Product Details

Description:

This easy-to-use standard zoom lens can cover a large zoom area ranging from 24mm wide-angle to 105mm portrait-length telephoto, and its Image Stabilizer Technology steadies camera shake up to three stops. Constructed with one Super-UD glass element and three aspherical lenses, this lens minimizes chromatic aberration and distortion. The result is excellent picture quality, even at wide apertures. Canon's ring-type USM gives silent but quick AF, along with full-time manual focus. Moreover, with dust- and moisture-resistant construction, this is a durable yet sophisticated lens that meets the demands of advanced amateur photographers and professional photographers alike.

Terrific All Around Lens

Strengths: Very Sharp Optics, IS, Versatile Zoom Range, Compact, Lightweight Lens

Weakness: At f/4 limited aperature for indoor shots at wide angle

I've used this lens for shooting both outdoor portraits and landscapes and it is incredibly sharp and a versatile lens. The image stabilization is great allowing use without a tripod in many instances. I keep this lens on my camera 90% of the time (I have also the 17-40mm 4L and 70-300mm EF IS lens). I purchased this lens in March 2006 so it has a later build date (in contrast to earlier...

A Lens for Everyone! (If you can afford it!)

Strengths: Awesome Colors, Sharpness, and IS!

Weakness: None really

First off if you purchase a lens that is advertised as f/4 how is the fact that it is f/4 a weakness? That's kind of like buying a Yugo and then saying it doesn't do 175 MPH. Yes this lens is f/4. However, the IS makes up for a lot. Being able to handhold a shot at 1/15 of a second is awesome. Remember though, the IS will only stop the camera from moving, not the subject. So if you have an active...

EF 24-105mm f/4

Strengths: Sharp, stunning IS, solid build, nice color/contract. Did I mention sharp?

Weakness: None. Maybe the zoom is a little bit too tight.

Like most people, I struggled on deciding between 24-105 f/4 and 24-70 f/2.8. I went for 24-105 because of the IS, size, weight, and extra 35mm zoom. It's suppose to be a "walkaround" lens. 24-70 is just too heavy. I assume I got a good copy. It's very sharp wide open between 24-50 mm. At 105mm, it is still very sharp 1-stop down. The color and contract is just amazing. Bokeh is smooth, not like...

Great walkaround 24-105L IS

Strengths: size smaller than 24-70L, nice. Bring anywhere lens that has rich creamy colors and amazing sharpness.

Weakness: I have not seen any weaknesses, occasional slight ca in bright sun.

Would have loved it to be a f2.8-4.0, but with the IS you can get very sharp indoor shots without flash. Lenshood included, nice weight distribution for the 20D. I havn't tested fully the infinity clarity yet, but for everything else I am in awe of the precision and color. I bought it for a walkaround so I didn't have to lug a bunch of lenses around. Havn't had my others out since this purchase....

Amazing Lens - Highly Recommended

Strengths: Amazing optical clarity, Great focal range, Fast quiet focusing, Image Stabilization, Solid build quality

Weakness: None so far.

This was my first L-class lens, and I have to say that it has opened my eyes to a world of photography that I didn't think I could attain. My photos have much greater clarity, and the image stabilization helps in low light conditions. The focal range on this lens is great for general use. I can take close up portraits as well as decent landscape shots without having to switch to another lens. I...
