With your current gear on a crop I'd go in a different direction, like the 35 1.4L. The 24-xx(x) range is covered. If you were going to go up to FF I'd totally suggest the 24-70.


I had the 24-105 that came with my 5DmkII kit. I liked it while I had it although I use to cringe at the thought of using it on the wide end because of heavy CA (may not have this issue on a crop). Loved in on the long end though. I sold it to finance another lens, then realized I missed that range and since I had the 70-200 2.8 IS I decided to try the 24-70 and I LOVE this lens! On a full frame this lens is a must have. I would recommend this lens over the 24-105 almost always. I have not missed the IS one bit. On the 24-105, I would turn the IS off most of the time to conserve battery life.
