I plan on getting a 5D mkII for Christmas but want to upgrade my lenses first. I really don't have a particular type of photo specialty although I never take portraits. I do take lots of flower images. We also travel a lot and enjoy looking back at photo memories. Any suggestions (or thoughts) would be more than welcome. Thanks,

Bill,


If you don't need the action-stopping ability or the shallow DOF of an f/2.8 then it sounds like the EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USMis the one for you. If you are taking landscapes or other stills the IS will be extremely helpful and it's a much lighter lens as well.


Here comes the shameless plug...I actually have one for sale if you don't mind a gently used one. It's only 6 months old and looks like new! FS: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens
