Pros: -Since this lens is part of the "L" Series collection, it is very well built, and feels solid. -light. holding a 5D in one hand and zooming with the other is no problem. -constant F4 aperture is nice. Shutter speed will remain the same from 24-105mm. -fantastic picture quality. Again if you have a 5D (or 1Ds), the image quality is amazing. Highly recommended for full frame cameras. -Image Stabilization (IS). A must for hand held shots. I regularly shoot a 1/4 second shutter speeds at 105mm. -weather, dust and moisture resistant. You can shoot in the rain with this lens. I've take shots at -15 during the winter with no problems. -very fast focus in good light. Cons: -very expensive compared to the Canon 28-135mm (but if you are buying this lens as part of kit with the Canon 5D Mark II, you get a huge discount). -105mm is a good length but it would be nice if Canon made the focal length was extended a bit (135 or 150mm), especially since this lens is almost 3 times the price of the 28-135mm! PS If you are trying to decide between this lens and the 24-70 f2.8 zoom, I recommend the 24-105mm. Unless you mostly shoot in low light, the extra 35mm of reach you get with the 24-105 is very handy. Plus it weighs a lot less and has IS!

I traded my L 28-80 zoom that I got with the 10D for this model last year and have loved its agility and quality. When all my kit was stolen in Barcelona in April, there was no question about getting the same lens again. It came this time in the kit with the 5D MkII and has the same build quality and sharpness as the original. I also use it as the standard lens for my web video program and find it excellent for HD video recording and to be bright enough even with modelling lights before firing up the studio lighting. Highly recommended
I got this lens with my 5D mkII when I bought it. This lens gives excellent quality shots and enlargements. Very high percentage of useable results. Zoom range is about as good as you are going to get for weddings/family events etc. Well built although I prefer zoom lenses that do not actually extend when zoomed. Anyway have had this lens for over a year and no issues. Great walk around lens and great combination with the 5DmkII....
