Brand: Canon

Located in: Photography, Camera Lenses

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.

Comments about Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Standard Zoom Autofocus Lenses- W/ USA WARRANTY:

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.

Comments about Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Standard Zoom Autofocus Lenses- W/ USA WARRANTY:

I am a avid photographer with love for Canon cameras and lenses.

I currently also own a Canon 5D MKII with a 28-300 but was starting to find the lens heavy for day to day use though excellent versatility on a trip.

After reading some reviews I shortlisted the 24-70, and 24-105. Had a hard time deciding between the two till a semi-pro friend of mine highly recommended the 24-105 for the lighter weight as well I read the loss of a couple of focal points was actually not that bad for this lens.

I just finished a short trip with the camera and lens combo and love the lens. The pictures are sharp, the lens performs very well under different light conditions. So far very good experience.

Comments about Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Standard Zoom Autofocus Lenses- W/ USA WARRANTY:

I replaced Canon 28-135mm with this 24-105mm L-lens. This is my second L-lens from Canon.
The quick noticeable changes are much better and faster focus, better performance in low light. This is my primary all walk-around lens now.
Thanks to the better auto-focus I can take more high quality portrait pics.
The only cons is the price, but there is not much an ordinary customer could do, especially if it's backordered at most vendors.

Comments about Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Standard Zoom Autofocus Lenses- W/ USA WARRANTY:

In addition to the pluses noted above, this is a wondeful lens for travel photos. The image stabilizer and high-quality construction permit sharp, hand-held shots without flash in relatively low light.

Comments about Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Standard Zoom Autofocus Lenses- W/ USA WARRANTY:

I have a Canon 5d Mark ii and use this lens for both photography and HD video.

This is an ideal lens for someone who is traveling and only wants to pack one lens or does not want to change lenses often.

Results I have achieved are sometimes not as creative as when I bring my full lens set, but beat hauling around a huge bag full of glass. Ideal for photojournalism on the go.

Rough rugged, good old L lens construction has put up with its good share of rain and sand.
Great piece of glass...if it went down to f 2.8 I would fall in love!
