I have to say, I'll never "love" this lens, but I sure do end up using it a lot. "Going on a trip, taking the 5D3 and...the 24-105...". (but I was really wishing I had my Rokinon 35 with me for this shot, wasn't expecting the opportunity to shoot stars so didn't pack it)
Beautiful Benny!Bennymiata said:I love my 24-105 too.
It's on the camera (5D3) 90% of the time and probably the most versatile lens I own.
I've done entire weddings using just this lens both for stills and movies and I'm still inlove with the colour and contrast it gives.
Here's some shots of the Sydney Harbour Bridge during Sydney's Vivid Festival to show how good it is even at night.
Nice!niteclicks said:I have been using mine for some macro work. Works pretty good on the 40D (not so much on the 5D3 but I am working on that). ;D
What a cool car Dr. Mike!drmikeinpdx said:Went to the hot rod show today and used the 24-105 as a walking around lens. I added a lot vignetting in Lightroom.
This was at F/4.5, 55mm, ISO 100, 1/320 using the 5D3.
You CANNOT do this! I don't care about the 2500 ISO! I just drooled a ton! You owe me!skullyspice said:one of my favorite lenses.

Lovely picture.
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.wsgroves said: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.
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!wsgroves said:Ok I just picked one up. You guys sold me - along with a 100mm macro. Nice shots everyone.
