Pros: Extreme sharpness, low weight, very good construction level

Cons: Coma, not really small size, only f/5.6 to 105 mm

Opinion: Taken very recently (May 2021) after reading all the possible reviews, I needed an all-in-one lens to alternate with my fixed optics to avoid carrying a 6/8 kg ballast each time, as well as having to change the lenses themselves too frequently, perhaps losing "the fleeting moment" for not having mounted the right optics at that time. I would like to point out that I use a Canon EOS 6D and am a reviewer of cameras and lenses, having worked for several years for industry magazines; this work gave me the chance to really try many optics, both original and third-party Canons. The EF24-105 impressed me with the optical yield, which even exceeded my expectations. In the center it is indistinguishable (with my reflex) from sacred monsters such as the Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8 L USM, the Sigma 50 mm Art f/1.4 and the excellent Canon 28 mm f/2.8 IS USM, at their respective focal points. Only at the extreme edge you can see a small difference from those listed, especially at 24/28 mm, but just close a diaphragm or two to recover and have from f5.6 to f/8 an excellent sharpness to all focal points. Perfectly correct chromatic aberration in the room by shooting in JPEG, the same for vignetting. Only a slight cushion distortion of pins is visible at the longer focals, but with a program like PTlens you can automatically correct it as the profile is present. And of course also at the wide-angle focal points... I didn't find that described phenomenon of the barrel game, maybe over time Canon corrected the flaw. The only note is the very evident coma, especially on the shorter focal points and a brightness at 105 mm of only f/5.6. However, given the price, you couldn't honestly ask for more. I highly recommend it!

Pros: All for what it costs.

Cons: Slight "game" of the barrel.

Opinion: Taken used, but kept as new by a Juzaforum user, it turned out to be a surprising lens for price/performance ratio (it's worth everything it costs even taken new). I use it with great satisfaction on the 6DII. I honestly did not expect such uniformity of yield and sharpness to all diaphragms and focals, most likely A perfect copy will have happened to me. In landscape I find it only slightly lower as yield at 16-35 f/4L, which is all to say for a kit lens. Automatic MAF very fast, without hesitation and absolutely silent, therefore perfect for those who make videos. The only adjective that perfectly describes this lens is "amazing"." Vote 9, but only for the slight "game" of the barrel, an indication of an "economic" construction, but that does not affect its general yield in the slightest. I highly recommend it to those who, like me, own a FF reflex with a sensor not particularly demanding as the 6D and 6DII are.

Pros: price, weight, optical quality, af, stabilizer, zoom block

Cons: size, front element game

Opinion: I recently took this lens, after several months of "study" to have a everything do with excellent optical qualities, but at the same time easily transportable to the neck or in hand for a long time. The lens is sharp to all the focal points, already from the whole opening and from the angle to the corner (which over time has made it known), the price at which it is located is low, although lately with little more you can find a good specimen of 24-105 L first series (net of its flaws...). The autofocus is fast, quiet and precise (without having to perform miscellaneous calibrations for f/b focus), the stabilizer is very effective. The main reason why I chose this lens to the other alternatives (f4 constants, or even some universal f2.8) is the weight, the nearest competitor was the 24-70/4 that would not have offered me superior optical qualities, if not 2/3 of stop more at 70mm, but 1/3 less at 24mm and 35mm less side canvases, all at a cost more than double (justifiable, if you need the peculiarities that a series L offers). Among the cons I put the dimensions, because anyway "could be more compact" (yes, but then maybe you sacrifice the optical qualities...). Lastly, the game of the frontal element. Others before me pointed out this flaw, but inside of me I thought "ok, it will be something practically imperceptible, on a lens of economic invoice is normal...". In fact, the game is noticeable, walking with the optics in hand, the simple vibrations of the walk you hear the noise due to internal games (it is not the stabilizer, as in some sigma...). In practice it is nothing serious and moving the front element with the hand while shooting, even at full aperture, the quality of the image is not affected. Let's say this flaw would be important if it were an L-series... For the (carefree) use I will make of it, it is the best you could want! Promoted with flying colours!

Pros: (today 27-02-2020 is located at 319euro online), stabilizer, yield

Cons: "bright" but depends on what it is used and if it is needed, lampshade not included, plastics lower than the L series but depends on how it is treated

Opinion: bought used at RCE at 300 euros with 2 years warranty I did not find impressive differences with the big brother L series indeed.... it is a lens "very constant in performance and yield even at the edge of the photo. both wide-angle and with canvases from 3.5 to 5.6 the sharpness is not amazing but it is VERY constant, imperceptible differences. It does give the best of itself to f8 objectively, and to f16 begins to "fall" but always maintaining the abundant sufficiency. If you need a great everything do, light, cheap, precise is a lens that I would buy back without problems. Of course if you need tropicalization brightness and an extra point of professionalism then better the L series but after 18 years of profession and various 24-105 L tried I can say with certainty that no mortal can recognize the differences, and my emotions looking at the shots are similar.

Pros: price, sharpness, AF, stabilization, lightness, compactness

Cons: none for the price!

Opinion: It costs less than an APSC entry level, but it's a 4.5x zoom lens per full frame... it is dark, of course, but it is largely compensated by the fact that it is always clear, with every focal point and every diaphragm. The distortions do not interest me because they are correctable in posts, and disappear in the face of the extreme convenience of the object being purchased. If we add a precise and silent AF, an always effective stabilizer and weights and clutter all in all (for a real all-rounder zoom lens for FF) reduced, the vote can only be 10: the construction, see above, is the daughter of the price, and it has been seen a lot of pegg me in lenses of much other price range and optical quality. Indispensable to enter the FF world without fainting!
