Re: Canon 24-70 f2.8L ii or Canon 24-70 f4.0 IS?
You do have to be careful with people at the edges of the frame, since placed badly they can look weird out there. The 24-70 II 2.8 is really amazing and basically performs about the same as the 24 1.4 II (I assume that is what you meant by 24 f/1.2?) although with more distortion (less than the Tamron 24-70 VC and a lot… -
Re: Canon 24-70 f2.8L ii or Canon 24-70 f4.0 IS?
I cannot recommend a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM for the purposes photodad indicated at the head of this thread. The Canon 24-105mmL has some of the highest barrel distortion of any of the Canon lenses, and clearly visible in group portraits and some landscapes, at the 24mm end. The EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM is far from… -

with Matt, except I would recommend considering the 24-70/4 over the 24-105 for the reasons Ziggy states. I assume it's better because it's newer, but I haven't evaluated the two against each other. I rarely use my 24-70L anymore for the reasons Matt describes. It's just so damn big and heavy and conspicuous. Most of the… -

A lens which has a maximum aperture of f2.8 triggers the high-precision capability of the center autofocus dot, with twice the focus accuracy of the other dots. An f2.8 lens also allows more DOF options and control than an f4 lens. That is not to say that the Canon EF 24-70mm f/4.0L IS USM is anything less than stellar. I… -
Re: Canon 24-70 f2.8L ii or Canon 24-70 f4.0 IS?
As a landscape photographer I really like lighter, smaller zooms in the f/4 range, however lately I have also ventured in the direction of night time photography and star trails, which of course demands as much aperture as possible. I opted, instead of getting all f/2.8 zooms, to simply get a 24mm f/1.4 and a 14mm f/2.8 to… -

A standard zoom is all but required if you are shooting events like weddings and stuff where you don't want to be swapping lenses. But if you're not doing that stuff I would go with 2 or 3 fast primes. Like a 35 and 85, or 28-50-100. I've been moving towards primes and I barely use my 24-70/2.8L anymore. It sounds… -
