm L lens internal elements become pieces...

  • I have used both Canon and Nikon extensively with top glass and I have found the following:-

    - Canon has more natural colors although the images are softer compared to Nikon. This includes using L glass.

    - Nikon has more vibrant colors which appear slightly less natural but still pleasing with extremely sharp glass and better noise performance.

    If I could afford it, I would use Canon for portraits and Nikon for everything else.

    Both manufacturers are brilliant!

  • there is not the camera in the world, that will suit my needs, 90% it can be Leica m9, Canon 1 D X, and so on..(Hasselblad, Leica S2)

  • @imperatorMher You're stupid.

  • Canon is Better! colors are true in Canon than in Nikon.... Canon is BEST!

  • @imperatorMher I use canon myself, only canon, but the best camera is the one that suits your needs, not the name brand

  • Darn it, making it harder to wait. That's it, if I hit my sales goals this Friday, or should I say WHEN u hit them, i am getting the Nikon 24-70!!

  • Good Job on the video and straight talk!

  • the sky looks amazing!

  • where is this at?

    

  • @myfunkychannel Hong Kong

  • I like this guys reviews he is good...straight talk.

  • glad they got rid of Mr Hands man.. that guy must be quite a wanker

  • Put it in the bag... PUT IT IN THE BAG!!! :D

  • OMG BRITISH ASIANS........................­.....

  • mmmm 24-105 lens is waterproof?? i saw the lens is used when in the rain.

  • @martsyeko The lens isn't exactly water proof, but is water resistant. You could probably throw the lens in some water and nothing would happen to it but i wouldn't recommend it.

  • and the winner is !!!!!

  • He is probably the clumsiest human being on earth! My god.

  • 9:54 reminds me of a foreign japanese film!

  • A wild Britasian appears...

  • your videos make want to eat cake :)

  • 4:34 LOL! shut up i need to review a lens!

  • 17-55 vs 24-70 vs 24-105

    PLEASE

  • The old 28 to 70 F 2.8 L USM was even bedder.

  • taylor swift plays in asia??

  • the weather sux where your videos are its always nasty out lol

  • I want to buy a new lens a 24-70 or a 24-105 with one woulld be a good one to buy if you are a events photographer

  • if you can only choose one L lens which one it will be and why? I guess you call it all purpose lens

  • @appledd1966 24-105 L IS USM

  • @appledd1966

    24-105 f/4 L IS USM

  • which lens would be the best for portraits?

    the 24-70 or the 24-105 or the 85 1,2 or the 100 2,8 or the 135 2,0??

    

  • @LukHofs

    85 1.2

  • @LukHofs 85 1.2, but it's VERY expensive. Consider the 50 1.2 L.

  • @LukHofs 85

  • @LukHofs but it actually depends if u want sharp portraits go for the nikkor 24-70 get an adapter nikon to canon thts what i have on my 5d...

    but if u want portraits not as sharp but with montru bokuh then get the 85 1.2

  • @LukHofs

    I use the 50mm 1.4 for portraits. It's great! You can actually go cheaper with the 1.8 and it will still look amazing.

  • dat 8-15 fisheye cameo

  • 6:34 'im lisking my live here' LOL

  • hey drev team. i think you should include the sony CZ 24-70 f2.8 as well and compare their IQ and etc. also don't forget the sigma 24-70 version as well.

  • Best collection of funny faces from 4:35-4:38 4:36 wins

  • Can you review Sony Zeiss 24-70 f2.8 and compare it

  • Deberian subtitular estos videos!! :(

  • Sorry but if you're as reckless to drop such a beautiful 24-70 lens, I realy think you're not worth having one. The fact that it's still working is not something to be proud of... Just be delicate with this type of equipment, couse there are a lot of people out there who wish they could afford such a lens! Nice review though.

  • I mean 8:39 :O

  • 8:44 :D

  • @thedangb28 if you want more zoom 24-105 fursure.... if you want more depth of field 24-70 fursure. I personally would go for the 24-70 because the aperture is so big for a zoom and perfect for low light shots. I do however mainly use my Canon 60D for videos so you're getting this suggestion from a film maker's point of view. But regardless.... you can never go wrong with a big aperture.

  • hi do a review/comparisons best optical walk around lens for £400-£300.

  • LOC C!!!! Do you normally use 24-105mm ??? I'm really into photography and taking video and was wondering which one would you choose? I would be taking the same amount of photos and videos. Which one and why! PLZ RESPOND

    THANKS

  • @PortalRealm He said 24-105. Slower aperture, but he really enjoys how much sharper it is.

  • Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 G vs nikon 24-120 f4 vr PLEASE !!!!

  • When are you guys going to review the canon 10-22 and 17-55? Keep up the good work! :D

  • WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DO A REVIEW ON SAMYANG LENSES AND SIGMA 10 - 20 MM ? HI ALAMBY.

  • As always, very informative in an entertaining and educational way. The girl is what she always is, cute.

  • Go to digital picture .com there is hardly any difference between them, which is also what camera labs show. So get you're lens fixed Kai. And you can't compare one lens against the other when one is shot at 2.8 and the other at f4.

  • About the 24-70 getting a update with IS, I can't see canon selling it for less than £1500, look what happened to the 70-200 2.8 is mkii and the mki already had is. I don't think I'll be buying it.

  • are we supposed to take this guy serious, he's reviewing a lens thats been dropped so bad you can't get a filter on the front. If this guy's given up he's day job to do this at least be a bit more professional.

  • the 8-15 fisheye has IS?

  • No way in heck was this a review.

  • up!!!24-105VS17-55VS24-70

  • Whilst both 24/70 & 24/105 are excellent lenses (I have used them both) most wedding photographers seem now to be buying the 24/105 losing the 2.8 but gaining the IS.

    About time Canon did a 24/70 f2.8 IS

    Strange that the much newer NIKON lens is NOT better than the Canon 24/70 which has been around for many years – clearly Canon L lenses were and are still years ahead of Nikon.

  • 15-85 vs 24-70 PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Can't believe your dropping lens' that are over 1k and laughing about it all the time. If you have such disregard for the equipment maybe you should share it with the less well off toggers out there. But anyway back to saving I go.

  • thumbs up if a thumbnail he looks like mr.bean

  • Comment removed

  • Im not really good with all this technical mombojumbo but which is better overall, the canon 24-70mm f/2.8L or the Canon 5D Mark II?

  • @ks12332112 thats a ridiculous question..

    Both are amazing bits of kit.

  • @ks12332112 That's a joke right?

  • Been waiting for this one for a long time.
