I'm looking into this lens for video so will be using it with the Metabones Speedbooster, after removing that back plastic piece.

Cropped video?  It is already a crop format lens.  I'd suggest you check the clearance between the rear element and the front element of the speedbooster too before you start taking it to bits.

A couple of questions though..

The Wiki was alluding to different versions of this lens as some were complaining about dust collecting in the lens. Was there a later version and how to identify it?

Also, has anyone compared the IS of the 17-55mm vs the 24-105mm?

Thank you!
