Wow, what a great lens

5out of 5

Pros: Strong Construction, Quiet, Sharp Focus, Rugged, Consistent Output, Durable

Cons: NONE

Best Uses: Wildlife, Landscape, Sports/Action, Portraits, General Use

Describe Yourself: Hobbyist/Enthusiast

This was the second ‘L’ series lens I bought and I wish it had been the first. It seldom leaves my camera anymore. This lens has great IQ, fast AF and is just a joy to use. I give this lens 9.9 points out of 10 (if it were a constant f/2.8 instead of f/4 it would be a 10).

Update 07/07/2008 -  My opinion of this lens continues to improve the more I use it. I have tagged a number of photos that were taken with this lens, if you are interested. Click HERE to see the list.

Update 05/15/2009 – The more I use this lens the more I learn about it. I recently experimented with some low light shots and was pleasantly surprised at the results. This photo is one of my recent shots with it:

Update 09/09/2009:

I recently purchased a used Canon 5D camera and I have to say that the 24-105 is an even better performer on a full frame sensor!  Getting the full 24mm of this lens for the first time was awesome!  I suspect that the 24-105 will be on my 5D most of the time now, they are a perfect match for each other.
