I am deciding between 24-105 L for $600 or tamron 28-300 VC for 350 as a everyday lens.

I currently have 24-70 L and 100 2.

Thanks,

I'm not trying to be flippant here, but that's like saying that you are looking for a hammer, and should you buy a sledge hammer or a ball-peen hammer!

Those are incredibly different tools. In different leagues optically.

Which do you prefer and why? In answering your own question, keep in mind the different compromises you'll be accepting depending on your answer.

For me, the Tamron is an unacceptable compromise in optical quality, while the Canon is practically perfect.

YMMV

It's like comparing apples and potatoes.

Why not get an SL1 or T5i with the kit lenses?

I would wait for next photokina. Tamron has announced a new 28-300 lens in February. I guess it will be introduced in September and sold short after. If this lens follows the last couple of new generation lenses developed by Tamron and Sigma, its IQ might make it an excellent alternativ.
