The 24-105 is my fastest sold lens, after only 6 months for the great 28-70 2.8L which is out of production, but superb!

- Heavy vignetting on a 5D at 24mm & 105mm, every picture needs correction, or you have to use the lens profiles in PS to correct it automatically.
- the bokeh was not so soft (rather like f2.8 for portraits, I do a lot of portraits)
- rather like less hunting, speed is always handy!

That's why I sold my last f4 lens, I try to have the lowest fixed apertures for my primes & zooms (f2.8) for more dreamy bokeh pictures in daylight or with evening lights.
It's a popular zoom due to the range, but I rather have less range and the other, more important, advantages.

So you're basically putting down this lens for the benefit of the OP because......?

BTW the 24-105 is a great lens. I use is most of the time when I'm walking around.

I just got mine a month ago,It is my first IS lens and I am impressed.
I was also looking at the 24-70 at the same time,I had one before but sold it because of lens creep made it unusable for me.nothings changed,still a bad lens.

It is used a lot. It's a nice focal range combination for a one lens lightweight carry.

I think you'll find this is a great standard lens for your T2i. I've been using mine on my XSi for over a year and I love it. The shop where I bought it (considerably more than $900) warned me that it might be too heavy to handle well on the Rebel but I find it better to have more weight in the lens than in the body.

The only drawback is that the shortest focal length is still a little long for the APC-C. For that reason I still carry around the kit EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS and I'll probably be going to something like the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM for my next lens.

90% use on any of my cameras, can't beat the walk-around factor!

So far I'm loving the 24-105 on my 50d. Just a question how's the 70-300 on a 5d thinking of upgrading my 50d.

Don't use it on my 5d, I use the 150-500.
I think I got a bad 70-300, though, it's just not as sharp as I would like it to be, make sure you try it before you buy.

it is a great lens. to me its the best walkaround lens. i have the same lens combo as you, the 35L and the 24-105L, and i love it. great choice.

Congrats, a beautiful lens. I used mine recently on my 50D to shoot some butterflies, and it worked very well (not ideal, but it was all I had along. I'll post some shots later in the appropriate forum.

I love the 24-105.
Nice range on crop or FF
IS
light weight
great IQ

I think I made the right decision upgrading too full frame someday so I think I will be set but that Zeiss 50 1.4 is calling me next.
