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!

Pros: Sharp already to TA, closing of a stop even better, economical both new and used, excellent focal excursion on FF, IS, block excursion, solid construction apart....

Cons: Game of the tube of the front (although it seems not to invalidate the optical yield) and the blessed lens hood that purchases however compatible to a few euros (the original on Amazon is now under 30 euros but is overpaid the same)

Opinion: I agree with what has already been stated with those who preceded me that enhance their praises and flaws (few fortunately). While accustomed to the sharp and contrasty photos of the Tamron USD SP 24-70 f/2.8 USD that I have now for a few years and I appreciated his notes optical quality, but that sometimes on the tele side I considered a short Pelino, I bought this cheap little gem , even if I thought it could be quite dark, to be accompanied by what I possess for light outputs with only one optic and at most a flash. At the first mounting on both 6d and 80d already after the first shots I realized it was the perfect optics I was looking for, although with APS-c it often takes up either the Samyang 8mm or the Canon 17-40 because of the multiplication factor that starts the lower focal by just over 35m M, but on the other hand I have a tele from 168mm that does not hurt. Sharp enough not to make you regret to leave at home more demanding optics for weight and footprint, discreet in position 24mm provided you do not mount the hood, this handyman covers the overwhelming need of the focal length that most use on FF. The minimum focusing distance of only 40 cm allows you to get close to the subject to be photographed (does not replace the 100mm macro, but is quite comfortable the same), the STM engine is virtually noiseless, as well as the stabilizer. The only drawback is the frontal a little dancer (frequent problem in non-series lenses as well as the emblazoned EFS 17-55 f/2.8 IS) to which I am not accustomed, but otherwise absolutely nothing to recriminate in relation to the price and optical quality of the lens. Highly recommended, rated 9.5

Pros: Price, optical quality, lightness

Cons: under construction

Opinion: Unbeatable value for a handyman, and I said almost everything. The files are indistinguishable from those of the Big Brother, at 24mm it is perhaps better than the Big Brother L and it is also a brighter pelino. The construction is not even remotely comparable to the L series, we warn games on the extended part to 105mm. You buy new at 300 euros and used to just over 200 and it's not really the case to be picky. Recommended to all those who use little/very little this type of zoom, for an intensive professional use better to buy a L series.

Pros: Cost, general yield, versatility.

Cons: Inner tube with "game"

Opinion: I own both the 24-105 STM and the 24-70/4 L is and in my opinion the main differences are precisely in the montage: the lens L has no "games" of any kind while in the STM the part that escapes to 105mm "dances" a little. Nothing worrying but the feeling is that of an imperfect assembly or simply less accurate. Also missing the gasket on the bayonet and, as noted by others, the lens hood should be bought apart... From the optical point of view, however, nothing to say, especially on the FF of 6d. In my way of seeing the shots are indistinguishable compared to those obtained with more emblazoned optics. Very fast focus and virtually noise-free stabilizer.

Pros: Quality appropriate to the cost, when without faults.

Cons: White dot inside the back lens

Opinion: I always thought that the canon does not know how to do the 24-105 and I talk about all, old and new, I always preferred the Sigma 24-105 4.0 Art to Canon, high speech are the 24-70 canon unrivaled. I purchased the 24-105 STM for my daughter, Novo in store in Lugano at €300 now I am with on white dot in the rear lens, although irrelevant in the images, the thing is very annoying.

Pros: Sharpness, excursion, lightness, stabilization, price

Cons: Dimensions, materials, lens hood (absent)

Opinion: Bought it for use on the 5D3, I chose it after comparing it with the brother F/4 first version. I also tried the 24-70 2.8 LL. In the end I chose it because compared to the 24-105 L the result of the shot is practically indistinguishable. The 24-70 for my tastes and habits is too heavy though resoous and expensive. The low brightness to tele length for now has not given me problems. The materials are not L but they don't even seem too weak, the rings rotate without games. Canon as always for the lenses do not L does not put in the lens hood that I bought apart (not original).

Pros: Price, lightness, versatility.

