    Great way to ask the question.....Hmmm,

    As I am looking to replace my 24-105 (a story not worth telling) and had pre-ordered the 24-70 2.8 but then cancelled to see if it would be really worth $2,300.

    So I am spending basically a $1,000 out of the blocks as a constants - so the pricing is from "0" for the 24-105, +300 for the Tammy, +500 for the f4 24-70, and plus $1,300 for the 2.8. in round numbers.

    $500 buys something that could be useful, and certainly $1,300 does as well. My perception of the $300 to the tammy is not mental "step" of $500 and the resolution looks pretty darn good. Better than the 24-105 through the range 24-70.

    I may very well just replace the 24-105 with the Tammy (never thought I would ever get non Canon) and get something more specifically purposed like the 180 macro for macro work with the differential of going all the way to the 2.8 .... or the 100L + 35 f2 or, or, or, or,.... What a wonderful set of choices to have...
