Re: 24-105 or 24-70 travel lens?
In terms of range, I would say get the 24-70. It is an awesome piece of glass, I have one myself. Since you already have the 70-200 f 2.8, you covered the long range that the 24-105 covers that the 24-70 doesn't. The 24-70 is also f/2.8, meaning easier time to shoot indoors than the 24-105 f/4. I'd say the 24-70. In terms… -
Re: 24-105 or 24-70 travel lens?
Look carefully at the comparisons in Evoryware's post. 24 is just not wide enough in Europe - I don't even think the 17 is wide enough, but you'll get a lot more shots than with 24. I suggest you look at a Sigma 10-20 to go with a 24-xxx lens. You will be surprised at the difference between 10 and 12 mm, never mind the… -
Re: 24-105 or 24-70 travel lens?
Don't forget that the 24-105 has IS, which also means an easier time shooting indoors. I suspect it's pretty even. However, an IS len does use more battery power than a non-IS lens. For what it's worth, I took the 24-70 to Europe last fall and was pretty happy with it. Although I took almost my entire kit, upwards of 80%… -

Re: 24-105 or 24-70 travel lens?
I have BOTH the 24-70mm f/2.8 IS and 24-70mm f/2.8L BOTH ARE SUPERB LENSES.... I use my 17-55mm f/2.8 IS lens as my go-to and travel glass. It is the lens I will have on one of my cameras most of the time. IMO, it is the most versatile lens for a 1.6x camera. It's image quality is outstanding and it is a relatively… -
24-105 or 24-70 travel lens?
Hi, So in July I'm going to be traveling around Europe and want to take pictures of everything from indoor museums to outdoor street photography. I'll be walking a lot and only want to take two lenses since I don't want to carry a lot. I have the Canon 30d and the 70-200 f/2.8L lens so far since everyone I've spoken to has… -

Re: 24-105 or 24-70 travel lens?
Thank you all for your advice. But I still have a question...I thought L-series lenses were the best so why would I want a 17-55 consumer grade lens instead of the 24-70 or 24-105? Sure the IS and the fast 2.8 f-stop is great, but how is the image quality compared to the other two? I've used the 24-105 and 24-70 but I've… -

Re: 24-105 or 24-70 travel lens?
I'm with the 17/55 crowd on this one, with the 24/105 a close second. I have both these lenses, and they both produce superb colour, contrast, and IQ. Check them out at photozone. The IS is something that has really helped in many situations (both lenses have it of course). The only thing I would add if I were travelling…
