Fantastic Lens

I wish canon would make the same lens in f/2.8 or faster. I'd be the first in line to purchase such a lens

This is a fantastic lens that produces very sharp images. The autofocus is blazingly fast. I use this lens in just about all of my wedding photography except for the ceremony. Its very versatile and perfect for anticipation, formal and reception shots....

Unfortunately, its just not fast enough for low light conditions. However, it is still a fantastic lens when used in well lit conditions.

Fantastic Lens

First L series lens I have bought and I have zero regrets. Canon makes great stuff and this lens is no exception. The quality of the pictures on my XTi compared to the included lens are night and day - no matter what the lens, it is the talent of the...

Great sharpness, contrast, color. Lens has a fantastic usable range which covers most common walk-around picture taking. Build quality, autofocus, image stabilization are amazing.

Kinda pricey (but you get what you pay for) - Would be awesome if it had 'faster' glass - f2.8 would be nice.

Love this lens

Canon's sharpest glass to date. Perfect range for walk-around and portraits. This piece of glass will never leave my camera.

NONE!!!

Canon EF zoom lens - 24 mm - 105 mm

overall optical quality & IS make this a sweet L lens

Best image quality you can get from a zoom lens at this focal length, maybe the best in Canon's line (its MTF chart reads better than the 24-85 f/2.8). f/4 across the board is pretty fast, offers decent blur. IS acts like a handheld tripod ; I stopped...

f/4 is too samll, made it f2.8 will be better

Best walkaround lens, but expensive

If you never plan on going full frame, the image quality from the 17-85 IS is very good and it's wider and lighter. You could easily get that AND a telephoto zoom for the price of this lens. It's all about what best satisfies your need. As for me, I...

Glass is nothing short of stellar. High contrast, sharp images with no discernable distortion, very very low chromatic aberation and I seem to be getting better detail in dark areas, too.

It dwarfs the XTi. You'll need strong hands for this one (and to make use of the IS). Chances are, you'll need a new camera case.

i think this is a great lens if you know where it fails and don't need it for those uses.

Superior build quality

bowed perspective, fair at best sharpness fully wide open aperture

Second 24-105mm Lens Purchased

I opted for the 5DMII kit which included the 24-105mm lens with the 5DMII camera body. I alreday have one 24-105mm lens in my system and wanted a second one as a replacement for the old lens that I was sending in along with my old 5DMII camera body for...

Best all around lens ever!

If you are buying a Canon DSLR and want one lens to use every day, this is the lens. It's expensive, but it takes sharp clear pictures, focuses quickly, and is reasonably portable. You will really see the difference in your images from this versus...

Awesome Lens

One Great Lens! Tack sharp images. A good walk around lens. I really enjoy this lens. I use it on my 40D and 7D Its not to big or heavy but has a solid built feel. I like the f/4 through out the zoom range and the IS is another bonus. If you want L...

Solid performer

The 24-105mm IS lens is great quality piece of glass with a very useful zoom range. It is a joy to use for me as I like the feel of a relatively heavy, large lens and it balances beautifully on my 50D. Having said that it has a very useful range, I...

Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, smooth and solid operation
