To continue the previous post, whearas the 24-105 STM has the following advantages over the 24-105L;

-Lower weight

-Lower price point already and will presumably go lower still after the launch phase

-More effective image stabiliser

-Hopefully won'tt suffer from the internal cable breakage problem that has apparently caused repeated failures in some 24-105L lenses. This has been discussed at length on this forum and others.

So take your pick

It'll be really interesting to read some comparative reviews and see how they compare optically!

What cable breakage issues are you referring to? I am very curious about this having just bought the 6D + 24-105 kit a week ago...
