Re: Canon 24-70 f/2.8L
The lens is great -- I use it more and more. Clarity and color are great -- comparable to 70-200 2.8 I have. Here's a sample: To me the winning factor over 24-105 was the fact that the hood on 24-70 is attached to the lens body not the extending part which I feel is a much safer and stronger design. I can bang the hood… -

I can tell you with 100% certainty that my 1D focuses at least 2X faster then my 20D did with the same lens, and in the same lighting. I don't have any samples handy, as… -
Canon 24-70 f/2.8L
I know this lens has been the topic of discussion in comparison to other lenses (specifically the 24-105 f/4L). I'm considering purchasing this lens in the next couple of days, and I'm looking for some first hand experiences with it. Weight is not an issue for me, if it's heavy, I'll get over it. I shoot with an XT. So…
