Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 IS II USM Lens Review

Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 IS II USM Verdict

The Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 IS II USM is a pleasure to use, is reliable and is capable of some very fine results. It is not perfect, but, as always, knowing what the design parameters are helps us to see whether or not those imperfections fit in with our requirements as photographers. We have here a well made, solid performer with excellent central sharpness, low flare, pleasant bokeh and a focal length range that is extremely versatile. The edges are not as sharp, although are actually very good at wider to middle apertures until we get to the very longest setting.

So, a tad on the pricey side, but a rewarding lens that could be a very useful travelling companion.
