Comparison of Canon EF 24-105 L USM to other lenses on an EOS 5D 

Intro - 24 mm - 28 mm - 50 mm - 85 mm - 100/105 mm - Summary

 

This is a comparison of a Canon EF 24-105/4.0 L IS USM versus the the Canon EF 28/1.8, 50/1.4, 85/1.8, and 100/2.8 prime lenses shot different f-stops using a Canon EOS 5D set at ISO 100. A Sigma 12-24 EX is thrown in at 24 mm for good measure.


The photographed scene: 
The Greenhouse in Copenhagen Botanical Gardens
Shot @ 24 mm and f. 8.0

The camera was tripod mounted. Images were captured as RAW and converted to 24 bit TIFF files using DPP 3.0.1. Sharpness was set to 0 (no sharpening) and no other post processing has been applied to the images. 200x200 pixel crops were excised from the centre, middle (corresponding to APS-C edge) and periphery and saved as TIFF prior to conversion as JPEG files.