Cons: Construction kinda weak, the movement of the front optical group did not give me feeling of reliability. Made at the edges on FF, especially at short focal lengths. Lens hood to buy aside.

Opinion: As I summed up between the pros and cons, it didn't convince me. I immediately changed it with the 24-70 F4L, which has less focal but optically-based excursion on FF, I use it on 5dmarkiv, and as overall construction is decidedly superior. Although for the videos the 24-70 is not perfect, as it has the problem of focal variation in the focus steps from near to far. For photos This is not a problem.

Pros: Price, sharpness, lightness, stabilization and precision of fire

Cons: Lens hood not provided and as always if they do pay well

Opinion: I took this optics as everything do, I was thrilled immediately, I have other optics including the Canon EF 24-70mm F/4 L IS USM which causes the weight I often left at home, with the purchase of this optics I sold the 24 70 and I am not repented , just got out I bought the Canon EF 24-105mm F/4 L IS (definitely inferior). Excellent yield from 20 mm to 50 mm at full aperture I have to say that even beyond I found no flaws. Compared to the price I think this optics is really good. Having regard to the extension of the optics, the LOCK button that locks in the minimum position (24 mm) the objective. Recommended. Below in the photos taken there are many images of various kinds so I use it regularly.

Pros: Price, sharpness, stabilizer

Cons: Hood not supplied as standard

Opinion: I state, the construction quality is not at the L series level, I personally use it on the 5d MkIII and on the 750D and I must say that I was satisfied both for the sharpness and for the chromatic balance, the hood is not supplied as standard you have to buy it apart (oregano Canon), good resistance to flare and low weight. A "handyman" who acts very well in almost all situations. A few drops of rain do not create problems, but with heavy rain it should be used covered, as it is absent the tropicalization.

Pros: Weight, cost, optical quality, colors, stabilizer, vividness, contrast resistance in critical situations, precision af, parasitic control.

Cons: In tele is f5.6, exceptional optical performance except at 105mm, however very good, hood not supplied as standard.

Opinion: I realized I was wrong to sell it used. I bought it back. Very good to zoom in to my fixed lenses, and not disfigure. rnIt is never wrong the fireworks.rnSolo that does not seem to be a mistreated, the plastics are precise and accurate, but an optics L or art is visibly more reinforced, to the detriment of weight. But if used with care, it should not have signs of failure, at least I do not think so. Without speaking about technical specifications, the returned photos are of excellent quality and transmit clarity.

Pros: Excellent price-quality ratio. Perfectly made especially for 24-35 focal lengths at full opening. Excellent stabilizer, manageability,

Cons: For now, no one even knew what I was doing.

Opinion: I was about to buy a 24-70 f4L, then, having found this 24-105 stm at a great price (including kits including original hood) I decided to take it, maybe with the possibility of eventually reselling it if it had not been as I thought . I have to say, however, that I was really surprised. The yield at the most wide angle focuses (which then are the ones that interested me more) is definitely great and even better than 24-105 usm L especially at the extreme corners. Distortion and chromatic aberration are also a better game. . Construction, of course, is not like a L series but still good, apart from some shortcomings I knew, such as the absence of the metric and other minorities. The autofocus with my 6D works fine and does not make me regret my beloved 24-85 famous for its maneuverability and autofocus bombs.rnThat I say sincerely.

Pros: Very good in all areas. Resistance exemplary flare.

Cons: It has no real weaknesses. Perhaps the construction that not being from L series casts some doubt on the duty to heavy usage.

