Pros:
|
Waayy better than 75-300 IS (in term of sharpness and range), light-weight, plus IS
|
|
Cons:
|
must stop down at 300m, spinning front element, a bit too expensive for non-L lens
|
|
Well, what else can I say.. Did some comparison tests with 70-200mm f/4L and I bet the result will surprise you..

Pros:

Sharp, great range, IS is WONDERFULL
|

Cons:

Expensive..

With 17-40mm and 100-400mm, now i'm very well covered from 17-400mm.. The IS is a BIG plus in this lens. Wish it was faster, but then I guess it would be way more expensive... 
bottom line: I'M HAPPY !
Posted up some samples with 350D and 20D here: http://www.dphotojournal.com/canon-ef-24-105mm-f4l-is-usm/

Pros:
|
Price..Price..and Price (Compared with the other L ) with the same Quality, Built Quality, The LensHood (this thing really WORKS!), USM, Sharpness
|
|
Cons:
|
Ok, The lenshood does work, but it's quite BIG!
|

This is my first 'L' lens. I bought this lens after I have been using my 300D for about 1 1/2 years and having some other third party lenses (Sigma & Tamron).
This lens indeed stands out from my other lenses.
If you're new to SLR, and thinking of buying third party lens, or Non L lens.. Then, I must say...Don't do it! You better save your money and buy a really good quality lens.
Sample of my latest shots using this lens:
