Canon 24-70 mm f2.8 L vs Canon 24-105 mm f4 L IS
Saturday 08 March 2008 Filed in: Equipment
There is probably no more frequently asked question
on photography forums than what is the better lens
when comparing Canon's two professional mid-range
zooms. These discussions are invariably circular and
pretty much get nowhere, like an old married couple
arguing: "he said..." "she said..." "he said..."
etc,
ad infinitum.
Typically they end up confirming what we already know
at the start: the Canon 24-70 f2.8 L is one stop
faster and somewhat bigger; the Canon 24-105 f4 L has
image stabilization (IS) built into the lens and has
more reach on the long end. They are both built like
tanks. They both cost a similar amount (maybe not an
arm and a leg when you consider their quality, but
the equivalent of a hand and a few toes anyway).
One's tempted to say, "You pays ya money and you
makes ya choice."
But what choice should you make?
