With the comment you made I am not sure the 24-105L lens is the one you would want. The F4 is really better outside, I bought this lens when I just had my 50D and took it back because it just wasn't that good in the house. It had a problem with the inboard flash if you had the lens hood on it would block out some of the light close up inside. I think with a crop camera there are better options.


Keep in mind if you get the 5D Mark II and the 24 x 105 combination, there is no onboard flash. If you have a flash to put on the 5D you would be ok, if not it would be an additional expense.


I wouldn't worry about buying the EF-S lenses. The ones everyone suggested hold the values very well and you could easily resell it or trade up when you decide to go to a 5D in the future.
