What about smaller sensors above 2/3" like APS-C? So… this list does not apply when using full frame cameras? What about smaller sensors above 2/3″ like APS-C?

Depth of field is dramatically different nowadays.

At least that is what I have read in several articles. Also the 24-105 is varifocal but minimal OOF issues compared to other Canon L Glass like the 24-70 I don’t believe that any of the 4 Canon 70-200 zooms are parfocal.

Nevertheless it does change focus with the zoom. I don’t think 24-105mm is parfocal but it changes focus very little with the zoom so as far as video it could be considered as parfocal.

What a shame I guess I have to put it on the shelf and just enjoy looking at it. I guess according to you Sigma 12-24mm (both versions) is not compatible with my 5D2.

The zoom/focus rings are a bit tight to turn, we'll see how this changes once I use it a bit more over the years. Definitely a keeper, even though there is a bit of barrel/pincushion distortion throughout it's range. Sharp wide open. I can also attest to the fact that the 24-105L is parfocal.
