Product Description

Product Description The L-series is Canon's flagship professional lens range, designed to include outstanding image performance, ultimate operability and weather resistance. The EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM offers a lightweight alternative to the renowned EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM. offers the highest possible optical quality with no change in aperture over the full focal range of the lens. This allows photographers to set exposure at the widest aperture and zoom all the way through to 105mm without having to vary the shutter speed. Image Stabilizer (IS) dramatically reduces image blur caused by camera shake. Gyro sensors detect unwanted vibrations, triggering the corresponding movement of a correcting lens group perpendicular to the optical axis. This alters the light path, returning the image to its correct position on the sensor or film plane. The 3 stop advantage means that photographers normally shooting a 105mm lens handheld at 1/125 sec can obtain a shake free result with a shutter speed as low as 1/15 sec, for vastly extended options in low light conditions. The ring-type USM motor found in the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM employs ultra-sonic frequency vibrations to drive auto focus with unrivalled speed and near-silent operation. A powerful CPU and improved AF algorithm contribute to speed performance. Good holding torque stops the lens with precision and accuracy, the instant it arrives at the correct focus point and without overshoot. Photographers can choose manual focus instantly and at any time simply by moving the manual focus ring without first having to switch out of auto focus mode. Circular aperture producing attractive background defocus Inner focusing, ring USM and new AF algorithms for fast and quiet autofocusing Manual focusing enabled even during AF mode (full-time mechanical manual focus) Only environmentally friendly lead-free glass used in lens construction Filter diameter 77 mm / Dimensions (dia x len)

Customer Reviews

I received this lens from my wife for Christmas (with the help of our son Steve). From out of the box and onto my T2i, I was amazed with the quality of the photos I was able to take with it. It's not too heavy and feels great on the camera. As with all Canon products, I am completely satisfied and impressed with this lens.

I can't believe how long it took for me to decide which lens to buy. I am a serious amateur and just upgraded my DSLR body to canon t3i. I was looking for a lens for general purpose. There are many professional reviews about the canon L series general purpose lenses and many recommended the 24-70 for the f2.8. Also there is the much cheaper sigma lens which is wider and has f2.8 as well.
I ended up getting the 24-105 f4 and am really happy about my decision. Here are the main reasons -
1. it is so much lighter than the 24-70 lens. I walked around with my friend's 24-70 lens for 10 minutes and I found it really really painful after a while. Not a good idea unless you are very strong. Also, if I really want the extra stop for indoor pictures, I'll get my 50mm prime 1.4 or 1.2 (well, even 1.8 will work and it's much cheaper and lighter).
2. the IS helps a lot with video taking - try to search for canon 24-105 video on youtube and you will find example clips with and without IS. This is definitely a plus besides how IS can compensate the f4.
3. It's around the same price as the EF-S 18-55 f2.8 but it's EF and it's a L lens which means if you upgrade your body to full frame later, you can keep the lens.
4. Compare with the Sigma option, the used gear market is more friendly for canon lenses. Especially if the reason for selling your lens is because you are upgrading your camera to full frame. Why not just get an EF lens in the first place?
5. Free lens hood and nice build!
6. I was afraid that 24mm for a crop sensor camera will not be wide enough. But then I've decided to buy a wide angle lens to pair with this lens. Look, even if you get the 17-55 lens, 17mm is still not dramatically wide for a crop sensor camera. There's always the 10-20mm sigma lens or Tokina 11-16mm lens with f2.8 (!) If you are serious about photography or just about your gear enough to drop 1k on a lens, I'm sure you'll appreciate the value of a real wide angle lens.
Lastly, I am not too happy with the white retail box from Amazon. I was sure that means the white box that's from Canon instead of a random while box with a sticker on it. I believe I paid more for buying from Amazon (maybe 20 bucks more) cause I thought that's the original box. If I knew about this, I'd probably go with other venders and pay for less (a rookie mistake I guess).
