Re: Canon 17-55 v 24-105
I own the 24-105. It is a great lens. Do you find yourself needing the extra reach of the 105mm vs the 55mm? Also...do you find yourself not using the f/2.8 as much because you want a wider DOF? Are you shooting in a lot of low light situations where you would need the f/2.8? Let me tell you, that 24-105 LOVES the… -
Re: Canon 17-55 v 24-105
The 24-105 spends a LOT of time on my camera. The shooting I do is quite different from yours, but it's my main walkaround when I don't want to carry the whole kit. I do wish it were just a bit wider, since I'm also using a cropped sensor. If you're a big bokeh fan (I am), I have to say, it's not spectacular, so I tend to… -

I own both, which I use in this way: 24-105 - Used for outdoors, tele, and spring/summer when f/4 is not a problem and I want more reach. I agree that this lens performs spectacularly well when fed lots of light; I try not to operate it at its lower limits. 17-55 - Used indoors where more speed and more wide is needed, and… -
Re: Canon 17-55 v 24-105
Hi Nikolai I mainly shoot auto-car venues which are usually held in fields, forests etc. I can get pretty close and on occasions I have had to use my 17-55 but I must admit on occasions too close for comfort. I thought the 24-105 would keep me at a safe distance. I have quite a lot of lenses as you will see and I must try… -
Re: Canon 17-55 v 24-105
Thanks Candid and Niks. I am retired Scott and I just love photography, I wish I had made this my career rather than the legal profession. I love my 17-55 and I very rarely shoot indoors to use the 2.8. I have always had it as my walk around at all times. However, I spend most of my time following the motor rallies and at…
