also looking for a walk around lens

[Backland Photography]

Hey camrich22,


Good to hear from you.


I have never used the 24-105 but from what I read it's a GREAT lens. If our kit needed this lens I would really have a good look. It seems a lot of photographers like this lens.


I can relate how you like the 70-200, we use the 2.8 and find it is tack sharp and VERY versitile/robust. A lens we would NEVER give up.


Happy shooting and be safe..

I own and love both. If your going to carry it around alot, you'll be much happier with the EF24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM. The 70-200 draws more attention, weighs more, and is generally not very good for group portraits, landscapes, architecture, etc.... at least not on a crop body.


You know the answer on this forum is always, "get both."

get a 24-105 too, and a fast primes, and a 100-400....


Unless you've already got them. In that case, get a 400 f/2.8, unless you've already got that, in which case get a 800 f/5.6....
