Pros: Very sharp, good stabilization, excellent dials and STM motor, price, weight

Cons: slightly plasticky, slightly affected by flare and backlight

Opinion: Excellent all-rounder, taken used by private practically untouched, splendid lens for its price, I read around that at an optical level it can be safely considered an L series, at 105 it is very sharp already at f5.6 thanks also to the good stabilization that allows you to shoot at slow times without therefore raising the iso, beautiful colors definitely CANON style, Fast and quiet AF motor. Lens that can be used from the portrait set to photojournalism / street and that in any case gives its best with natural light, I see it less in the studio with flash or continuous light and in the landscape where the wide angle side loses something in detail below f8. Excellent lens, used with a camera that holds the iso well like my mark III gives unexpected results Rating 9

Pros: Sharp, bright, fairly fast and very precise autofocus, precise and pleasant manual focusing, natural colors, among the most natural seen in my lenses. Excellent stabilization and aesthetically pleasing

Cons: a slight movement of the front piece, but does not affect the photographs

Opinion: An excellent lens, taken used and paid the right amount, it is giving me good satisfaction, it has no particular aberrations and makes a good impression on the machine, an excellent all-rounder .. Sometimes I go out with a backpack full of lenses and this one mounted on the EOS and in the end it stays there for the whole day, not letting you hear the changes in light and settings. Already at full aperture it is sufficiently sharp on the whole photo and tightening even a little gives the best.. I would definitely take it again, value for money , great.. And maybe it doesn't get any better.. They had suggested it to me among many and I am happy to have listened to the suggestion !

Pros: Compactness, weight, sharpness, stabilization, ultra-fast and ultra-quiet autofocus

Cons: Light play of the front element

Opinion: Finally I found the handyman! With 6D + 6D MkII for work I use the 35mm f/2, the 16-35 f/4 and the 24-70 f/4 but for a long time I wanted a light all-rounder to carry with me on non-demanding occasions. I had tried an "old" 28-135 f / 3.5-5.6 found used little but I was not at all satisfied, I saw every photo inaccurate, kneaded, with sharpness only in the center and not even always. Last week I saw the 24-105 3.5-5.6 STM used at 260 Euro including shipping from TuttoFoto and I did not miss it. And I am more than satisfied! A sharpness that I did not even expect, I do not say up to the extreme angles but almost, a very fast and silent autofocus, so much so that in the very first shots (using it with glasses and not seeing very well in the viewfinder) I thought it was defective because it seemed to me it did not move. And yes, the front element has a slight backlash, but it is a defect over which you can pass without worrying, because the qualities are many. The aperture only 5.6 from 70mm up? It is not a defect because we already know it from the start, if you want brighter lenses there are, but they cost much more and weigh and clutter much more. Highly recommended!

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.
