Finally got my 24-105 back from the shop (the AF unit failed a few weeks ago). Luckily they accepted the slightly dodgy Singaporean sales receipt I had for it and did the work under warranty.

After replacing the AF/USM and IS unit, the re-calibrated and lubricated it.

Feels so nice to have my baby back again, but feels SO slow in comparision to my 50mm f/1.4!

Had to test it there in the shop...

Hmm pity about the motion blur, unfortunately IS doesn't help with subject movement;)

It wasn't subject movment as such, it was camera shake brought on by childish giggling..!

Well, from the title, it looks like they lopped a millimeter off the low end. Maybe because of the dodgy receipt.
