True, but the hood is unique and one of the major strong suits of the
lens. The 24-70 gets longer as it gets wider, and the hood is fixed to
the non-extending portion of the lens, and thus the portion of the hood
that's beyond the front element gets shorter as the lens zooms wider. So
it's fairly unique in that the hood actually provides good protection
throughout the zoom range, rather than just at the wide end (As other
zoom hoods tend to).
Well I'll be. Adam, you don't just talk crap after all ;-)

I'm well aware of what Canon does right, as well as what they (IMHO)
don't ;-)
The 24-70's a great lens and if the 24-105 IS didn't exist, I'd be
looking at getting one, but for what I shoot, the 24-105's a better
choice (The IS helps me more than the extra stop would)
