Canon 24-105mm Review - One Of The Most Popular Canon L Series Lenses For Good Reason

No Canon 24-105mm review would be complete without first mentioning the reasons why this lens has become one of the most popular lenses going around.

Relatively low price

Canon

As far as Canon L series lenses go, this one is competitively priced which means you get what you pay for, if not more.

Versatile

Many have dubbed the 24-105mm a walkabout lens, meaning you can just put it on your camera and photograph whatever takes your fancy without any danger of the lens being wide enough or long enough.

This is especially true on a 1.6x crop body where the 105mm becomes a telephoto length 168mm.

Furthermore, this particular lens utilizes a popular filter size (77mm) which can also be fitted to a number of other high quality lenses, meaning you do not have to spend more money buying expensive filters for each lens you own.

High image quality and image stabilization

As with all L Series lenses, high image quality is a given and this is helped in part by image stabilization technology built into the lens which enables you to hand hold shots you would otherwise have to use a tripod for.

This greatly reduces the effects of camera shake which make your images blurry and unusable.

So is there anything that this Canon 24-105mm review has missed out on, particularly negative points?

There are a few small things. The biggest of which is the maximum aperture of f/4. For people who like to shoot in low light a lot or at weddings this lens may be a bit too slow.
