Yep, another lens advice question

Scott, if you're aboslutely love the 24-70 f/2.8L, go for it!


The 24-70 works very well for potrait and general purpose. The only down side is that it's not really wide on a 1.6 crop body. A 70-200 f/2.8Lwill nicely complement it.

I luuuuuuuuuuuuuv my 24-70 (and 70-200 for that matter). GREAT zoom range for a lot of different things and f/2.8 is good times for my needs (to say the least). There's no way around it thought, it IS a heavy lens. I prefer to think of it as "solid"


As for no IS.... I 'd personally rather have the faster aperture for low light shots than IS... though if they combined both (which would make it even heavier... though my wallet would be a lot lighter so maybe that evens it out :P) I wouldn't complain too much
