Canon EF 24-105mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM
3

A great little lens for the price, equally as good as my old 24-105L less the weather sealing, must say very impressed spot on AF and the IQ is all there, would recommend this lens any day, my copy great, and for the price new at £239 a steal.

My 12 year old 24-105L started giving me errors. I cleaned the pins but the error comes right back. So yeah 24-105 STM may be in the works. I noticed I can get one from Ebay for around $400 USD.

How is it for video .... is there any noise from the focusing motor.

Thanks

Silent AF, or as close to silent as is possible, is one of the main selling points of this lens. It is a wonderful lens for causal video.

Thanks
