Hi, I'm a first time user and am just wondering whether the 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM on a cropped sensor could equate more or less to the24-70mm f/2.8L USM on full frame.


I know on a cropped sensor the 16-35 resembles more 26-56mm so its obviously not an exact match as the 24-70 but I'm thinking more in terms of the suitability for portrait work.


The aperture is the same, the focal length not hugely different. The 24-70 is considered to be a great studio lens. How successfully could the 16-35 be used as a portrait/studio lens on a cropped sensor or are there other issues, eg distortion, to consider?


Thank you very much.
