Actually in regards with the 24-70 f2.8, my main concern is the variation of copy and in regards with 16-35 f2.8 my concern is, if the zoom range is too short for an everyday lens use.

Maybee I have a bad copy of the 24-70mm. I do alot of large prints and my copy just never delivered. I sent it in for warranty work once but it still performs the same. Alot of people really like this lens, maybee if I had a diffrent copy I would to. The 24-70 range is really good for everyday use.


My 16-35L has produced alot of really nice pictures, it is wide. It really depends on what you are concider everyday use if it would work for you or not. My walk around lens is a 35mm F1.4L and before I got it I usualy had the 16-35L on my camera when I went out. The 16-35mm may be to wide for you, thats a question you can only answer.


My camera is a 5D Mark II as well.
