Lense Recomendation

[IPT]

I really love the mkii of the 24-70 and on a ff it's a great combo.

Yup, it a killer lens, but heavy and expensive. Don't get me wrong, it's a superb setup if that's the way you want to roll. For me the extra 35mm of zoom, saving $600 and having IS makes the 24-105 ideal (for me at least).

Many don't worry about IS saying it's wide angle and you don't need it, but I use it all the time. I can handhold landscape images at higher F stops if say I am hiking and didn't lug along a tripod. All depends on your style and intended use .

I do know the MKII of the 24-70 and 70-200 are reputed to be insanely sharp. I just didn't (don't) feel like the 24-105 is any slouch there. I got upgrade-itis a while back and considered getting the MKII lenses. After looking at my images and weighing out the expense and physical weight I opted to keep what I have. Well, I did get one MKII lens, but it's the 500mm one

For me, the 24-70 f2.8 L 1 is my walking around lens. I also have the 70-200 f2.8 L 2 and love it. Its considerable weight is offset by its awesomeness, IMHO. I often shoot on a tripod so the weight isn't too big of an issue while shooting. Between the two I am well covered from 24-200mm.

It is a very nice lens but $$$$$

Canon 24-70mm f/4 L IS is what I am leaning toward.
This is a lens I can afford. I think I will get for my Rebel T1i. I think I will upgrade my camera in the not too distant future.

100mm Canon macro lens is a great non-all purpose macro lens.
