Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0 L IS USM Lens Excellent quality photos. Handy size and strongly built. – Geoffrey Foale – S. Devon, UK
I bought this lens to replace my Canon 28-135 mm which was starting to fell a bit sloppy and had a hairline crack in the case.

When I did some direct comparison tests I found the 28-135 was actually fractionally sharper at the centre but this reduced towards the edges, while the 24-105 held it’s sharpness all the way. Used with my Canon 40D, this is a useful size for a general purpose lens. I’m not really worried about wide angle use, which is better achieved with a specialist lens anyway.

The 24-105 retains detail in the highlight and shadow areas when it is lost with the cheaper lens. But whether that is worth over twice the price will depend on the individual user’s requirements. I found the Canon 28-135 IS to be an excellent budget lens, but the 24-105 is certainly a much stronger construction.

Focus is quite close for macro work particularly with an extension tube. The lens will not accept a Canon Tele Converter and I haven’t tried it with a third party converter.

So if you can afford the price, and this lens matches your size requirements, I don’t think you will be disappointed.
I use a Canon EOS 40D and I bought this lens as I anticipate that I will probably use it for around 80% of the photographs I take. The main attraction, to me, is probably carrying less gear but also reducing lens changes and the resulting possibility of dust spots.

There’s no two ways about it this lens is expensive but the saying “you get what you pay for” seems to ring very true with lenses. Believe me I didn’t spend nearly £[] on a lens lightly but I’ve got two other L series lenses and I consider them to be worth the extra outlay.

I think most people who look at this lens also consider the even more expensive Canon 24-70 2.8. I have an independent marque 24-70 2.8 that is much softer than I would like and very heavy. I considered selling it and buying the Canon 24-70 but eventually decided to keep it as a back up and buy this lens. Even if I’d sold it and added the money to the cost of this lens it may not have made the cost of the Canon 24-70 2.8. I tell you this because to an extent the decision of which lens to buy was probably simpler for me than it will be for many. If I hadn’t had the independent lens I would have been sorely tempted by the faster 2.8 aperture.

Now I have this lens I find it to be very sharp, flexible and well made and to an extent the IS makes up for the slower aperture. It really does seem to be an all purpose lens and I highly recommend it. Canon: 0344B006AA Canon EF Autofocus Lenses Canon s reputation for excellence in optics has been well established for years. And with the introduction of EF lenses for the EOS, it s only getting better. EF Lenses have the largest diameter mount of any 35mm camera, which not only strengthens the whole system, but permits optical innovations never before possible. L-Series lenses have better sharpness and contrast because Canon uses aspherical elements to eliminate spherical aberrations. In addition, the L-Series telephotos use UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass to reduce chromatic aberration resulting in more accurate colors. A built-in Ultrasonic focusing Motor (indicated by USM) provides pro-quality AF speed with split-second accuracy. This easy-to-use standard zoom lens can cover a large zoom area ranging from 24mm wide-angle to 105mm portrait-length telephoto. 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.
