I have a 24-105 and I would recommend getting one on a crop sensor camera.

Haha! How did you know Im a miscer? Who are the other miscers on TP?

I cant help but feel a lot of amateurs and semi pros tend to rationalise to help justify the additional cost of the lens. Seriously, is corner sharpness or minimal CA that much of a huge deal to people who are photographing as a hobby? I wouldnt think so. As for printing photos, I have...

This is stemming from my other thread about my new 24-105mm lens. So a while back I had pretty much convinced myself that I would never splash out on an L series lens as CS4 and a little post processing knowledge can bring up the quality of photo to its full potential regardless of the lens...

Thanks for all the feedback guys. Very much appreciated. I have come to the conclusion that my expectations were too high for this lens. I was expecting spectacular IQ from the lens given all the great reviews. I am still of the opinion that its fairly standard IQ given its price tag. There...

Haha! That was just a test to see how many people were actually reading my posts. :p

Havent played with the micro adjuster as yet and to be honest, Im dont even know how to. Is there a link with some details? Yep, Im in central London and cheers for the offer. I may take you up on it some time in the future. Ill be back home in Oz for the next month or so, so it would have to...

Good point, but I would have to sift through hundreds of photos to find something with similar camera settings. I have sold the Tammy so unfortunately I cant even take photos with the same settings again. Even with the different settings, the photos look fairly similar in terms of IQ. I was...

50D. Im starting to think that forking out the extra premium for an L series really wasnt worth it.

None of these photos have been edited in anyway. Tamron 1. 2. 3. Canon 1. 2. 3.

I fear that maybe the issue. Some of the best shots Ive taken have been with my 18-55mm kit lens. The only noticeable improve I have seen is quicker and more accurate focusing. All shot in RAW. No pp on the images yet. Just comparing both lens 'out of the box' so to speak. I think this...

Im not really expecting the colour to change, but I was expecting to be a lot more vibrant which is what I had read in reviews. It seems somewhat dull, even though it was fairly sunny last night. Ill upload some pics in the next 10 mins or so.

I bought a 24-105 L series lens a few days ago and Ive finally had a chance to test it out yesterday. So going through the photos, Im somewhat disappointed at the IQ. That maybe because my expectations were too high, but Im not sure. It looks pretty much the same as my old Tamron 17-55 lens...

Great. Thanks very much guys. Very close to where I live as well.

I have to agree with this. You may not agree with it as a photographer, but Im sure your clients would appreicate some effort in post processing photos if they actually had any knowledge on the subject. Even 5 mins per photo could drastically improve its look on PS RAW editor. This is also...
