24-105L vs 24-70L f/4.0

[mclifford82]

Honestly, I never reach for the 24-105, and I never find myself considering the 24-70/4. Instead, it's a battle over the order of the Canon 14/2.8, 35/1.4, 135/2, 300/4, and the Zeiss 15/2.8, 21/2.8, 35/1.4, 50/2/Makro, 100/2/Makro, and 135/2 (we recently added the 85/1.2 and 100/2.8L/Macro).

You sure you just don't like zooms? Those are all primes.

You sure you just don't like zooms? Those are all primes.

We already have more than enough zooms: 10-22, 16-35II, 24-70I, 24-105, 28-135, 70-200/4IS, 70-200/2.8 IS. And let's face it, all too often we use zooms at one end or the other. I don't like the 100-400, don't see value in the 70-300L, don't want the optical tradeoffs in the 28-300, can't justify a new 24-70/2.8II, can't afford the 200-400 yet, so I'm not sure what other zooms I might consider.
