Standard zoom lens that pairs good with Canon R10 Hello, I’m looking for a lens that can compliment my R10. I take mostly portrait and landscape so a standard zoom is what I’m after. My budget is under 1200, but I’m not in a hurry because I have a 17-50 f2.8 from Tamron. Looking at the 24-105mm f4 from Canon and it’s $1299 right now, so I’ll wait for it to go on sale. Any other recommendations?…

Question about performance differences between a f/1.2 and f/1.8 lens for example If I’m shooting at f/5.6 do they both perform the same?

Upgraded lens and having hard time getting sharp photos I went from a sony 24-105 f4 g to the 24-70 f2.8 gmii (On an a7IV) and I feel like I’m having a much harder time getting sharp pictures.
