I'm wondering how the 6D and 24-105 will perform at a wedding shoot. Yes, I realize a 2.8 would be better....

Thanks - Ponz

They should perform fine with each other.

Doubt the camera or the lens will be the limiting factor. Got flash?

I've shot weddings with the Nikon version and it performed well. I've used the Canon version (but not in weddings) and suspect it would perform just as well. The VR/IS of these lenses actually give them an advantage in certain wedding situations, like when you have to drag the shutter for low-light flash shooting of static scenes.

I second shot on the weekend with a friend in Sydney who uses one. I used it for this one shot.

I would use it regularly if I owned it and still shot weddings.

I'm not sure what you are hoping to see, other than some pictures that realistically could have been taken by any number of lenses in that focal length range.

I have the 24-105L and it's my go to standard zoom lens. I've owned the 24-70 2.8 as well (several copies). I've used it at weddings, corporate shoots etc. It's a good lens, especially for the price.

If you're looking for wedding related shots in order to validate your decision, check out the wedding forum here on FM, I'm sure you'll get more replies there with a chance for people to pimp their shots

Would be a fine combination. 2.8 might be better in some ways, but f/4 with IS and a longer maximum focal length has its advantages, too.

Regarding your request to see images you can find way more than you'll ever get here by doing a bit of searching online. For example, I just plugged "photographs made with canon 6D and 24-105" into a google search. You'll get thousands of photographs. (Yes, many are of the equipment rather than with it, but you'll see lots of examples.)

On that thought a search at 500px for "24-105 wedding" might generate some results as well.

The 24-105 is a highly capable wedding lens; the bigger question is if the 6d center point AF sensor is a cross point at f/4 (I am too lazy to look it up). I shot with a 24-70 until replacing my 5d2 with a 5d3.

You should post this question in the wedding forum to get more answers

Way too many variables to answer this type of broad question.

I bought the 6D with the 24-105 as the kit lens and I was pretty sure I was going to sell the lens. I had used the 24-70 2.8 before but was never really happy with it. However I find the 24-105 a very useful range, and I find my copy sharp enough for me wide open. Combine the ISO performance and light weight of the 6D and I really enjoy this combo.

Here is a few of images from some friends weddings that I shot recently, FWIW.
