Page 2 of 2 The lens delivered consistently sharp results, with the only motion blur produced by Colm’s hand controlling the bow, though this added a dynamic element to the photographs. While I’m increasingly using a tripod, I was satisfied to see that handholding a telephoto focal length could still deliver great results. I had anticipated having to manually focus the lens in the dim light, but the lens and the camera’s autofocus system worked great even without the aid of the camera’s AF assist light. The resulting images were sharp, and I saw little evidence of color fringing, even in the high-contrast areas of the image. The solid construction and heft of the Canon EF 24-105mm felt perfectly balanced in my hand, and I was pleased to see that the results matched or exceeded my expectations.
