i used this lens for about 8 months and found that wide open it was softer than any L lens that i had used before. bokeh was mediocre to terrible.
on my 20d i felt that the shortcomings of the ambitious design allowed for very little creativity.
i.e., i wasn't comfortable using this lens wide open or for portraits.
after 8 months i sold the 24-105L and bought the 24-70L, which i had rented previously.
both lenses have their drawbacks but the 24-70L has better IQ, better bokeh and better DOF control.
i was given another 24-105L for xmas with my 5d and i returned it for the 300L f4 IS and am still using the 24-70L.

great lens. i've found that the IQ is actually an improvement over the f4 non-IS when shooting wide open and bokeh is on par.
