Placed 8^th in the challenge. Gardens by the Bay looking towards the Marina Bay Sands Hotel Resort and the downtown financial district.

Unfortunately, it is a fairly common occurrence for this lens. I've read about this issue several times in other forums.

Placed 21^st in the challenge. Three individuals having a good time on the Turbo Drop at Ocean Park, Hong Kong.

I lived in Hong Kong for 3 years and bought most of my gear there, mostly in Mong Kok. Prices in Hong Kong are for the most part, the best in the world and there's no sales tax! There are places...

Labrador is a huge place and there is no mention of where you will be spending your two weeks. I am assuming that at least part of the trip will be spent along the coast where the icebergs can be...

Yes, these samples are better focused!

I also see something missing in the test shot of the bottles as well as the other photos tested above it. They are not as sharp as they could be. It may be because the photo was taken:i) with the...

I've had the Sigma 12-24 Type II for about 6 months. It is definitely not as sharp as my Canon lenses but it is my go to lens when I need a super ultra wide lens when space is limited while...

Placed 20^th in the challenge. Photo taken at the Canadian Forces Base Borden Airshow and Museum about one hour north of Toronto.

I used to live in Singapore and used to use one of these dry cabinets. I set the humidity control to 45% and never had a problem with my equipment. I've since moved back to North America and wanted...

Placed 93^rd in the challenge.

I would strongly suggest getting the Canon EF-S 17-55 f/2.8. I bought this lens for my 7D and it was my go-to workhorse lens for most of the time that I owned the 7D. If you plan to sell your 60D...

I love the 100-400 too. It's a great lens. Here's a moon shot that I got with this lens combined with a 1.4x teleconverter:Canon 100-400L with Kenko 1.4x teleconverter. I also got this shot of a...

I've got one too and couldn't agree more. It's a keeper!

You may wish to consider, "Canon EOS 5D Mark III Digital Field Guide" by Charlotte K. Lawrie. I've read her field guides before and they are easy to read and quite comprehensive.

I didn't realize but my photo example of the river boat was taken at 24mm... I just took a look at the original EXIF. I thought I had taken it at 12mm.... sorry about that. Regardless, the 'lost...

Is this problem associated with a specific date code or does it apply to every 24-105 lens ever manufactured?

I too own both the Canon 17-40 and Sigma 12-24.  I had the Canon for about 2 years and decided to get the Sigma 12-24 II last summer because I enjoy architectural photos and wanted something wider....
