Sorry, just not so. Since the hood, on the 24-105L, moves with the zooming of the lens, the hood can only be designed to be most effective at the widest focal range or else it will cause vingetting there if tele flare control was effective.

have you used both lenses?

i have. i experienced no extraordinary flaring with either lens and, therefore, much prefer the smaller hood.

i could always put a lampshade on the 24-105 and claim it's a superior design but that does not make it so ;) .

If you are using the lens primarily for portrait work, the 24-70 would probably get the nod.

Why?

No, and I don't care to. And I certainty don't need to in order to state something that is geometricly true

All I can say is "good". But that has nothing to do with the fact that the 24-105L is more prone to flair (at the tele end) with it's hood than the 24-70L is with it's hood

Hah? Size has nothing to do with it, it's all about the angle of coverage.

Please excuse my unsteady drawing but that's the "Golden Years" for you. The length of hood protection is probably near the same at the wide end on both lenses, but, as the lens receeds into the 24-70L's hood (when going tele) it picks up additional effective hood length that the 24-105L (or for that mater, any other lens I know of) does not.

I would have to agree with ed rader on this hood discussion. jjonsalt, while you are most likely correct when it comes to the theory of light and lenses ed rader is simply saying that flare has not been a problem with the 24-105 in his experience. So why would a lens need to be equipped with a hood twice the size of its current one if that current one is sufficient in real world applications. It does seem that if both are eliminating flare equally as well as each other in practice surely the smaller size has its advantages.

Okay maybe this is a little better, since own both of these POS.

Extended and retracted pix of both the 24-70 and 24-105

Note, when the 24-70 is extended it's at 24, when the 24-105 is extended it is at 105.
