Canon 24-105 f4 + Sigma MC-11

Recommended Posts

I am new in the Forum and I would need some help in this case

 

I am currently using my Sony a7II with 3 Prime Lenses

 

Batis 25 f2

Sony Zeiss 55 1.8 and

Batis 85 f1.8

 

That is a great Quattro and I love it, it makes fun, great Picture Quality, IBIS, every Thing oK

 

But sometimes when I am with the Family or on Holiday I need a Zoom.

 

My favorite Zoom would be a 24-105 or 24-120 mm Lens, a good Compromise betwwen the Quality & Comfort.

 

After trying defferent Combos I decided do get the canon 24-105 f4

 

The Canon works great with Sigma MC-11, not too heavy, ist weather sealed, Auto focus is fast, all Infos could be seen in the Camera, every thing oK with one single problem:

IBIS / IS Incompatibility

 

I have no possibility to turn the IBIS on or off, the only Possibility ist to turn the IS from the lens on/off, in this case both IS & IBIS together could be turned on or off.

 

But I would wish to turn the IS off & IBIS on

Why

I hat other older canon telezooms like 75-300 with no IS, wenn I use the lens with the Sony, the IBIS of the camera is on and works great even by 300mm, but in the case of 24-105, the IS overrides the IBIS and the Steady shot is almost useless. 

the Question:

Is anybody out there who can tell me how can I turn the IS off & IBIS on to make the most from my canon 24-105. Is it possible ??

 

Thanks for the comments & help

    • I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.
    • Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!
    • I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
