I have subsequently spoken with at least a half dozen other people who own early samples of this lens ( Canon stopped shipping them once the problem was discovered, and has recalled inventory from dealers), and none have seen a flare problem either.īut then on Nov 6, Bob Kulonwas one of the members of my Brickworks Workshopin Toronto, and he was using the 24-105mm on the shoot. The curious thing though is that three other members of my China expedition were also using the 24-105mm, and none of us had experienced this flare problem. You can find out more about this recall notice on the Canon USA web site. I took a couple of thousand frames with it, both on the 5D and the 1Ds MKII, and I have nothing but good things to say about it.īut, as soon as I returned from China in late October I read that Canon USA had announced that there was a problem with early production lenses, and that these early lenses were being recalled for repair. I purchased a 24-105mm for myself as soon as it became available, and took it with me on a two week shoot in China later that month. Two early purchasers that write for this site published reviews of the lens – one by Mark Segaland the other by Bill Caulfield-Browne. I had tested a pre-production sample and found it to be not only excellent optically but also a most convenient and usable lens, especially for street shooting. In early October ’05 Canon started shipping the EF 24-105mm f/4L ISlens.
