I was really dissatisfied with the results of the first pictures I shot with this lens because, even with the aperture wide open, the picture quality was poor. After doing some research (reading articles and reviews, trying it out on a target, in the street, and in the studio), I learned that the minimum usable aperture for crop-factor cameras is f/5.6. When I eventually upgraded to a full-frame camera, I no longer had this issue, and my lens quickly became sharp over the whole zoom range. While the 24-105 performs admirably in bright conditions, it struggles to focus in dim lighting. The lens requires a strategy and the skill to employ its powers, after which the outcome will be uniform. All images will be masterpieces since the letter L is inscribed on the lens and a red stripe is visible; nonetheless, this is, first and foremost, a tool that you need to learn how to utilize. Overall, I'm satisfied with the colors and clarity, and any issues I encounter are easily fixed in post-processing software like Lightroom or Photoshop. The grip is nice, the optical stabilizer is effective, and the camera's weight doesn't bother me. Comparing 24-105 to 24-70, you can see that 24-105 has a flatter pattern and less vivid colors. The lens is well worth the money in terms of its functionality and affordability, and it won't be collecting dust on anyone's shelf.
