IIRC the IS in the 24-105 compensates about 3 F-stops worth of camera shake. One of the bad things with the 24-70 is that it flares like a mofo, seriously. I'm thinking about getting the 24-105 after my next few purchases, though - after either the 50/1.2L and/or 17-40/4L. I'm an L-whore. :( And I'm loving it. <3 (But my wallet doesn't) Adun: True that.

The two lenses are really close to each other and both have advantages and disadvantages and it makes you wonder why couldn't Canon make a 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM. But at least with the 24-105mm I could compensate for the higher f-stop with the use of IS to some extent (although technically that shouldn't be the case). Still in the future I may look at acquiring the 24-70mm or something similar for use for portrait photography. alafista: I could’ve bought another dollfie with my Ruddbux, but I think a new lens was in order.

After my last trip to Japan in 2006, I went and exchanged a few of my crappier lenses for a better one, where I had the dilemma of choosing between the two - I did settle for the 24-70/2.8L. Mostly, because a friend of mine already has the 24-105 (switch every now and then) and I have a 70-200/2.8. Can't say I'd be disappointed with the 24-70 one though. The lack of a longer zoom isn't too bad, since the 24-70 range is good enough, comparing with the one extra F-stop it offers. Whichever lens I'd have gotten, they'd be both probably irreplaceable. I carry the 24-70 with me everywhere I take my camera with me -- which is pretty much everywhere. :-D Only bad thing about the 24-70 when compared to the 24-105 what I come to think of is the weight. The 24-70 weighs a bit more than the 105 one. And also, it feels strange that the zooming is reversed in the 24-70, meaning the lens is shortest when zoomed to 70mm, and longest when zoomed out to 24mm. I'd say that for a general purpose lens like this, if you have Canon, go with Canon, and for the more special ones, it's not so critical - my experience with non-Canon lenses on Canon bodies regarding to autofocus performance have made me a Canon whore, the USM in Canon's lenses, especially L-series lenses, is just so much win. <3 Regarding to a poster above, doing a comparison between the kit lens and the 24-105 would be a bit redundant, since the kit lens is quite awful in terms of picture quality (which you don't notice until you start trying out other lenses).

I think before to say an opinion I would need to read some photography manuals because I still cant recognize the difference between both lenses (I mean not at a technical level you speak off.) Anyway, congratz with the new lens. ^^ <em>phossil's last blog post..<a href='http://www.animoe.net/2009/04/i-want-to-work-in-google.html' rel="nofollow">I want to work in Google</a></em> Im still a newbie with camera stuff and lenses.