Opinion: An excellent sharpness throughout the zoom, distortion control and in any case in accordance with a zoom lens, always visible vignetting at 24 mm, chromatic aberrations limited, modest flare. The real limitation is that it is only a f5.6 and often is better close at f8 to get the maximum quality throughout the campo.rnConfrontato with clicks of a 24-105 f4.0 L USM I had in testing time ago, the two lenses are very similar. What most differentiates it from the L series it is the diaphragm less the focal more. The sharpness to 24 mm is higher in the STM, but I doubt that the L series had some centering problem, I do not know. In short, a zoom that does everything well (you see that it is a recent project) that costs half the 24-105 f4 L with an image quality comparable, which can be used easily even in aperture fully open if the subject is in the center, which is stabilized, quiet, lightweight, can be used in backlight, rarely it does see the purple fringing.rnSe seeking comfortZoom is you can not spend large sums this does not disappoint. Certainly not the WOW effect of a 'fixed lens, but not so much for the resolution (it was delicious but still lower than the very high frequencies compared to the best fixed): it opens and all that this comporta.rnrn forgot, the focus STM splits for precision hair. I was surprised, I thought it was less than USM for accuracy, but here is perfect. We see that even the STM systems are not all uguali.rn Latest photos of my gallery are made with this goal in high resolution.

Pros: Perfect in all focal lengths.

Cons: hood not included.

Opinion: I have this lens for a little over a month, I used it in different situations and has not missed a focus. For me it is terrific. Tried to take pictures in low light and I was nicely surprised. Lightweight and costs half of the L series, for me to have been money well spent. Great crisp handyman and well balanced color, smooth zoom ring, precise autofocus and fast, making almost silent fire for photos, movies do not do them, and I can not say niente.rn

Pros: Price

Cons: .nitidezza stabilizer.

Opinion: If you can take the L series .I was disappointed I thought in more detail later stabilization is not the best. And a handyman unpretentious not suitable for photos of superiore.va level and good for those who at the beginning but after you feel the need for something serious then it takes the original lens hood because cinesate up to 50mm covering the landscape and the picture you see 2 beautiful fins.

Pros: Yield at all focal lengths, terrific stabilizer, focal length "from portrait to landscape full" price, making kelp imperceptible

Cons: hood from aquistare separately, ring of focus without limit and distance scale ..

Opinion: all in all for the price I was stunned ... excellent yield in the landscape ... then has a stabilizer that is atomic! rnlo'm utilizzand of weighing 6d to change it then .. but I have no idea to keep it forever ... the very rnaccuso problem of making fucoco with the ring that has no limit .. and the vernier of meters .. anyway a whole to economic ... that income has only the price in my opinion ... I recommend

Pros: optimal excursion. Quiet. Ring-making very soft fire. Light.

Cons: Little sharpness at TA. high distortion. Hood not included (important).

Opinion: I am using this view as much as possible, before changing it :) It will be inevitable given that the sharpness in my opinion, is not enough. All in all, the lens is great. Purchased in kit with Canon 6D. Well built (for what it's worth) and the price-performance ratio is excellent. The lack of the lens hood in the package, however, is unforgivable. Recommended only if you are interested in purchasing a kit.

Pros: Not too heavy, well built, MAF swift, efficient stabilizer, optical performance more than satisfactory and almost equal to the "big brother" L series

Cons: As does his duty very well, nothing you did not already know before you buy

Opinion: Bought for use "battle", especially in the mountains, even under the weight slightly lower than the L series; It had been offered the counterpart Sigma, which seems to be excellent, but I preferred to stay at home Canon, price and lightness. The optical performance is respectable, comparable to the L series, the careful construction and good quality materials, the original in my possession does not seem to be afflicted with particular problems: in a word, recommended.

Pros: great handyman sharp and very versatile good colors

Cons: not a the series, the lens hood is not included in the sale and to buy separately

Opinion: a good compromise and a quality price is not the number but it stands out for its capacity, an optical senpre to keep on hand. performs very well even in low light, the sharpness and very good, function well .stm .you bring home good results between wide angle and portraits, I recommend it to those who do not want to lay astonishing figures.

Pros: Good sharpness and excellent portability. No flare (when used with lens hood). Distortion at 24mm acceptable. Excellent colors. Right price.

Cons: Construction. No hood.

Opinion: I am using this lens on 6d. I've used for several years on the 24-105L 5dmkIII. I would say that, apart from the construction, the two lenses are equivalent. The distortion at 24mm little one, however, is lower than that of his older brother. Keep in mind also that my copy of 24-105L is really good (I had 3). If you do not need tropicalization absolutely recommended.
