... it's no wonder Canon is dumping its inventory as a kit lens for the 5D mkIII for about $600 if you subtract the body cost from the 4k package.

The 24-105 has always been sold for a very keen price as part of the 5D kit, right from the MkI which it was introduced with/for. If it's the right lens for you then it's a bargain.

It has its weaknesses - only f/4, not the latest IS and no mode 2, distortion at 24 mm - but as an affordable everyday standard zoom for full frame it suits a lot of people very well.
