Re: Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM and EF 35mm f/2 IS USM
That's the part that confuses me. Are they maybe going to discontinue the 24-105? That would seem odd, to say the least, but....? This new 24-70 is pretty pricy for an F4, as well (although not as crazy expensive as the 2.8). I think I'm holding on to my 24-70 mkI for a while longer (or trading it in for a Tamron with IS)! -
Re: Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM and EF 35mm f/2 IS USM
I own the 24-70 f2.8 L and the 24-105 f4 IS L, and find that out of doors I strongly prefer the 24-105, but indoors, the shorter length and wider aperture is a much better choice since the long end will be covered by the 70-200 f2.8 IS L. So I kind of wonder who the 24-70 F4 IS L is directed at also. It will be smaller and… -

Canon head scratcher: 24-70 f4 IS Yep, Canon just announced the 24-70 f4 IS. Hmmmm. For those of us desperately holding out for a 24-70 f2.8 IS, this is a bit of a blow. While Canon does add IS to this lens, it does it on an f4 model. Note that this is the new kit lens for the Canon 6D. I suppose this is an attempt to… -
Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM and EF 35mm f/2 IS USM
While the Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM and EF 35mm f/2 IS USM are being introduced with the Canon 6D, they will certainly work with other bodies, both FF and crop. http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/about_canon?pageKeyCode=pressreldetail&docId=0901e024806f2095 From the above site: Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM Canon EF 35mm f/2… -
Re: Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM and EF 35mm f/2 IS USM
You're right! I forgot that new Nikon 24-70's are actually not that cheap, since I bought mine for $1500 used. Really, the Nikon 24-70 and 14-24 and 70-200 mk2 are within a few hundred bucks of each other. So, I'm betting that the Canon 24-70 mk2 will drop down to about $1800-$1900 within a year or two. Either way, you get… -

Re: Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM and EF 35mm f/2 IS USM
Concerning the 24-70, I don't wonder at all why there isn't an IS 2.8 version. If there was, it would weigh two pounds or more and be even larger and might run closer to $3K. The IS on the f/4 keeps it manageable and cheaper. With low light focusing systems becoming more sensitive coupled with clean high ISO's, it becomes… -
Re: Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM and EF 35mm f/2 IS USM
I think we need to consider the future in order for these types of zooms to make sense, especially at their price. The older mk1 etc. lenses were designed back in the days of film, or of 6-12 megapixel DSLR's. Within another generation or so we'll be past ~40 megapixels. The 24-105 f/4 may deliver acceptable results now,…
