Will this work on a Canon EOS 5D Mark iii? what is the big difference between this lens and the 24-105mm?

This lens will work on any of the EOS camera's I actually don't do much photography as I purchased a T3i just to shoot video. Sorry I'm not much help. Good luck

I don't know if it would fit the EOS 5D Mark III. You could check with Canon. I love this lens, I use it for all my portrait shots. The 24-105mm would allow you to get further away from your subject, or closer depending on the shot. My next camera will be the Canon 70D. I have a Canon Rebel T3, and it hasn't let me down yet.

Yes, and difference is this one is a bit smaller range, but about the same....either one good for all use.

Yes, the 85mm 1.8 works well with my 5D Mark III. This is my go to lens for potraits. I would definitely recommend this lens.

The Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM AF Lens has 77mm threads so this filter will fit it.

Yes and works flawless, I have used this on my D7000 and prefer it over any other lens in the bag. It does increase it to 36mm-105mm which is a nice range.

Hardy,Thanks for the info about getting better lenses. I just "bit the bullet" and bought the 24-105mm L lens. I have heard this same wise advice from other photographers, and I am looking forward to getting sharper photos with the new lens, and I will try to get only L lenses from now on. In the end, you truly get what you pay for.

The 24-105 lens is the lens that is on my camera about 80% of the time. For everyday, walk around use, I think it is a great lens.

This mount holds my 5D Mkiii with a 24-105 lens no problem. the only problem I have had, is if you are mounting it to glass, and trying to shoot looking out of the same glass, the legs aren't long enough for that lens. You'll have to buy an extension.

I have owned the 17-40L. It's a good lens. Its advantage over the 24-105 is only in the FL 17-24mm. For folks whose main interest is wide angle landscape images, the 17-40 has that advantage. In all other respects, I think the 24-105 wind, hands down. Its sharpness and detail is at least the equal of the 17-40, and of course it has the typical Canon L lens colors and contrast (all good). I really like the reach, out to 105mm, of the 24-105. Its weight, length, and balance are excellent for a lens of this focal length. It has become my favorite lens for the Canon 70D.

Hello, this lens it's designed for crop sensor cameras and even though you can mount it on the 5DMk3, it's going to give you a lot of vignetting, practically impossible to use it. If you want an all purpose lens, you should go for a 24-70mm. f/2.8.

It will work with your 5D Mark III. That said, it is not of a quality to give you more than marginal shots. You will be much happier with a quality dedicated fisheye, such as the Rokinon HD8M-C 8mm f/3.5 HD Fisheye Lens with Removeable Hood for Canon DSLR 8-8mm, Fixed-Non-Zoom Lens, here on Amazon. This lens works flawlessly on a full sensor camera, just be aware that you will need to manually focus any shots closer than about 6 feet. Check a local shop for a rental lens, use it and then decide for yourself.

Yes. My source? It fits on both my 70D amd 5DIII like a charm. Just note that on the 70D, the 24-70 will have a range of approximately 38-112 due to the crop factor. The lens is a perfect match for the full frame 5DIII. I find that the 70D does not take advantage of the lens capabilities, producing imgaes with somewhat less dynamic range. Still, this lens is impressive, producing quality images much like Canon's finest prime lenses.

I have the canon 17-85mm lens and it works great. You could also get the 40mm pancake or if you have a bit more of a buget, get the 24-105 mm canon lens, it is a sweet lens with a sharp image.

For sure, it's a big deal buy the Canon 6D with the 24-105 L IS kit lens.Its a L series that costs about U$800.00 if bought separately.I bought mine with this lens plus a cheap 50mm 1.8.I am very happy with this set. Very very good pictures quality with the 24-105mm.RegardsJosé Geraldo

I tried it on a 24-105 and could not get it to work so I sent it back. I did not try on my 50mm 1.4. I think there are better choices.

I can't speak to the 70d specifically, but it works great on my Canon sl1, so still a crop sensor and digic5. I use it mostly as an astro lens and like it a lot from the couple of times I have used it.

I bought the 24-105 lens recently because I thought the IS would make up for my lack of a higher aperture in low-light situations. It does to an extent, but I have decided that I want the f/2.8 for other reasons. So I'm trying to sell my 24-105 so I can buy the 24-70. I do wish the 24-70 had IS, but it's really not necessary because it's just a faster lens. It really depends on your use. If you are using it for weddings, you may want to consider the 24-70 because of the faster focusing and better handling in low-light situations. If you are using it for a general walk-around lens, the 24-105 will do just fine. I love mine and I almost want to keep it and buy the 24-70, but I can't afford both right now and I need the 24-70 for my business. You can see some sample photos from the 24-105 at my website: www.sarakelley.net. Email me there if you want more input or have any questions.

I would hesitate to buy the EF-S lens. Some of the 7d owners, including myself, would probably consider, in not very distant future, either upgrade to a FF or get a 2nd FF body. EF-S only works for APS-C sensor. If you later get a 1d or 5d body, you will have to sell your EF-S lens.If FF is a possibility for you in future, the 24-105 would be a better investment.
