October 12: New Lens

San Diego, CA

When I bought my 10D 2 ½ years ago I added the Canon EF 28 -135mm IS USM lens which has been a real workhorse. However as I have experienced the stronger qualities of the “L” series I have become more picky about light and sharpness. So I was delighted when Canon came out with their new EF 24 -105mm 1:4 L IS USM Lens.

There are ***3 test shots here ***

Canon EOS 20D
1/4s f/5.6 at 40.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

I will be real interested to hear how you like this over time. Did you say they were also coming out with a 28-135L as well? I need a bit more zoom than 105 but the specs on this are wonderful.

Good for you Robin, Does it fell wide enough for indoors and small group shots?

A fine piece of glass, Robin! Will be interested in seeing more images from this lens.

Lens lust is probably some kind of psychological disorder. We should probably all seek therapy. I know of many lenses I "must have" but will regret buying. ;-) Professional-looking shot.

Wooww, a very nice lens, but now you need a FF Camera!:) I took some shots with the new 5D in our shop, if you don´t need 8fps this camera rocks fantastic!!
