Aren\'t you guys tired of changing lenses? (I\'m not being ironic and i\'m referring to the fact that when you travel / work with many lenses you have to keep changing them back & forth from the body).
When you\'re coming back from a vacation or holiday or whatever, it\'s not like you\'re gonna need 20mp files sharp & crisp for the pixel peepers..... No,you\'re gonna come back with some nice pictures which you are gonna resize & then post to facebook,forums,web or whatever. You\'re note gonna make huge monster prints...
SO........why spend money on owning redundant lens combos ?
If I had a 24-105 F4L IS, this 24-70 f4L IS wouldn\'t interest me one bit.
I only shot a couple of pictures once with the 24-105 F4L IS, but to me this is a hard lens to beat, as a \'all round\' / \'vacation\' lens...coupled ,for low light situations,with a 50mm 1.4 or a 35mm f2..
If you\'re a professional photographer and earning your money this way, surely you\'ll need a lens like 24-70 2.8 (either I or II), and sometimes the IS cannot compensate for faster aperture (due to many, obvious reasons).
I realize that my judgement is purely subjective on this but: I don\'t get people who own so many lenses that overlap themselves (I don\'t know if I used the correct term,but you get the idea)...
there was somebody here saying that he owns the 35L , the 35 f2, and if the 35 F2 IS would be released ,he would get that too........c\'mon.....
The more lenses I own/would own....the more confused I would be and it would make my lens-picking-decision harder..
Throw me a FF body and a 85L II to accompany my current 24L II, and I\'m all set baby. event, landscape, portrait, you name it. Birding & sporting would be ruled out of course (can\'t really bird or sport with the 85L :| ) but for everything else, I\'d get the job done..
