I class myself as an enthusiast and this is my first L series lens. I couldn't understand why people were willing to pay hundreds of ￡s for L series lenses after all my kit lens on my750d produces some very good photos.

I can only imagine that SLR Gear was unlucky enough to get THREE faulty copies of this lens. Mine (used on a full frame 1-Ds ii) is almost as sharp in the corners as in the centre, even at full aperture, and does not show the terrible corner performance of the SLR gear tests.

Fairly light; practical range of focal lengths; excellent IQ; Image stabilisation; Macro mode

None really

"The Canon 24-70/4 L IS lens is an excellent lens by just about any standard. It's main (minor) failing is that it is not quite as good as the Canon 24-70/2.8 L II. By any other standard it is a great lens.

As of now, very good value for money! Basicly same image quality as 24_70 f2.8 (from f4) smaller lighter weather dwaling. I LOVE this lens! Macro mode is very usable.

Ive been looking for the perfect street lens for a while. Recenlty bought a canon 6d and added the 24-105mm. Wow blown away -= wouldnt be the same on my old 60d as the 6d is full frame. Thanks Cameras Direct. As always a great experience.

My first L series lens and I couldn't be happier. It provides sharp, nice and contrasty images with accurate autofocus. I had originally got the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 but wasn't happy with the autofocus or its performance compared to my other Canon zooms.

Easy to use; Build quality

I bought this lens as a replacement for my 24-105 walkabout lens and I am very pleased to have one that is more compact,very sharp and capable of close focusing.Colour rendition is excellent (better than 24-105) and I do not find it heavy or difficult to use and I have very small hands.Its just the...

Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Simple Controls

Love this lens. Very sharp. Perfect MM range for walk around camera. I however am taking a lot of indoor sports which this lens is just a bit to slow for. On a 5D Makr III at ISO 2000 and speed of 350. It is still to dark. Can brighten post, but you get noise either way.
