Canon 24-105mm L II series lens is a gift from the gods!

There's really nothing to complain about with this lens. Really. If you're a canon shooter this lens should be one of the most important lenses, due to it's versatility. The auto focus is a bit faster and accurate than it's predecessor, the version one. And there are sharper lenses. I've shot professionally for about 15 years now, when it comes to sharpness and how much there are a ton and a half of situational factors to figure before you shoot the subject. This lens has been plenty sharp for whatever subject I've pointed at! IF of course I set the focusing and DOF up properly pre shot. I love this lens! Definately my workhorse lens.

A traveller's gem

As with my original 35-105 FD lens, this replacement EF is fabulous. I just completed a trip around the Highlands of Scotland and this lens afforded me everything that I needed for creating a travel log

Your new favorite everyday lens

Great every day lens, I use it for almost anything. I can always count on getting most shots with this lens when I?m out and about. I?ve had it a couple weeks now and I fell in love instantly. The clarity is amazing and I?m getting some of the best photos I?ve ever gotten! Wonderful lens, not super open with an f4 but it does it?s job well every single time.

Good Lens for Street Photography

I use this lens for street photography because of the focal range. I own 10 other Canon L lenses. This one is not the sharpest that I own. That's my only complaint. I wish the lens was a little sharper. I thought maybe the lens shipped a little out of calibration. Nope, I tested it with a DataColor SptderCal. AF is fast and reliable. For an L lens, the weight is lighter than expected, which is nice.

Lightweight versatile go-to lens

A very versatile, lightweight lens with a wide range of shooting capability. The 24mm lock is a great feature. This lens replaces my 28-300mm zoom lens (on heavy side), as my everyday lens.

24-105 L lens

Great build and the photos are great. My only criticism is that it’s heavy! Paired with the 5D Mark IV it’s a lot to lug around.

Lens

This is second 24-105 I have purchased. First one is 5 years old, covered many, many miles. Fell from back pack on concrete, rolled down a hill, dropped on steel deck of whale tour boat, (twice) never let me down! Reason for replacing, getting "loose in the joints!" It's my-go to lens, don't want it to fail since I depend on it so much. Great lens, I sure got my money worth!! Wish they made it in 2.4

Best addition to my bag.

Excellent image quality. More range than my 17-40. Put on a filter from day one to protect the element.

Great Lens but

Great lens. Not as good as my primes or 70-200 2.8 and 100-400, but, decent. Some pictures are great, others not so much. Could be operator error, but, my other lens produce consistent excellent results. Switched from the 24-70 L4 for the additional reach. This lens has fewer sharp keepers than my others, but, it is a good outside good light lens.

Canon EF 24-105mm lens is the best for portrait photography

I just purchased this 24-105mm lens from Canon. I took it Burma (now called Myanmar) and got great images, both portraits and landscapes. I like the wide angle and medium range that this zoom offers. This was the new version of this lens and is well worth purchasing. Another thing that I like is the small size and weight.

My fav lens

Good for a basic zoom lens. Really worth for the money. I was searching for long time to get one basic zoom lens for a general photography as I am just starting to learn photography. So got this lens based on the reviews and this is really good.

A little better than the original

By mbb

I just got this to replace my 2006 24-105 MKI model. That one was like new since I took care of it, other than a little barrel creep when pointing down. I figured I would trade it in and try the new one. After some testing, I don't notice a huge difference. The MKII seems a little sharper overall. The IS seems much quieter, which is great especially when shooting video (but this is not an ideal video lens in the first place in my opinion). So that's a bonus. I don't notice the longer length ...

Serious Lens

By repixa

I did replace my 24-105 Mark 1 with new mark 2. The new one is tougher along with modern design. The focus and zoom rings are well placed and versatile. Image stabilization works excellent and much better than the previous version. Sharpness improved but the colors and contrast stay as well (somehow a bit lower contrast than its predecessor). It is longer and heavier than mark I, which is not very welcomed and takes bigger place in my bag. AF is speedy and dead on. I did a comparison with 24-...

For photographers seeking an all-encompassing lens that delivers exceptional performance across a variety of shooting scenarios, the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM stands as a paragon of versatility and optical excellence. This lens is the quintessential companion for capturing the world with precision and clarity, from expansive landscapes to intimate portraits.

Optical Mastery for Precision Imaging
The Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM lens is engineered with a sophisticated optical formula that includes four aspherical elements. These elements work in concert to minimize distortions and spherical aberrations, ensuring edge-to-edge sharpness and accurate subject rendering throughout the zoom range. The advanced Air Sphere Coating (ASC) applied to individual elements combats lens flare and ghosting, even when shooting in challenging lighting conditions.

Swift and Silent Autofocus Mechanism
Equipped with Canon's ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) and an internal focusing system, this lens delivers a fast, quiet, and precise autofocus experience. The full-time manual focus override allows photographers to make fine adjustments without switching modes, ensuring critical focus for every shot.

Stable Shooting, Even on the Move
The integrated four-stop-effective Image Stabilizer technology significantly reduces the appearance of camera shake, making handheld shooting more reliable. This feature is indispensable for capturing sharp images in low-light environments or when using slower shutter speeds.

Designed for Both Full-Frame and APS-C DSLRs
The Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM lens is compatible with both full-frame and APS-C sensor Canon EF-mount DSLRs. On APS-C cameras, it provides a 38.4-168mm equivalent focal length range, further extending its utility as a versatile zoom lens.

Consistent Illumination
A constant f/4 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range ensures consistent exposure and depth of field control, allowing photographers to maintain a uniform brightness as they compose their images.

Advanced Focusing with High-speed CPU
The lens's autofocus system is enhanced by a high-speed CPU and optimized focusing algorithms, which together enable rapid and near-silent autofocus performance. This feature is particularly beneficial for capturing fleeting moments or shooting in situations where discretion is paramount.

Superior Lens Composition
Comprising 17 elements in 12 groups, the lens's construction includes 4 glass-molded (GMo) aspherical lenses. This design contributes to the lens's high resolving power and its ability to produce images with stunning clarity and detail.

Elevate Your Bokeh Game
Photographers looking to create beautiful bokeh will appreciate the rounded ten-blade diaphragm of the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM lens. This design element allows for more aesthetically pleasing out-of-focus areas and enhances the visual impact of shallow depth of field photography.

Built for Every Condition
As a member of Canon's esteemed L-series, this lens is built to withstand the rigors of professional use. Its weather-resistant construction shields against dust and moisture, while fluorine coatings on the front and rear lens elements repel fingerprints and smudges, maintaining image clarity under all circumstances.

The Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM lens is not merely an optical instrument; it is a testament to Canon's unwavering dedication to quality, innovation, and the diverse needs of photographers around the globe. Whether you're capturing the subtle nuances of a portrait or the grandeur of a sweeping landscape, this lens is designed to deliver remarkable results time and time again.
