A lens that has a fixed focal length such as 100 mm is called a 'Prime lens'. Typically they have a sharper image since it is optimized for one focal length instead of a range. I love my 24-105 but...

This is a very nice lens. I got it earlier this year for $849. It is a great lens for portraits also. Gives great bokeh not as good as the 135L but still nice.

Getting the 24-70 with 20% during the sale at canon is akin to a lottery winner. Can you define what you mean by soft?

Actually, many Canon lenses, including this one, are weather sealed only when you have a front filter installed. If not you leave the internals open to dust and rain.

24-70L does wonders on FF. it's perfectly fine to use on APS-C, but it's incredible on FF. Also it's surprising that you have issues on corners with 7D because 7D doesn't use the full image circle of...

135L will give you better bokeh, but don't forget that if you have shaky hands, this has latest generation 4-stop Hybrid IS. Also you can use lens for portraits and macro both.

Unless you are exclusively using it for portraits, you don't need UV filter. Hood does the job better for macro.

Different filter. Buydig includes the C filter (made in The Philippines, I think). The filter you linked is the O which is made in Japan.

I will try to ask some intelligent questions. What is this lens best used for? Why is a dedicated 100 better than one that includes 100 such as the 24-105?

Hmmm I did a quick search and the result I found said that uv-c is just the more recent designation for the uv-o filter... are both types currently in production?
