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: Construction, war autofocus, good stabilization, colors and yield, great versatility, price now in the used.

Cons: sharpness not quite at the top but acceptable, limited for aperture.

Opinion: A Canon classic, a lens often sold in kits from the first 5D to the 5D Mark III, which has satisfied many photographers around the world, tried for a month, beautiful construction, practically complete in everything despite its twenty years of age, compact and with a very well balanced weight even when it extends to the maximum, excellent stabilization even if of the first generation, very precise and fast autofocus, which even in the dark can act very well, bright colors and shades, especially in 24mm landscapes, probably its successor in terms of sharpness and global yield will have a great extra gear, but for what it currently costs in the used if you want a stabilized all-rounder with 350 or at most 400 euros you can take home a lens practically still legendary, highly recommended.

Pros: Use, quality, af, comfort, construction and weight.

Cons: A little soft at full aperture compared to the 24-70 canon.

Opinion: In my opinion it is a very good lens, I see many negative reviews but if we take it for what was born, you can not complain. It has a focal range ranging from wide angle to telephoto, a good aperture, a good build quality, the yield in terms of quality is not at the levels of the upper L series but cmq good, plus it has a stabilizer that is not great but cmq helps ... without forgetting weights and dimensions certainly better than the 24-70 2.8. I am a happy owner, I use it mainly for photojournalistic services and it is of an extraordinary convenience ... a body, a lens, a flash at the belt (if needed) and a small fixed in the pocket (in case it was needed) and I am calm. As for the quality of the yield, I will have been lucky but I certainly can not complain ... and when I need the top I leave it at home and use the 24-70 2.8. Highly recommended!

Pros: Construction, AF, stabilization, tropicalization, zoom ring and focus

Cons: weight, sharpness

Opinion: I would have expected more sharpness from a Canon L series. However, it was the all-rounder lens par excellence that has accompanied me, to date, during my career as a photographer. Would recommend... do not buy it for more than 550 euros. The weight, despite having included it among the "cons", in fact, having used it with camera bodies equipped with battery grip, has never been an actual problem. Even today, in 2022, to conclude, I consider it a very valid machine, capable of churning out quality rows. In my opinion, usable up to 3200 ISO.

Pros: General sharpness, construction, AF, IS

Cons: The position of the zoom ring is a bit uncomfortable

Opinion: My first L Series in support. A wonderful handyman with whom I learned the first rudiments of composition. How many shots and how many memories related to this lens. Very robust, IS effective but a bit noisy. Excellent f/4 on all focal lengths. It is now an "old" lens that is just a few euros away in the second-hand market. I really recommend it to those who want to venture into the photographic world by buying at modest sums an excellent all-rounder lens with which to have fun and also take away some satisfaction. Goodbye my friend and thank you for everything, I separate with sadness but I was sorry to keep it "thrown" in the drawer for unused.
