Re: So any 24-105 STM reviews yet?

I've not analysed this to see if it's the same people complaining repeatedly, but the links below seem to indicate there is something amiss, sadly. On the other hand there in the same threads there are plenty of photographers who have used the 24-105L extensively and had no problems.

So you read into this what you like. I'd hope that if there was an inherent problem the Canon Engineers would have quietly made a running change to fix it, so later batch codes should be as reliable as we expect Canon lenses to be...

Unfortunately I can confirm this issue... my 24-105L just began to show signs of this problem last Saturday while I was shooting my first basketball game with my newly acquired 6D

Camera locking up and lens making strange noises... looks like the diaphragm is dying...
