Versatile Canon Lens with lots of features
This is an excellent lens that I did a lot of research on. Brand new, full price, it's roughly twice as much as what it was listed for here.
The description said:
"MINT Canon 24-105mm 1 : 4 L USM Lens + Case + Cleaner
The Lens is in overall Excellent condition with some slight signs of use. Includes Lens carrying protective bag and Cleaner!
No dust or debris. Shows very slight sign of use but everything works 100%."
What it DIDN'T say is that there is a hairline scratch on the outer surface of the lens, in the upper right quadrant, about 3/8" of an inch long. When I first saw it I was disappointed, but thought I'd give it a try. I've field-tested it on several dozen photos and don't see any evidence that it's affecting the photos, but it would have been nice to have that indicated on the description.Read full review

Not my greatest Canon L Lens
Early testing shows it is not very sharp at near infinity and seriously and consistently front focuses. I am loath to attempt to fix the front focus problem by micro-adjusting so I will probably end up sending it to Canon for calibrationRead full review

Fine lens
Great focal length. 28-105mm; covers Street / Holiday / portrait / Landscape and one can even zoom in to a degree. The image quality is good enough to zoom in more in edit. I had to reduce the file size for eBay upload, hence just the one :)Read full review

Excellent Value For All That You Get
This lens has been a great value. Fixed aperture throughout the full range. L series glass! Excellent range either for a full frame camera or a crop sensor. This copy has worked flawlessly with both my 5D classic and my SL3.Read full review

Sharp image, versatile range
The 24-105 focal length covers a wide range of applications and allowed me to replace tow older kit lenses. The autofocus is quick and sharp, and the Canon L series has a good reputation for quality construction.Read full review

Great all purpose lens
I shoot wildlife primarily,but when not doing that this lens is on my camera. Great walk around lens and landscape lens. Excellent lens for the money. If looking for an indoor lens I would go with f 2.8 as this lens doesn’t seem to perform great indoor with low light setting without flash. But would definitely recommend, 24-105mm is a great lens.Read full review

Does the job well.
A good choice for a 24-105mm focal length. Not the sharpest lens in the bag, but the best focal length for much of what I shoot. Weight becomes an issue; this lens is heavy, but not as heavy as carrying 3 prime lenses with the same focal reach. Read full review

Big difference in quality over kit lens.
I am using this lens with a Canon T5i. I am relatively new to digital slr photography and a friend recommended that I purchase this lens. I did some research and bought it. The results are worth it, without saying anything I started to hear comments from friends about how good the pictures were. I am going to take the credit for that and not tell them about the lens.
It is expensive but worth it if you are planning on improving your picture taking skills or just want better photographs.Read full review

Best lens for everyday use
Simply put, this lens is top notch for everyday use. The zoom length is right where you need it for great close ups while still giving you a decent wide view. Everyone should have one of these in their kit!Read full review

Fantastic Lens
The Canon 24-105mm L IS USM is one of the best lens' I have ever owned.Very sharp and crisp. Slightly heavier than the apsc lens' I have but well worth the trade off. You will not be disappointed. Great lens!Read full review

Versatile lens that is excellent quality!
Canon makes good lenses! I really love this 24-105mm f/4 lens. The internal stablization is an excellent feature. This lens seems slightly softer (less sharp) than other Canon "L" lenses that I've used. That's not necessarily good or bad––just something to take into account if you are considering purchasing this lens.
These are super durable lenses and last for many years (I had one for many years, gave to a friend and now own a second one), so buying one used is often a great way to save some $$ and still get an amazing lens with many years of life left. Just make sure you purchase from a reputable seller!
If I was to mention one complaint about this lens is that the zoom extension is really loose. Meaning that if you extend the zoom out to 105mm and tilt the lens so it is pointing up, gravity causes the lense to zoom back out to 24mm. And similarly, if I sling the camera over my shoulder, it slowly zooms in until it is fully extended at 105mm. I think this is partly due to heavy, high-quality glass. But still, I wish it stayed put and was stiff enough not to be affected by gravity. Having owned two of these lenses, I can say that the newer the lens, the less of a problem it is. It seems to "loosen" up over time.Read full review
