At 24mm the end of the lens is extended towards the end of the hood, as you zoom out the end retracts and more of the hood is used to protect against flare. Pretty clever really.

I also was on the fence between the 24-105 and the 24-70 but once you handle it for the first time you realize you wasted alot of time trying to make a decision. I have the 40D and love the focal range. Don't think you have to have a 5D for this lens. You just have to have Money! Great review Very accurate.

They also all have that red stripe you see around the end of the barrel. They're typically heavier, as they use more glass than the standard lenses, and they are build sturdier. Expensive, for sure, but once you get used to them it's really hard to go back. :) Yup, the “L” is what Canon uses to designate their “pro” line of lenses.

One thing I've been wondering about - I see you refer to this and a few others as "L" series. How is that different than their other lenses? Is it a "pro" level or special glass or what?
