Pros: Image quality, zoom range, good colours, stabilizer, strong L-series version, sharpness, autofocus

Cons: "Only" F4

Opinion: It is in use as my standard zoom lense, very good working with APS-C and also FF. Best sharpness results with a aperture range between f5.6 and f8. The lense is my first choice for travel. In my opinion there must be more aperture possible than F4. My proposal for a new version of the lense would be F2.8 At the moment I don't see a better lense of Canon for this zoom range. Only the EF 24-70 2.8 L USM II is interesting, but it costs more than double of the price of the 24-105.

Pros: Focal length, construction. Versatility. Very inviting price to date

Cons: Zoom that loosens, very soft on focal lengths from 70 upwards, uncomfortable combined with an ML with adapter due to weight and imbalance.

Opinion: Quality all-rounder from Canon. Purchased as an all-rounder and mounted on an RP. The first impression was immediately the imbalance between body and lens but compensated by the excellent quality and beautiful colors given by this lens even if used for portraits with focal lengths higher than 70 it returned soft and not incisive images but still very beautiful with a very pleasant blur. Combined with an R6mk2 the quality is improved. Over time the zoom tends to loosen and no longer allowed me to take long exposure shots on a tripod with an upward or downward angle. It is certainly an optic that gives its best combined with a reflex. Recommended with adapter for ML if your budget does not allow for a relative RF optics.

Pros: versatility

Cons: a bit soft at TA

Opinion: I bought it as a "forklift" because my 24-70 2.8 saw fit to hang me at the beginning of August and with imminent work to do. Of course he does not have the magic of his little brother, but he still passed the sports hall test well and saved me a job that otherwise I would not have been able to do. Now that I have fixed the 24-70 I keep it as a handyman lens for when I go for walks in the city or picnics with friends and I still want to take some "easy" photos. Also because it is light, versatile and with a good focal range, perfect in short, not to load your shoulders with too much weight when you go on a trip. A bit soft at TA, the photos seem almost "kneaded". But overall widely promoted

Pros: All-rounder, sharpness, colors, AF, construction.

Cons: Barrel does not lock.

Opinion: My first L series! The greater range of focal lengths covered and the price difference compared to the 24-70 made me choose it. It is an incredible all-rounder, a real guarantee when you want to play it safe and take home the service, it also has excellent colors, good bokeh, is sharp and has excellent stabilization; If they have sold them to wagons there will be a reason. On FF at 24mm it has a slight distortion but nothing dramatic, absolutely recoverable. It is an f4, so a bit dark, it does not have the magic of 24-70 but covers many more focal lengths, a feature that makes it irreplaceable. For me it remains a great companion of adventures! Rated 9 full.

Pros: Hotbed, used price, colors, quality, constant diaphragm, robustness

Cons: Slight quality decay at f4, slight distortion at 24mm, I prefer zooms that do not lengthen / shorten.

Opinion: After a few months of use I share my opinions on this zoom. Year of construction 2015. Purchased to have a zoom on the center focal lengths that I use most in my tourist trips. The opinions on the forum are conflicting but I must say I am very satisfied. You must use from 5.6 up and (better) avoid the 24mm still usable. I really liked the color rendering. In my tourist trips I combine it with 16-35 and 70-200 all at f4. Mllto satisfied for the excellent functioning, really comfortable. I put link to my comparison between the 3 zooms. https://www.juzaphoto.com/topic2.php?l=it&t=4074177
