sure or not...
sure.. decided that my lens should be 1x UWA zoom and 1x telezoom.. the in between ones.. I think the most applicable for me is primes.. 35mm, 50mm and 85mm

Maybe when you see the result and the photo from 24-70mm II.... we will hear a different story.......
It happens..... :bsmilie:

When it cost less than $2k street.. then maybe. I've already seen some sample pictures already..
And for the mid focal range.. I seriously prefer primes. 35mm and 85mm is seriously too poisonous :bsmilie:

Same thoughts with bro avsquare, one UWA zoom, one prime, one telezoom, plus a couple of teleconverters and you're good to go for most applications, something like: 16-35, 50, 70-200, 1.4x, 2x. Unless its a specific type of shoot and you need a certain effect, then primes for that application.

Only in cases where you don't have time to change lenses, and you need something on the go, then the 24-70 is it.

yup.. same thoughts.. for me.. alternating between landscapes and portraits meant UWA and the 70-200 for me. The middle range.. I doesn't seem to touch it these days. Maybe when you only want one lens during travel, then I guess a 24-105 would be the best choice instead. ;p
Yes. 24-105mm in on my camera and in bag either a 17-40 or a 70-200. but I am thinking of just a prime 24L or 35L on camera and with just 70-200 in the bag. Have anyone tried that?

It all depends on the purpose of travel. If you are travelling for photographic opportunities, I'm sure you will bring your entire kit.
If it is for relaxation or with family, I don't think you'll need a 70-200. An UWA and low-light prime like 35L/50L are good enough.

I'd rather keep it at home than bring it out if I had to use this lens handheld! Monopod highly recommended.

"to be honest I like the 24-105 better, feel a lot more solid and more smoother when zooming, the new lens felt a bit too plasticky for my liking, definitely a tab heavier tho."
lol
