Canon 24-105mm F4 L lens
-
Hello All,
I was wondering if many of you owned/used the Canon 24-105mm F4 L lens and if so what are your opinions on it as a lens. It is a lens I am in the process of buying….I have had one on order forever (or so it seems) and I would be interested to see what others think of the lens.
MarieJust got one last week. I haven’t had much time to experiment but I went down to a drama rehearsal last night and the IS works brilliantly and it is very sharp.
I got one along with the eos and it’s a brilliant all-round lens. Only negative is the barrel distortion at the wide end – not really a problem for me.
Thanks for your feedback :)
Danny where did you get yours from (if you dont mind me asking) as I know there was a stock problem for awhile which seems to be resolved now except for my order :)
MarieI got it from Technik Direckt in Germany. It was out of stock when I ordered too but I got it within 10 days.
Hi Marie
They come sometimes as a package with the 5d and is called the wedding package,the lens itself is superb does what it says on the tin.With this focal length it makes a nice portrait lens especially for full bodys. Got mine from jessopss,although paid through the nose at the time it has come down in price since.
BenKomplett have it on their site. https://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=321631
Thanks All,
Banjo it is with Komplett that I have it ordered and it has been on order for ages….dont believe that 14day estimate as it is not the case certainly at the moment anyway! :)
MarieBen I would love to get it attached to a 5D but I just cant manage that financially at the moment :) It is on the list of things I want though!
MarieMarie,
I got one with the 1Ds MkII a few weeks back and I’m really happy with it. I got it from Calumet, Belfast and it arrived overnight.Hey Danny,
What are Technik Direckt like as a company, I have no experience of them but the price is good. Did you lens come signed for for delivery and in good order?
Many Thanks,
MarieHi Gerry,
Ok I think I have found my place to purchase via Calumet, Belfast…did you order online or by phone?
I am so sick of waiting for Komplett.

MarieHave you tried http://www.imaging-one.de ? They’re selling it for ?999.00 (plus ?25.00 shipping to Ireland within 2-5 days) or http://www.ac-foto.de (same price but more expensive shipping costs).
I’ve ordered from http://www.technikdirekt.de in the past and have had no problems with them.
Sorry to hear that MarieC. I hope I don’t run into the same grief when I buy my first lens (Sigma DC 3,5-5,6/18-125 C/AF, Lens for Canon EOSs) from them.
Banjo I think part of the problem was a manufacturing delay caused in stock everywhere and I guess komplett would not be a huge seller of lenses so may be far down the line when it comes to getting the new batches of stock. So as long as the lens you are ordering is in stock generally you should be fine :)
I am going to order from Calumet, Belfast (thank you Gerry) as I spoke to them on the phone today and I like the idea of it just popping down to me from Belfast rather than winging its way from Germany and the prices are close enough for my liking.
Many Thanks for all your replies and suggestions….I am just really looking forward to it arriving at last!
Marie
