In short, yes there is a diference in sharpness but one must look good and long. Is it worth the $600.00 differene? That depends on your chemistry. How fanaic are you about tack sharpness? I feel, that the difference should e few hundred but 600.00? I just got this lens (24-105 4L IS USM) and compared it to my Canon 28-135 IS USM.

This may not be a popular thing to say, but most of the QC issues are probably due to people who don't know what they are doing (read: UE). Don't mean to be harsh, but you hear this whole QC stuff all the time. Just pick a lens, the 24-70 gets a fair share of them as well. Craig +1

I've had two copies of the 24-105 - one was very poor away from the centre, the other wasn't. If anything needs to be upgraded its Canon’s quality control.

I have had three magazine covers and countless other photos published in magazines shot with this lens purchased in late 2005. I have also had a 24x36 print made and ALL are razor sharp! The current lens is on my 5D 95% of the time and it's fantastic. It doesn't need to be upgraded. This is silly!

If they do have one coming it would have been better to launch the new lens and 5dII together though. Not going to upgrade until later this year so a better 24-105 would be great for me.

Mainly because its newer, sharper and better to work with. Also thinking that if the New 24 - 70 would come. I could get some value for selling the 24 - 105. This would suck! But than again, its an awesome lens. Jeez, i bought the 24 – 105 instead of the 24 -70. Mainly because its newer, sharper and better to work with. Also thinking that if the New 24 – 70 would come.

There was no CR rating in this rumor so I guess we'll have to believe that it was outside the current scale. May be [CR -2]?

Why is there no MTF-diagram at the middle of the zooms. Why don't we get lines at 60 lines per mm? Any idea???
