I've been travelling with my 400D (Rebel Xti) and the 24-70 f/2.8 L USM.


I didn't think that the 24-70 f/2.8 L USM was a burden to me at all.


Of course, hanging it over your neck for a long time would give you aches. []





I've never regretted purchasing the 24-70 f/2.8 L USM.

I borrowed a 28-70 f/2.8L USM (precursor to the 24-70) from a professor to shoot an event for him, along with a 180 L macro and a 100-400 f/4L. I was using a Rebel XT body. The 28-70 was by far the best performing of the group. It was a little longer than the 18-55 that the camera came with and not all that much heavier feeling. The sharpness was astounding. After about 4 hours of shooting I was only tired of carrying the beast of a 100-400 (the macro was in the car). The 28-70 just felt right.
