I would have thought that the advertised 4 stops of IS would allow for 1/60 second with this lens since 105 is a little less than 1 stop with the formula of 1/60 for 60mm, 1/125 for 100, etc.?? Could something be wrong with the lens? Or perhaps I have gotten really sloppy and just not being very steady in my technique. I went back and corrected the CA in PS Raw. It must be automatically corrected in JPEG, as there are nor indications of it on the duplicate JPEG image.

Thanks for the help.

You have the right idea. Shutter speeds should at least equal the inverse of focal length. IS is really great unless your subject is moving. If the subject is moving, all bets are off. You absolutely need much higher shutter speeds when things are moving. Many forget IS will compensate for camera shake but not moving subjects. IS is great and allows much lower shutter speeds only if the subject isn't moving.

Took a few yesterday really paying attention to technique. These look better to me. The ghosting in the left corner of the window is a result of my bad editing and not an issue with the lens. Hoping this lens will be a keeper. Thoughts?? And thanks for all the help.

You definitely seem to have improved.
Did they find the kids that defaced those rocks with their graffiti?

I hope you didn't get a ,"grey/gray market lens "
Happy shooting with it anyway.

I'm finishing a 3-week trip to the NM / AZ / UT area. I brought a small assortment of primes and zooms for the trip along with the 24-105L II that arrived the day before the trip departure. The 24-105L intentional got about 50% of the total airtime. I like the zoom lock and rugged build. Results to come after edits. For me a walkaround lens is more likely to be a 50 or 35 that were in that assortment. This lens may impact my style going forward.

Since I haven't shot any sports since I got this lens, it has not been off of the camera since I got it. So far I am very satisfied with it.

Not grey. The lens was taken out of a kit. It has been registered with Canon and all is good.
