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. 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. Some early production models of the lens had a flare problem (reportedly the first 10,000 batch) and Canon offered to repair them for free.

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.
