- Great All-Purpose Lens
I purchased this lens to serve as my primary lens and have been very satisfied with its performance as such. It has a great focal length range. I believe this is why it excels as a general lens. The IS helps greatly when zoomed in, however it does not help as much for low-light situations. In general, I have not had nearly much success in low-light situations with this lens at least for people. I have a f/1.4 fixed lens that works much better in low light. I find that this lens works decently well for low-light nature shots though.

Unfortunately I find my shots taken at f/4.0 to be rather soft. I understand that most lenses do not perform as well at the low end of their aperture. So I try to keep it above f/5.6 unless I really need more light. However, zoomed in at f/4.0 does create great background blur.

If you want only one lens this lens is great. I keep it on my camera almost all the time. Unfortunately my wife finds it a little too heavy for carrying for long.

- I chose this over the 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens
This lens is one of the best general purpose, all-around lenses in Canon's lineup. In order of preference, here are the top 5 things that I love about this lens:
- sharp images
- very versatile range of focal lengths
- image stabilization
- constant f/4.0 aperture
- L lens build quality

Because of the quality glass that Canon puts into its L lens series, this lens takes some tack-sharp photos. The range of focal lengths is excellent for portraits, stills, some landscapes and architectural shots. The auto-focus is fast on all focal lengths. The image stabilization is huge -- it gives you up to 3 additional stops in aperture. This translates to action-stopping shutter speeds. The constant f/4.0 aperture means that you don't have to suffer a decrease in shutter speed as you zoom in on a subject, a problem with variable aperture zoom lenses. Although the f/4.0 is not as desirable as an f/2.8 for low-light situations, it is great in decent lighting. I have a Speedlite 580EX II, so the range of that flash works perfectly with this lens when the situation calls for a hot shoe flash. Finally, the build quality is top-notch. The auto-focus is quiet, the lens body is rugged, and the weather-seal is very effective.

I was debating between this lens and the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens. Although I would have loved the 24-70mm's constant f/2.8, I found the lack of IS and the loss of 35mm in focal length to be a huge compromise. With the 3-stop gain using the IS on the 24-105mm, I get back more than the 24-70mm's f/2.8. For bokeh purposes, the 8-blade aperture of the 24-105mm is still very good, although there's no question that a wider opening would provide even more blur. The only thing that would be able to pry this lens away from me as my favorite all-around lens is if Canon came out with a 24-105mm L IS lens with a constant f/2.8. But then that would be a huge lens, and might start getting in the way of effective everyday use. Right now, this lens is the perfect size for my general-purpose needs.

Overall, I am tremendously satisfied with this lens. I may eventually still get the 24-70mm f/2.8 L, but might wait to see if Canon introduces that with IS first.

- Great Lens
This is a great lens. My first L lens and I am sold. Great clairity. Now my standard lens.

- Nice lens
Awesome lens, delivered on time and in good condition. My only complaint is that the canon box is not sealed; so, anyone could handle it before it arrives.
I would like it even more if it was faster (2.8);but, it would surely be out of sight pricewise in that case.

- Canon L series IS lens
This lens bought for general use including many meetings.
Am able to work entirely without flash, even in darkened rooms during PowerPoint presentations. Superb --- allows extremely low shutter speeds.
