24-105 from 24-70

[Busted Knuckles]

Now that I've "gone Black Rapid" (none of our cameras have traditional straps now), I have occasionally grabbed the 24-105 for true one-lens no-bag adventures. Nonetheless, a 24-70/2.8II is on my wishlist, which will move the old model 24-70/2.8 to spare/remote duty.

Not to jack the thread, but.... I am thinking something similar w/ the 70-200 in its lens bag on my belt makes a pretty big spread - then again with a few more syllables and wayward thoughts I have my whole backpack ......

My general assessment has been: the 24-105 is a great "starter" lens. Once one has a 70-200, especially if it's a f/2.8 model, I feel the 24-70 makes a lot more sense.
