Amazon Prime Day may be over but there are still good deals to be had out there, particularly when it comes to older DSLR lens technology – Canon EF lenses for example.

With so much attention given to mirrorless cameras and their lenses these days, prices of some DSLR gear are falling, so it’s ironically quite a good time be buying into the technology.

Maybe you already use a Canon DSLR, or have one as a back-up, or are just looking to snaffle a second camera bargain.

In our recent buyers guide to the best Canon EF lenses for DSLR users, our expert reviewers zoned in on the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM as the best walk around lens you can buy.

In other words, it’s a very versatile, ‘take anywhere’ L-series lens that will come in very handy for your summer travels. Who wants to lug around a bag of clanking lenses if they can avoid it, or have to miss a good photography opportunity as they are faffing about changing lenses in the heat?

This lens is replaces the original the EF 24-105mm f/4L USM, which was a big seller for Canon for over a decade. It features a revised optical design that has made it a little sharper towards the edges with less barrel distortion at the wide end.
