ok ok, a little over dramatic, however the debate has been going on as long as the 28-70 f2.8's have been around, range vs aperture.
outdoor landscapes primarily, the range wins it.
Jack of all trades, the faster lens wins it.
if I traveled without kids and family, I'de take the 24-105 as I'de likely be on my own shooting landscapes, and for indoor low light, I'de bring the baddest primes
well, I travel with family, so I send to keep things minimal, and that...Show more →
This is true...I went through this in my Canon days as well! However- the size/price of the Tamron also might play into the decision some. Sticking with native glass the price and size of the 2.8 are sacrifices one will make compared to the 24-105. Not so if you're considering the Tamron.
In the range of either lenses, I'm more a prime shooter than not, so jumping up to the 24-70 GM didn't make sense for me.

I found f/2.8 made my zoom lens more flexible than the added focal range you get with the 24-105, so I went with the Tamron, and have been very happy with it for a variety of things, including some landscapes. Currently my only zoom lens actually. If I need wider than 28, in my uses, I usually have time/flexibility to reach for my 24 GM. Depending on what you shoot the range might be more important than f/2.8, in which case I don't think you can go wrong with the 24-105. Nice we have 2 good choices.ok ok, a little over dramatic, however the debate has been going on as long as the 28-70 f2.8's have been around, range vs aperture.
