If you value small size and weight, this is a great standard zoom for full frame

Re: If you value small size and weight, this is a great standard zoom for full frame

Bought once a very clean used copy of that lens in its box for the obvious reason that I wanted a lighter and more compact general use zoom lens. I let it go after a while for lack of IS. Obviously couldn't get sharp shots when light started to go down and had to increase shutter speed and thus iso and end up with noisier images. But it had beautiful rendering and smooth clean creamy bokeh. Much more appealing than the ef 24-105 stm that I own now. It would find new life now mounted on a stabilised Eos R body. I'm actually having my eyes on a clean one for sale. But to get a stabilised Eos R body now is not an option, if ever. Unless Canon releases a cheaper stabilised Eos R.

No perfect gear out there. Just be happy with what you have and go shoot.
