Why give up the 24 1.4 for a 2.8 zoom? Even if the 24-70 II is comparably sharp @ 24mm, the 1.4 is well 1.4! You always get the 24 IS , yea its 2.8 but at least it has IS and its in stock now.
(I just dont get, why release a 24 AND a 28 IS, and both are available before the 24-70 II which is a MUCH more important lens in the lineup!)
It wouldn\'t be bad to have zoom flexibility and not have to give up any quality at 24mm. MTF for it hint this may be possible. I would give up f/1.4, which can be cool at times, but I do use it 90% f/4 or more and often f/7.1-f/10.
The 24 IS could be interesting though, the IS would make it nice for hand held shots when you don\'t wanna drag everything down by constant tripod set-up and such. A 24 T&S II and a 24-70 II and a 24 IS and a 24 1.4 II all have uses, but I need to rob some banks first.
I dunno.
