i've done a ton of research on what to replace my kit lens with and here are the choices:
canon 24-105mm f4L
OR
canon 24-70 f2.8L
i'm leaning towards 105 but wanted to get feedback from pros. what i like about 105 - IS, not as heavy, slightly cheaper & more zoom.
there are also rumors that the 70 is being updated in 2010 to have IS, so i'm guess the old ones won't be worth as much, should one try to sell it later.
the one big factor i like about the 70 is it's lower f-stop which helps in low light situations.
anyway, i'm including a poll so people can react. please provide your feedback as i need to purchase something in the next week or so, before my next trip. lastly, if you think there is something better, let me know.
my total budget on this lens is $1500.
