Canon 5D Mark II kit with 24-105mm f/4L — the legendary DSLR with professional zoom.
The Canon EOS 5D Mark II and EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM combination became one of the most widely used professional full-frame camera kits of the late 2000s and 2010s. The 5D Mark II, released in 2008, was the first Canon DSLR with Full HD 1080p video recording, transforming documentary and cinematic filmmaking.
The 5D Mark II provides a 21.1-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, Full HD 1080p video at 30fps, Canon EF mount, ISO 100–6400 (expandable to 25600), 9-point AF, and a 3.9fps burst rate. The bundled 24-105mm f/4L IS covers a versatile 24–105mm range with constant f/4 aperture and IS optical stabilisation.
The 24-105mm f/4L IS is an ideal companion lens for this body — its constant f/4 aperture covers wide-angle through portrait-length telephoto, and IS provides stabilisation useful for both photography and video. The combination covers the complete range of professional photography and was widely used by photojournalists, wedding photographers, and documentary filmmakers. The 5D Mark II's video capabilities effectively launched the DSLR video revolution.
Test Full HD video recording and verify audio input functionality. Check the 9-point AF for accuracy across the 24-105mm zoom range. Test IS operation on the lens. Inspect full-frame sensor for dust. Verify shutter count on the body. Check the EF mount contacts on both body and lens.
