Hey all, my first thread here. I'm positive that I'm ready for a new lens somewhere bwteeen the 16mm to 100mm range. I was originally considering the 16-35mark ii/2.8 and the 17-40/4.0 (both L series lenses)but I realize the extra $300(ish) is worth the difference in aperature. However, upon doing a bit more research I found how much people were enthused by the 24-70/2.8.


I currently have the following lenses:
  • Canon 100-400 IS
  • Canon 100mm macro
  • Tamron 18-200mm 3.5 to 6.3
  • Canon Kit lens



The Tamron 18-200 is an extremely versatile lens, but I'm aware it cannot compete with any of Canon's specified lenses, especially the L series,which is why I need ahigher quality lensin thewide-medium range.I love shooting landscape (sunrises/sunsets/lakes/reflections/etc) and I also have a fascination with waterfalls. Taking this into account, which lens would be the best for me? The 16-35mm 2.8 mark ii Lor the 24-70mm 2.8 L.


Thanks for all your help!
