Hi guys.


I'm looking for a new walkaround zoom lens, which I've narrowed down to either the 24-70 f/2.8 Lor24-105 f/4 L IS.


Comparing these two lenses, am I right to assume the wider aperture to be more valuable than the IS, even in low light?


I do have a tripod but, like I said, this will mainly be a walkaround lens for me. So day/night, indoors/outdoors, etc. Anything goes. []


After this I'm hoping to purchase a 70-200 f/2.8 L IS. Considering this, it would make sense to get the 24-70, although getting the better lens is more important to me than a little overlap.
