Re: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 or 24-105mm f/4L IS Lense?
I agree with Waxy's answer. I am an owner of both the 24-70 f2.8 L and the 24-105 f4 IS L. The 24-70 is larger and heavier to schlup around all day, so outside in good light I strongly prefer the reach of the 24-105 and do not miss the f2.8. But for shooting candids and portraits indoors, I prefer the 24-70 f2.8 L, with… -

Re: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 or 24-105mm f/4L IS Lense?
Good advice so far. I have the 24-70 myself, and will be adding the 70-200 iS to my kit later. These two lenses make a pretty good match. It seems the 24-70 is more for low light situations with the f2.8, while the 24-105 is more of a general outdoors walk-around lens. So it really depends on what you're going to use it… -
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 or 24-105mm f/4L IS Lense?
Hi, I am about to buy one of these two lenses Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM or Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM But I can't make up my mind to which one purchase. I'm am photography student just getting started. I have a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM already. What are the main difference between the two lenses? If you have… -

I have the 24-70 and it's a great lens. Can't comment on the 24-105 never used it. I also have the 70-200 and they seem to be a good match...at least for me. If you go with the 24-70 you save a little money and get a faster lens. You already have covered the 70 to 105mm range with the 70-200. Just my .02 Fred -
Re: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 or 24-105mm f/4L IS Lense?
On the 20D, as I have a 10-22 EFS and a 70-200 2.8, ... I never used the 24-70 much (on the wide side I'd rather have the 10-22 because of the extended range down to 10 and on the long side I'd use the 70-200 because I could zoom out to 200). Now I have a 5D, and the 24-70 is in it's own element ... extremely useful in all… -
Re: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 or 24-105mm f/4L IS Lense?
If you think you'll be shooting things that move, in low light, then you'll need the extra speed of the 24-70. If you want a do-everything lens that isn't terribly good at shooting moving things in low light, then get the 24-105. Generally speaking, the 24-105 is the better walk-around lens. It has a wide range, and the… -
Re: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 or 24-105mm f/4L IS Lense?
FWIW, after a few months with the 24-105 there is no way I'd trade it for the 24-70 2.8. While there are times I need a faster lens than the 24-105 I don't feel that F/2.8 would really be fast enough to help. I'll be adding something to the quiver eventually that will be a low ambient light lens specifically. As a daylight… -

Re: Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 or 24-105mm f/4L IS Lense?
For the kind of low light shooting I do, I prefer the fast primes (35/1.4, 50/1.4, 85/1.8 and 135/2) to the the 24-70/2.8. I think that preference is because in most situations I have the flexibility to foot zoom so the faster primes work better for me. The 24-105/4 is my daylight/tourisim/walk around lens and for that it…
