Review: Canon EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM

[Canon Rumors]

<p>DXOMark has completed their review of the EF 24-105 f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens.</p>
<p>From DXOMark</p>
<blockquote><p>Despite ranking behind the more expensive Sigma and Canon pro L competition, the new 24-105mm STM standard zoom offers respectable results across the board. But if you can afford to shell out an extra $300 for the $899 Sigma 24-105mm f/4, you’ll certainly benefit from better edge sharpness at the wider aperture settings, a faster fixed f/4 aperture when shooting at 105mm, and better light transmission, too.</p></blockquote>

... if you can afford to shell out an extra $300 for the $899 Sigma 24-105mm f/4, you’ll certainly benefit ...

Yeah DXO! IF!

If some extra 50% in MRSP don't matter.
If white box prices of the 24-105L don't matter and - most important -
If you can get a new Sigma 24 - 105/4.0.
They seem to be out of stock and it is discussed that they are discontinued. But that's just a rumor
