• A Real Performer and Workhorse of a Lens!
  The 24-105 f.4 L (my first "L" lens) was just what I was needing to replace my 5 year old Canon 28-135 that was starting to make strange noises.
  First thing I did wass shoot a series of exposures using my 40D, shooting from a tripod using each of the lens' marked apertures and focal lenghts. My test target was a sheet of newspaper stretched tightly on a wall. I was very impressed with almost every image when viewed at 100%. All I saw that I didn't really like was a little corner softness with the lens... more info

• Quality way below expectation
  During extensive testing of the lens on a Canon Xsi (12MP) I found the lens to be very sharp in the center of the picture on all zoom levels, but the edge of the lens was quite another matter.

• Amazing Quality
  I am using this lens on a new Canon 50D 15 MP camera. Properly used, it offers perfectly clear and tack sharp photos at very high resolutions. It is smooth to operate and very fast for auto focus.

• bought a new and got a used one.
  I received my lens and I noticed that the boxed looked open. As I open the box it had the warrenty card shove in as after thought. Further inspection showed that it had no lens cover and the lens and case was assembled back wrong into the package. The sealing bag laid directly on the front element. It is a shame that this was sent out as a new lens, but Amazon service took the lens back and refunded all of my money. I had bought 3 $1,000 plus L type lens from another mail order group for typically $20-100... more info
