Product: Canon EF 24-105mm f4L IS USM Lens
This lens is fabulously versatile and rarely leaves my 5D MKII. Wide enough for almost everything, and extremly sharp at all focal lengths and apertures. Not too heavy and well balanced, solid build and fluid motion whilst zooming, resonably quick and very sharp focus. I have owned two examples of this and would rate it higher if it were not for a known issue with the iris decoder failing on a huge number of these. Both examples have had to have this part replaced at a cost of around £200 each. I own four L series lenses and would expect a better standard from Canon on its flagship premium branded products. Whilst having the second part fitted, the service centre recons Canon has now upgraded the offending part and this should also be the case in all new models.

Possibly the sharpest lens I own, doubles as a great landscape lens when I only want to carry a simple setup. For travelling it is an invaluable tool, the range unbeatable on my 5D.

Always sharp and clean unless you own technique lets you down
The IS is a 3-stop version and is very useful indeed.
Some might want wider than the 24mm but this is such a good lens you find yourself talking a step backwards and not caring.
Expense but worth the money.
Very highly recommended.
