The first copy of this lens had issues with auto-focus, and I returned it. Then I got another copy from Amazon and it works PERFECT. This is definitely not a L lens, but it's perfect for video shooters, because 1) it has STM 2) it has IS. Enough said.

I bought this lens a few months ago and have since used it for pretty much everything. Nightclub photography. Astrophotography. Landscapes. You name it. this lens have excelled at it all.

The comparatively big EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 STM IS has a pretty good build quality - not quite L class but not quite on the usual kit lens level either. The lens body is made of high quality plastics based on a metal mount.

The EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens is the first Canon EF standard zoom lens for full-frame sensor cameras to include a lead screw-type stepping motor (STM) for smooth and quiet AF and tracking while shooting movies or still images.

Excellent lens , and fantastic service from John Lewis

I use this for beautiful shots for my YouTube tech channel. It is a well built and great piece of glass. I use it with a Canon 80D and this is my goto lens.

I use a Canon 5D Mk IV camera. This lens is a lightweight version of the L series lens of the same focal length range. It is also slightly smaller and much quieter when focusing, which the benefit of the STM technology.

The 24-105mm zoom range is popular with photographers because it can cover a wide range of subject types and situations so we thought it would be useful to look at a one of the new versions of the original EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, which was released just over a decade ago to complement Canon's first...

This lens is not to be confused with the 24 -105 f/4 'L' lens, which costs about twice as much. The STM lens has a smaller aperture at the longer focal length (f/5.6 compared with f/4 for the 'L' lens) which makes it not so good for action photography where a fast shutter speed is required.

I bought this because I wanted a lens in this range and couldn't afford the L lens. I've been thrilled with it. Focus is quick and accurate. Images are sharp and crisp. It's now got about 10,000 shots on it and it's still as responsive and crisp as it was the first day.

Great image quality; fast focus; reasonable price

Some CA above about 90mm but it's minor enough that you have to go looking for it, as a rule; I've only noticed it on an item that had black and white checks, and one side of the black checks had small purple fringing; I didn't notice it until I was looking at the image full size on my computer
