Great range, cheap build

Re: Great range, cheap build

my 5d (original) had to be sent to canon because the mirror fell off. I had a friend's wedding I said I would shoot. I needed a fast medium range zoom for my back-up camera -- canon 20d. I bought a used 17-55 (and sold it afterwards). I've owned the 24-105L at least a half dozen times over the years and was an early adopter when it was first released. as a landscape shooter the distortion at 24mm makes the lens highly undesirable to me, as well as the mediocre performance throughout the range and softness at 105.

bottom line is at the time the 17-55 was the only lens that would work for me.
