I purchased this lens brand new to accompany my then new Canon EOS 5D around 18 months ago. I have to confess, I spent over two weeks prior to making my purchases deciding just which lens I should choose as my 'standard' zoom - this, or the also highly regarded Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 USM. In the end, I chose the 24-105 for reasons which I will divulge as we go along.
This lens is designed primarily for use on FF (Full Frame) DSLR's or 35mm film SLR cameras, the 4.4x zoom range presenting a somewhat less attractive 39-168mm focal length range when used on Canon APS-C DSLR camera due of course, to the 1.6x crop factor of the smaller sensor.

Where do I start! A legendary film!

Advantages: Sit back take a nostalgic journey back to the 80's -remeber your old bmx (if you had one) Disadvantages: very dated ,and some people may not be able to take it as it is ....
Baby faced Nicole Kidman was just 17 years old when she played the role of JUDY in BMX Bandits.
BMX Bandits was released in 1983 and seeing as I was a child of the 80's Bmx's were a part of my very own childhood as was probably true for most kids growing up in the 80's.
So the main reason for me buying this movie ,now, 26 years on from its release, was to take myself back to my childhood and then see if it was as good as I could remember!
There was something new for me personally first off, because, I actually got to see the opening credits for the first time ever! when I watched the DVD . I mention this because, way back when, in the 80's or early 90's my brother videoed BMX BANDITS off the telly,and he managed to miss the opening credits !
So the opening credits show bmx ers PJ and Goose riding around in all the BMX ...
