Chromatic aberrations
This lens is built relatively well, and performs relatively well, although I am very much surprised with chromatic aberrations which are too high compared even with EF-S 17-55/2.8, which is not L, and has worse build quality. Was taking images side-by sude with these two lenses (as well as with 70-200/4L IS USM and 100-400/4.5-5.6 L IS USM, and this lens was the significant outperformer.

Very good general purpose lens
That's probably the best all-purpose lens I've ever used. Obviously, you can't compare it with a prime or with the 24-70/2,8, but if you're looking for a single lens to do everything, from landscapes to portraits, that's "the lens".
Built quality is just excellent. Image stabilizer is quiet and works very well even in video mode. AF is fast, accurate and nearly silent.
On the "cons" side, distortion is a big issue at shortest focals, it starts to be quite well controlled only from 35mm. What's more, the corners of the frame are a little bit too soft, if you use the lens wide open. You just need to close down one stop to get a much better image quality, but an f/5,6 lens is not so attractive...
Anyway, all in all, I consider this lens one of the best general purpose zoom lenses ever produced for the full frame. So far...

IS problem
I purchased this lens with the 5D mark iii late November of last year. Recently though I have found to realize the IS doesnt work on anything past f4. I have found this to be a problem on their newer secletion of 24-105 lenses. I love this lens, but buy an older version if possible. I'm sending mine in soon, I will edit this after I get it back.

Review 24-105mm
Overall performance, nothing to ask for, as it covers almost every require range for a single All-in-One. At 24, image seems a little light and soft, mid range fm 35 -100, pretty good, especially indoors when light are sufficient, example, seminars, conference, image quality remain sharp throughout.
