I prefer the wider side of the 17-40 but Ithink it will be more restrictive for an all-around carrying lense. That's why I'm thinking about the 24-105.


The 28-135 was a good lense, but too much reach for what I do. the perfect lense would be a 24-70 f2.8, or even a Tamron 17-50 f2.8. Anyways...I love then all, like you guys.




...how wide is still acceptable for you ? if 28-xxx was generally wide enough, then 24-xxx will certainly feel 'better' (wider), but if you want/need the wider side of the 17-40 often, then 24-xxx will still feel limiting...





...if your future plans do not include going fullframe for the next two/three years, and that 70-200F2.8L is coming 'for sure', then perhaps the EF-S17-55F2.8 IS (L class optics in a decent but not L housing) or the Tamron 17-50F2.8 might be better choices...





...€0.02...





Kindest regards!
