Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM

one of my favorite lenses.

55mm f/4, iso 2500, 1/50

You CANNOT do this!  I don't care about the 2500 ISO! I just drooled a ton! You owe me!



Lovely picture.

Bouchon in Napa, one of the best breakfasts I ever had, along with several glasses of the house red. Every time I look at this picture I want to go back.

Okay, I succeeded in confusing myself... I always liked my 24-105mm but I never loved my 24-105mm so I finally sold it.  Now I miss it.  Think I'll order another one... sigh...

I have been considering one of these to replace my Tamron 28-75 as well. Should I pickup a new copy or go for one of the good looking used ones on ebay? I would use it on a 5 and 7D.
I have the Canon 24-135 is usm that actually takes beautiful shots on my 5D but not as much the 7D...makes no sense to me.
Or should I just stick the with 24-135 since I already have it.

Thanks.

Personally I'd go for the 24-105mm L over the Tamron in a minute.  I've shot that lens and it never compared to my 24-105mm.  Have you tried AMFA on your 7D with your 24-135MM?  May make a difference. 

I'd go for the 24-105mm over the 24-135mm too.  I'd sell them both and pick up a new or almost new 24-105mm.  Personally I like new.  Sometimes there are some excellent almost new copies out there.  Always ask the seller for the date code though and only go for the newest.  When buying used, I always buy as new as I can get...

Good luck!
Oh btw, I've used the 24-105mm L on both my 5d Mk III and my 7d.  It performed flawlessly on both...

Thanks for the info Ken. I sometimes have a problem parting with items....like a mini pack rat lol.
Its odd my luck with lenses, my tamron is tack sharp and takes great pix on my 7d but on my 5d its a little off. On the 5d the pix froom the canon 28-135 are great but on my 7d a little off. Maybe it needs calibrated to my 7d but I havent gotten around to doing it. My tripod is broken atm and I dont think you can do that w/o one.
I do have the tamron 17-50 which is very nice on my 7d but wont work on the 5d as its for cropped cameras.

For me the 24-105mm love snuck up on me!  Hopefully you'll feel the love with your first set of images!  Congratulations on the purchase of both!  I'm sure you'll be quite pleased!

Great shots!

I agree too- I love this lens.  I recently got the 24-70 2.8II and love that one too!  Both have changed the way I think about shorter lenses.

Keep up the great shooting.

Really enjoyable.  Thanks for sharing! I love this lens as well.

Bought this lens based on the recommendations here.
