24-105 over 50/1.8? You've got to be kidding me.
Well, no, not kidding. Please give us your history as a sports/action shooter. You constantly tell everyone on the board that all their problems can be solved with a 50 1.8 and a 75-300 is a good lens and rebel cameras are all that we need. You gave this advice elsewhere and that person agreed it was a terrible lens for actions/sports. The AF speed is clunky, inaccurate and cannot keep up with tracking. It is a $100 lens for a reason. It is a good portrait, street and more static scene lens, but a sports lens it is absolutely not. Not only that, 50mm is only good for part of the court, and terrible for the rest of the court, requiring a zoom to really keep the subjects filling the frame.
There isn't going to be any avid sports shooter that is going tell people that the 50 1.8 lens is a good action lens.... because it isn't! A 24-105L focuses much faster and tracks better and smoother than the 50 1.8. Just because it is an f1.8 lens doesn't make it a sports lens. Getting light to the sensor is only part of the equation, getting a bunch of OOF shots but at low ISO just isn't the goal of someone shooting sports.
Have you even had a 24-105L? I also gave the recommendation to look at the Tamron zoom that is an f2.8, recognizing the budgetary constraints here. I also suggest the 40mm f2.8, the STM focusing is faster, and has a finer step motor than the 50 1.8.
