Summary
This is my full review of the Canon 24-105mm f/2.8 lens and I discuss its design and performance. I highlight that Canon seems to be prioritizing video in their latest releases and that the lens is primarily designed for video use. I mention that the build quality is good and the lens is sharp, but I have issues with the size and distortion correction. I explain that the lens has a wide range of distortion, which requires correction in post-processing, and that Canon does not allow disabling distortion correction in-camera. I also express concerns about relying on software profiles and the loss of resolution due to correction. I conclude by hoping that Canon will head in a different direction with their lens designs.
