The Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM replaces a lens that is probably the most popular “L” series ever, but it has scarcely gotten any attention and has received relatively few reviews.  Why?  Photographer Dustin Abbott believes he knows why after spending some time with the lens.  Get his thoughts on why this lens continues to be very functional and well balanced, but as an upgrade isn’t going to generate much excitement.  See his thoughts and some comparisons to the Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 G2 lens in this video review:

I’m including a few photos of the lens itself here along with a gallery of images take with the 24-105L II on a Canon 6D Mark II, 5D Mark IV, EOS 80D, and a Sony a6500.  This lens will be one of the kit lens options for several of these cameras, so expect to see a number of these on the market.  I’ve included Ebay links below, as these lenses are durable and will often end up on the used market as well.
