Looking at purchasing a 24-105L in the next couple of weeks. I am looking for a good walk around lens and from what I have read this is the lens to get - it cetainly is the focal lenght I am after.

I really like my Tamron 17-50 but just find it too short for as a general walk around. My buddy just bought this lens and I had a quick play ith it on my 50D and it appears to be a very sharp and nice lens - just doing the need full and checking with those experienced with this lens that it is up to the expectations of the reviewsI have read.

Cheers,

Mike
