I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

Those who photograph with full-frame cameras, or those who are planning to move to it in the near future, should consider purchasing this lens. There is a fantastic 17-55 f/2.8 IS lens available for people who are satisfied with the crop. The cropping process causes both 24-xx L-zooms to lose their wide-angle capabilities, which renders them unfit for "regular" use.
It is only reasonable to compare 24-105 to 24-70 because 24-70 is in the same general price range and class as 24-105. Because this is a method of a distinct class, it is not worthwhile to compare it to budget zooms like 28-135; as a result, the features that are given in the pros and drawbacks are indicated in relation to 24-70.
These reportage lenses are basically on the same level as one another. Even when comparing them head-to-head, it is difficult to differentiate the high-quality photographs that can be taken from each of them. Both lenses have their advantages and disadvantages.
The 24-105 is an excellent choice for use as a travel zoom lens in general. 24-105 is a good choice for situations in which you can only take one lens, which is why Canon is trying to sell it in a bundle with the 5D and the 5D Mark II. The presence of a stabilizer, particularly one comprising the interval 70-105, is of great assistance. Those who require a high aperture ratio have an easy decision to make: the 24-70 lens is the one to go for. Because a stabilizer is not a replacement for aperture and aperture is not a replacement for a stabilizer, it is essential that you comprehend your requirements and pick the appropriate accessory.

Pros

The universal reportage lens covers three quarters of the full range of focal lengths available to the typical amateur photographer. A useful optical stabilizer that can be utilized. Size and weight that are acceptable (in comparison to 24-70). Aperture remains constant, and the image is fairly sharp in the center even when shot at any focal length. Already at f/4, it provides sufficient sharpness across the whole image field at 24mm (and is substantially sharper than 24-70 at f/4). When compared to 24-70, there is no backlash in the enlarged trunk. Despite having features such as protection against dust and moisture and a dependable design, the lens of this professional camera just cannot be any other way given its price and its position in the market.

Cons

Notable barrel measuring 24 millimeters. The level of distortion is significantly higher compared to that of 24-70. Despite the fact that the word "Macro" is printed on the lens, the level of sharpness at close focusing distances is somewhat lacking. lens hood that is almost completely worthless and is supplied. Because it is worn on the trunk, the petal hood can only be effective at a thickness of 24 mm. When the lens is changed to telephoto mode, its effectiveness is nearly nonexistent; in fact, it does not even protect the front lens from being touched by fingers. The hood is effective on all FRs between 24-70, despite the fact that its size with the hood on causes people to flee in fear, which frequently prevents it from being used. Sharpness is not as good at 35-70 mm as it is at 24-70 mm.
