Yes the placing of the focus ring is odd, why did Canon do that?, but not worth worrying about as you soon get used to it..

I agree that you soon get used to it. In fact, as it's a reasonably heavy lens, I prefer to have my left hand at the front for support, which is where the more often-used zoom is. But after extended use of the 70-300 when I go back to the 24-105 I often find that I'm focusing when I want to zoom.

And yes, it is a stellar lens. I had the 70-300 non-L for a few years before the L appeared. It was no slouch either, but of course the L is better.
