"I shoot primarily landscape photos. I am by no means an expert but a novice who's learning as I go along. After much online research, I've decided to open my pocketbook and purchase a Canon 24-70mm lens. Most likely the lens that will be on my camera 90% of the time. I like the IS feature on the Canon lens. So.... for me, a novice, which lens would be suitable for me and why. The Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM or the Canon 24-70mm f/4L IS USM. Thank you."
Hi Charles,
Thanks for your question on which is the best version of the Canon 24-70mm zoom lens to choose for landscape photography. It's an interesting question and I'll do my best to help you choose.
First, I'll assume that you'll be shooting with a full frame camera and that you aren't dealing with a crop factor. That would make the 24-70mm have too narrow of an angle of view-an equivalent view as a 38-112. If not, and you're shooting with one of the APS-C "crop" Canon DSLR cameras, the 24-70mm lens would be a bad choice. Then, you'd be better using the wider angle 17-40mm or 16-35mm f/2.8 for shooting landscapes.

I just purchased a 5D mark iv to replace an 80d. One of my go to lenses, a canon 70-200 f2.8 L is ii seems to have an issue with my new 5D. I've noticed

Is it really important that you buy one of the Canon tripods or can you abandon your loyalty to Canon camera accessories?

Canon battery grips have several desirable functions and many consider them the best canon camera accessory to own.

Compatibility chart for the Canon BG-E7 Battery Grip. Best price and alternatives. Get more shooting power and better balance with longer lenses.
