This lens does not seem to get much attention. I think it is a pretty interesting lens, especially as a standard zoom with good video performance.

Not really sure what Canon was thinking with this lens. The 24-105L is already available ~$600 BNIB as part of a kit.

perhaps stop there an think about it .. canon sells this lens for 1000 retail, and is taking 400 off of it to bundle it into a kit.

maybe they don't want to do that? and have a cheap kit option?

not sure what you're thinking about if you couldn't dot the i's on that one.

canon needs a cheaper full frame kit option. this is it.

I'm not sure that Canon doesn't want to apply discounts to kit bundles, as they always seems to price kit bundles at a few hundred dollars less than the body and lens bought separately--from 5D3/24-70F4L all the way down to the lowliest Rebels. I'd expect the 24-105STM to be priced at ~$400 range when bundled

probably less than that and considering that the 24-105L is usually around 1150 - it's not helping canon making cheaper full frame bundles - not to mention the STM is lighter.

so you have 6D bundles that canon doesn't have to necessarily eat the L price but can slash down further with the 24-105 STM.  the kit price can be up to around 300-500 cheaper than the current kits.
