Fs Brand New Canon Ef 24-105 F/4l Is Lens

Postby Akwoo » Mon Jul 28, 2008 8:36 pm

* Standard zoom lens - 24-105mm focal length, fast f/4 aperture
* Super UD glass lens and two types of aspherical elements effectively correct aberration
* Image Stabilizer gives equivalent effect of a shutter speed three stops faster during hand-held shooting
* Optimised lens coating to minimise ghosting and flare
* High dust and moisture resistance for use in harsh environments
* Closest focus distance of just 45cm at all zoom focal lengths
* Circular aperture producing attractive background defocus
* Inner focusing, ring USM and new AF algorithms for fast and quiet autofocusing
* Manual focusing enabled even during AF mode (full-time mechanical manual focus)
* Only environmentally friendly lead-free glass used in lens construction

This one is brand new so I haven't used it. Just arrived yesterday.

But I have used a 24-105f/4L IS on my 400D before.
It wents great with a 400D, A found the range very useful, allowing me to easily zoom in on objects if needed. The IS is a big help, if your a little shakey. The 24mm might be a little long due the 1.6x crop body.
The photos are well worth it in the end. Very sharp.

No such truth, used a 24-105L with a 300D, 350D, 400D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 5D (all my previous cameras at some point in time :lol: ) and all focus fine.

Might be individual cameras not calibrated correctly and causing backfocusing/forward-focusing issues.

He he, I have the 24-70 2.8 L series on my 40D 8)

I think the info is a bit confused... the L series lenses will work on ALL Canon bodies (inc the 400D), however, the cheap Canon lenses WILL NOT work on the full frame sensor camera's (5D). That's the only problems I've heard of and I work with pro photogs nearly every day.

For anyone with a 400D, this lens is about 500x times better than the plastic junk that came on it, there really is no comparison. And $1200 is pretty cheap for a pro series lens. Do it Senator... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Bump for Akwoo...

Price one of these lenses from a retailer... $1469 listed at Photo Continental. Best price I can get 'mates rates' is still $1269....

The L series lenses really are very, very good :D

It's about right for a brand new L-series lens.
