I use a 50 f/1.4 prime to fill the dreaded "zoom gap" between 35mm and 70mm. Do you need a zoom for every single focal length?

Hi Bobster. I used the 50mm too. I just assumed that a lot of folks were 'upgrading' from one of the above lenses to the 24-105L. Obviously I was wrong. Sorry for forgetting about you and not having a 50mm choice up there.
I'm just curious as to who changed to the 24-105L and what sort of glass they were using in its place before. That's all.

Just realised the title of the thread is "thanks" - damn. I don't think I can change it now either

Wow. Interesting results. In the lead with 50% of the votes are 24-70L (ex) users. Second are 3rd party f2.8 lens users.

I thought more people valued the f2.8. Although, they also may be changing due to the IS or the lighteight etc..

Thanks for voting.

Hey KAhren. Sorry, but as far as I know - that is not my doing .
First time I have done this so forgive me, if it is in fact my fault. I don't recall seeing a feature saying "allow other members to see results". I will update you on the results , whenever you wish.

Please accept my apologies

I was using the 28-135 IS before this, and I'm very surprised at the poll results that this column is one of the lowest percentages.

I use the 16-35, the 24-70 , 70-200 and he 50 & 100 when needed. To fill that range.
Have not been convinced to change this line up .. I supose someday I will tire of lugging all that glass

Regards,
Randy

Tip for the OP: when you make a poll, always include a "I just want to see the results" option. That way you wont have people just voting randomly to see what the results are (and skewing them in the process).

The 24-105 replaced both the 24-70 and the 28-135 that I used to have.
