I love this lens! Being able to hand hold 3 stops more with the image stabilization is incredible! The color, contrast and the sharpness are top notch! Here are some shots take in British Columbia with it at a farm. These are basically walk around snap shots but it gives you an idea! http://www.pbase.com/jeimuzu/mission&page=all I have it hooked up to my Canon 30D DSLR giving me an 35mm equivalent of 38mm-168mm. It most cases its a good range. There are times I wish I could go wider. That will change when I go to a 35mm sensor soon!

Some of the true possibilities of this wonderful walkaround lens are here, imho http://www.pbase.com/adalberto_tiburzi/capri_24_105 Adal

Under many (I'd say all) respects, the 24-105 L appears unbeatable as a walkaround lens http://www.pbase.com/adalberto_tiburzi/montreal Adal

Perfect lense which stays on my camera most of the time. Good range on my 30D, even better and near perfect range on my 1D. Sharpness, colour and contrast on my copy are excellent. f/4.0 is more than enough and if not I always have one or two fast primes with me. The effect of the IS is invaluable, particularly when shooting from a helicopter: http://www.pbase.com/matthias_woeckel/image/79751114 This lense deserves the L-designation and is highly recommended!

Even on a crop camera (I now use it on a 400D/XTI) it's a fantastic lens. The range, IS, constant F4, build quality and fast focusing are a joy to use. And when the time is right to go full-frame you can take the lens and use it (it's an EF lens not EF-S). Ideal travel lens! I used it for my last trips to Sri Lanka http://www.pbase.com/tvw/sri_lanka) and Samos http://www.pbase.com/tvw/samos).

A comparison between the 24-105 on a 5D and the 18-55 kit lens on a Rebel. http://www.pbase.com/adalberto_tiburzi/calcata Photos 2004 are Rebel/kit lens, photos 2007 are 5D/24-105. Although taken in different light, the superior class of the 24-105 in contrast sharpness and colours appears evident. Ok, that said, I must admit that I love the natural, flat, non spicey rendition of the good, old, cheap, and above all low weight 18-55 kit lens. In faith ;-) Adal

I love these bokeh comments...

TOM S.		11-Apr-2007 09:52
the bokeh is not great :(

Though it does distort at 24mm, I am very happy with this lens. It makes for a fine walkaround lens. The IS is useful in those low light moments.

After using this lens for a week I really loved the IS and bright colors: http://www.pbase.com/kzaret/24104_f4l_tests&page=1 But the images were soft: http://www.pbase.com/kzaret/2485_vs_24105 I returned it to B&H and they gave me a new version which was sharp: http://www.pbase.com/kzaret/replacement_24105l_lens_test I am now happy with the lens for all of the positives listed by others here. Definitely recommend checking out the quality, if you get one, but now I am very pleased. The IS, color, and sharpness are amazing, and I like the range on the 30D.

I purchased this lens in August 2006 as a 'kit' lens with my new 5D. I had wanted this lens anyway as it has a great range for an L lens and is not too expensive. For full frame it is an excellant walkabout lens. Although I found I often wanted to go a bit more wide and this lens can have some distortion at 24mm (so I bought the 17-35mm f2.8 L second hand), I particularly like the fact this lens goes to 105mm unlike some of the competotor L lenses. It means that for 'walkabout' you do not have to change your lenses quite as often as you otherwsie might. I am satisfied with this lens and would highly recommend anyone buying the 5D to get one as a kit lens as it is then very good value indeed. Here are some pics I took with it: http://www.pbase.com/nickdemarco/canon_24105mm_f4_l_lens

this is my everyday lens...decent focal length and opening at a constant 4....the IS function gives it the ability to shoot in low light situations w/o boosting the iso

After using this lens for a month, I can say this is my favorite Canon lens of all time. (The day after this lens arrived, I put my EF 24-85, EF 28-70L, and EF 28-135 IS up for sale, as this replaced the trio.) PRO: 1) The Focal length is a in good range. A 24mm on the 10D, with the 1.6X crop factor, is just wide enough where I can travel with one single lens if I wanted to. 2) The Image Stablization works extremely well, allowing hand holding at 2-3 stops slower than without IS. 3) The glass is L quality, producing sharp vibrant images. 4) Solid construction. The zoom and focus rings has a solid feel to them. There is no lens creep, even when it's pointed straight up. The only downside is the price, but you soon get over it after you see the results.

This lens is almost never off my 5D - perfect range and super optics, very sharp even at f4.0 and the IS works brilliantly. Examples: http://www.pbase.com/flemmingbo/copenhagen

No regrets buying this lens. Have gotten great results on my 30D with it. Great sharpness almost throughout the zoom range, contrasty and nice colours. > http://canon24105.blogspot.com

An instant classic from Canon. The color, contrast and sharpness of this lens is simply stellar. I like to shoot hand held and the 3rd gen IS lets me get razor sharp photos at 1/10 and even slower shutter speeds. There is some vignetting and distortion but they are easily corrected in Photoshop.

paul yung		27-Mar-2006 08:07
I have own or used at least 80 pecent of all the lens Canon ever made. This 24 to 105 L is one of very best.

soner yasar		25-Feb-2006 12:20
this lens is very big disappointment and does not deserve the red "L" stripe on its barrel. Image quality is lower than i expected from $1200 lens. vignetting, barrel distortion and flare control of this lens lower than some third party 5 times lower priced lenses.

Ron Wright		24-Feb-2006 23:59
I bought this lens and within a few days returned it for a full refund. I couldn't see a big improvement over my 17-85mm EFS IS and my 70-300mm EF IS does better than this L. For a comparison, look here: http://www.pbase.com/ronsc/lenstest
