Canon EF 24-105 mm lens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canon EF 24-105MM F/4L IS USM is a standard zoom lens for Canon's EF lens mount. The lens is often compared to the other L series zoom of comparable range, the Canon EF 24-70mm F/2.8 USM, losing 1 full stop but gaining IS in return. Some early production models of the lens had a flare problem (reportedly the first 10,000 batch) and Canon had offered to repair them for free. It is unlikely that you will encounter this problem as the lens was available in the market near the end of 2005 (October 2005 onwards). It also has rubber gaskets for moisture and dust protection, although this feature can only be utilized fully if you also use a weather resistant camera body.
On a 1.6x APS camera body, this lens has focal length equals to 38mm - 168mm, a very useful range as it covers most normal to medium telephoto needs.
