Amazon.com: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras - Gray Market: Camera & Photo
Says there's 13 in stock. If you're in the (gray) market for one...


Thanks! The shot of the pellets is all the way open at f/4. I'm pretty pleased with it at that stop, even though as a rule of thumb, either end of the lens' range is not the sharpest.
I thought about the 24-70 f/2.8 L as well, but a couple of factors swayed me towards the lens I ordered.
IS. Enough said.
I wanted L glass sharpness for the kind of work I'm doing in studio and that's typically being shot at f/8-11. I love my EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Standard Lens, but I sometimes find that with the 7D's crop factor, I can't get far away enough from my subjects for head to toe shots within the confines of my working spaces.
Finally, I liked the idea that my new lens, minus a little bit of focal length, is a good replacement for the EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens that came with my kit. I'm trying not to drag a ton of stuff around with me.

That said, anyone want to buy a EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Standard Zoom Lens? Gently used since the beginning of the year. Includes lens hood.

OK answered my last post. It serves me right for not reading all the way through. I contemplated this lens, but went with the 24-70 2.8L for the extra aperture. I miss the extra 35mm your lens has but I just have to whip out the 20-200 2.8L when I need to (not very convenient all the time).

Anyway Mr LunaZ -- great lens you got there.
