Ouch that's really expensive! I just looked it up, here in the Netherlands it's 16 Euro a day. Better yet for 65 euro I could rent either the 24-70 or the 24-105 for 7 days. Talking about price differences. (Obviously you need to pay a security fee, which is returned after the rent)
Anyway, 65 euro a day is pretty much and you might be even wondering if it's worth it. If you're buying a second hand 24-something and you don't like it after all. You probably don't lose 65 euro on that deal... If you're buying new, you might lose a lot more than 65 euro though...unless you keep it.
Oh Im not afraid of getting robbed, I just meaned if I drop it or bump innto someone hehe
Haha ok. Well that can happen at any moment I guess. And bumping probably doesn't damage such a fine camera and lens combo that much. The lenses we talk about are very strong.
I personally like the 24-105 for it's versatility and IS over the 24-70 plus the 5D can handle a little higher ISO, but that's really a personal thing.
