A great general purpose lens in the L series pro shooter range, the EF 24-105mm f4 IS USM lens delivers a quality build and a versatile focal range for the professional photographer. This is a take anywhere lens that will get you out of most jams, as it has a good general purpose focal range.
Armed with image stabiliser technology that can steady the camera up to three stops the EF 24-105mm f4 l IS USM is equipped with one Super UD glass element and three aspherical lenses that assist in reducing distortion and minimises ghosting and image flare.
The Ring USM provides quick silent AF and shooters can also opt for manual focus.
The dust and moisture resistant construction make this an ideal lens for the shooter on the go – though a additional UV filter is required for full water resistance...
Good: Adaptable for most shooting situations – this is workhorse of a lens able to shoot everything from wide angle to telephoto with ease. The USM ring allows for silent efficient focus.
Bad: There is some image distortion when opened up to wide angles.
