Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
The lens did however have a rocky start, with early models suffering from an
internal flare problem
, forcing returns and delaying wider distribution. These

exhibited no problems in this regard.
Useful wide to short telephoto range; Effective anti-shake IS capability; Fast and quiet USM focusing motor; Polariser-friendly internal focusing
Relatively expensive (at list price; Corners slightly soft at telephoto end; 24-70 f/2.8L has better build and focusing; 17-40mm f/4L an affordable alternative
