My 24-105 v1 is underwhelming. Some folks seem to have good copies. My 17-40 is also underwhelming, but my 16-35F4 is EXCELLENT. I often grab that before the Zeiss 21. I also like the 70-200 F4, but I'm still evaluating the 100-400 v2...I'm starting to think that air turbulents are softening my distant shots. I also need to test the lens without a filter. My relatively close shots are great.
With all that said, I like the sharpness of single focal length lenses, and I wish they'd make 'em slightly slower so they'd be lighter for hiking 10 miles. I absolutely love my Contax 50 1.7. O...M...G, What a wonderful lens. Also, my old Nikkor 105 is really nice. I love the small sharp lenses.
In comparison, the 24-105 is not very exciting and tends to get used for family photos. I'd really like a sharp 24-70 or 24-105, so i'm curious about the 24-70F4 or the VII 2.8, but I'm gun shy. Fool me once, and I'll buy a Zeiss (or Contax) 25mm
