Actually, if I wanted to take a picture in the dark (without a tripod), I would prefer the 24-105. I consider it the more flexible lens, no doubt. Not as good for some things, but more flexible.

Jon, you're right. I was trying to be a little facetious with the "walking around in the dark," but tone/inflection never seems to translate in type. []


I'm with you on this one, too. The IS definitely gives an advantage, especially in low light. Lighter lens, too, so easier to hold. Plus, that extra reach is a real advantage.


With a tripod, I still prefer the 24-105, due to its clarity.
