Ive been away, and not current on newer Canon lenses. I currently have 28-70 f/2.8 non-IS and it has been my workhorse but after years of service, is broken and I'm going to retire it. Wondering about the 24-70mm f/2.8 and how many generations there are out there -- and if so, how they differ, Is there any improvement in terms of corner sharpness. I shoot landscapes and aerials. Tripod on the ground, hand held in the air. Let me know if you have real-world experience comparing any generations of this venerable lens.
Wishing you great light! Paul
The newest version of the 24-70mm f/2.8L is among my main lenses. I use it for landscape photography and other purposes, and it is a fine performer. Corner sharpness is fine, too. The newest lens uses a different design than earlier versions.
On the other hand, for your particular use the f/4 24-70mm lens might also be just fine. I'm guessing that you probably don't use f/2.8 much for those subjects.
