@xoxomojo I LOVE my 24-105L I would recommend it highly for an everyday walkaround lens.

Hi, just a quick question- Is the price difference between the non -L and the L version justified? I'm no pro photographer, I use a 550d only starting out, but it would be awesome to have a good macro lens.

Also, is it difficult to get good pictures handheld? as you said ,

"@falopio2007 .... because you cannot control macro hand held anyway.... "

[nate42nd]

@lumos2maxima You have to get fast shutter speeds or use a tripod with the non L version but I would recommend it. You can control the non IS version with a flash or high ISO. I have learned a lot since I first got the lens. I would buy the same one today. I don't think the L version is worth double the price unless money is not a problem.....then get the L version.

you talking that the 17-55 f2.8 lets less light in than the 24-105 f4 ???!!!! wtf

[nate42nd]

@Shmenman No, I am just saying from what I have seen the glass in the "L" lens seems different even with both lenses at F/4.

Good video

f/4 on any lens lest in the SAME light if it let in more then your exposure will be wrong .....

f/4 is f/4 for more light you have to open up...........

Most fun you can have with your clothes on.. lol.. that made me finish the whole video! Good vid.

@nate42nd hmmm would a flash ring help with that? and anyway it's very sunny where i live all year round so unless i'm shooting at night it wouldn't be a problem. And yeah since i'm a uni student money is a pretty big problem LOL. I'll try out the non-L version to see if i like it :)

thanks for your help
