Cheers Paul.

And a very nice port if I may say so.

If you have a 2.8 already than this is probably a very good buy.

I borrowed one a few weeks ago after damaging my Sigma 24-70 F2.8, and I was disappointed with the low lighting results.

However as a general lens, it is great and I have one on my shopping list!!!
So which bit do I look through???

Probably my most used lens, no complaints with it for what it is intended for.

Its my primary landscape lens [on full frame] and is perfect for that for everything except scenes involving movement where I want to shoot wide as I tend to go wide with panoramas.

It has been dropped, rained on, frozen and its still going strong.

I dont use it for model photography - full frame in the studio, the sharpest, and relatively cheap is the 70 - 200 mm F4L. For all outdoor work and natural light, I use fast primes. I have very little use for zooms otherwise.

But for studio work, its probably the right focal length range for a crop frame camera

Many thanks for all the feedback Guys, I really appreciate it.

I just need feedback from "she who must be obeyed" as to whether I can buy it, lol.

The 24-105 is a good every day lens for a working photographer,but just watch out for barrel distortion at the wide end. Easily fixable but i also use the 24-70 f2.8 to avoid that problem with straight lines.
The 24-105 is a great lens in terms of what you get for your money.

Well, ditto to a lot of the above with the 24-105, I use mine with an APSC camera, I also have a 16-35 and a 70-200, but the 24-105 stays on most of the time, but to be quite frank i've never regretted buying it and you'd probably have to kill me to get it off me.

Mike.

Have to agree with everyone above, is a fantastic lens for the money and pretty much all of my portfolio has been shot with it on a 7D. Only really change it for sports and when I am working in low/natural light and need a wider aperture or narrower depth of field. Good luck with convincing she who must be obeyed...
