I would love your professional opinions on a dilemma that I am having. I picked up the Canon 24-105 F/4L a week ago but am going through buyers remorse. Everyone (B&H Photo here in NYC, and folks online) seems to love the 24-70 F/2.8L, and feels that the speed trumps all.
I'm shooting with a 30D, and my bag includes the Canon 10-22, Canon 50mm 1.8, Tamron 17-50 2.8, Canon 24-105 F/4L, and an old Tamron 28-200 3.5-5.6. I am an avid amateur photographer who shoots everything from family/kids, Macro, Landscape, and general travel. I shoot in raw and appreciate NOT spending too much time in post process; I prefer to get the highest quality image out of the camera/lens.
My question is, in your opinion should I return the 24-105 for the 24-70?
I know the 70-200 F/2.8L is fantastic lens, should I sell my 17-50 and 28-200 for the rounding out of my kit?
Thanks in advance,
Brad
