Re: Canon EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM
I agree - super versatile lens, I love the range, sharpness, contrast and IS is useful too. Most of the photos from my Flickr account are taken with 5D and either 24-105/4 or 50/1.4 - this combo is all I need if I want to travel light... Well, relatively light

Re: Canon EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM
Great shots guys. I really love the idea of this lens, and it was the first L lens i've bought.
However it's really soft to focus on both my 5dmk2 and 7d. If i set the same shot up with my 24-105L, 24-70L, 28-300L, 50L, it is noticeably softer. I've tried getting it calibrated and micro adjusted but it's not fixed it.
Such a shame. great range, IS, great build quality and judging by all of your pics, exceptional when in the right hands.

I noticed the same softness with the 24-105 that I just bought and ultimately I decided to return it and only use prime lens for now until a new zoom update comes out maybe like the 24-70 2.8 II (hopefully with IS)!

I shoot Weddings with my 24-105 on my 5D mark 2 and find the lens focusing very inconsistent. Images taken in a sequene with the same subject, composition and focusing point, some are sharp and some arn't. Generally by saying sharp I mean usable, I wouldn't say this is a sharp lens. For a while I just thought I hadn't got a great copy, but when a fiend of mine also got a 5D and 24-105 he has had the exact same problems, both of our lens's seam to experiance more softness at the long end. Was thinking of trading up for a 24-70 with the hope it would be better? Is there anymore of you guys with a similar experiance with this lens? as it has been for me unfortunately a bit disapointing.

I use a 24-105 on a 5d1 body, no issues here. 24-105's are usually very sharp lenses: Took this one 2 days ago,
Taken at F4 fully open, so it could be sharper if stopped lower. No sharpening (PP) was done to this pic, but had to crop it up aggressively or it would not load to the site. :-[

Re: Canon EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM
I HAVE THIS LENS AND IS THE WORST CANON LENS I HAVE EVER HAD, IN TERMS OF QUALITY... IN THE LAST 30 YEARS.
NO OTHER HAD BE BROKEN IN MY HANDS ONLY BECAUSE OF "ZOOM IN/OUT" MOVEMENTS.
IN 2 YEARS OF PROFESIONAL WORK IT WILL BE BROKEN, DUE TO IT'S INTERNAL PLASTIC, DELICATE MECANICAL AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS, IMAGE STABILIZER AND DIAFRAGM WILL START CRAZY FUCTIONING AND CANON DO NOT ADMIT THEY HAVE CREATED A FAILURE DESIGN WITHIN THIS LENS... THEN YOU MIGHT HAVE TO PAY THE BILL OVER 350$.
HEY GUYS, DO NOT BUY THIS LENS!!!!!! NO PROFANITY

Re: Canon EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM
Your argument would be a lot more persuasive without profanity/capital letters and properly thought out sentences.
There is no faulty design here; posting a redacted receipt of the repair note may convince some that you at least got a bad copy, but unless you're playing basketball with the lens itself (as the ball), your statements appear to be completely made up.

Re: Canon EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM
I agree - if you only have å, ä and ö it truly is weird... But if you, like me, live in Sweden it's not weird at all! Remember that "foreign" is from your horizon...
I have a (or is it an?) 17-85 today and am (or is it are?) about to buy a 24-105 any day now. Will it I get a dramatic improvement of pic quality, or is it more about the feeling of having an L-lens?
And is it worth waiting for an upgraded version (now, that is a question for a rumour forum, right?)?
Best foreign and/or domestic regards,
Mange

Re: Canon EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM
This is getting a bit out of hand haha
My only issues are with a bit of soft focussing on my lens and one of my staff's.
The build quality, is etc is great, and clearly by the pictures here, there are some great copies out there.
I just know from my circle of photographers in Melbourne, we have had a lot of issues with this lens.
I have a dozen l glass lenses and 3 bodies, it's the only one I have an issue with.
But again I'm sure I just got a bad copy. I might try and get Camera Clinic to micro adjust it better.
Instead I find myself having the 24-70 or 70-200 on and it frustrates me because the 24-105 is a perfect range!

You should consider having Canon calibrate your lens for you. I had a very soft copy of the 24-70L until Canon serviced it. They performed lens alignment and focal plane adjustments. For a reasonable price and some down time, I received my 24-70 back from Canon Canada and was amazed at how sharp my lens is now.
I also own the 24-105L... an amazingly sharp copy, no extra servicing was required. It's possible for you to have the same level of performance from your copy. Just give Canon Service a try.
