• Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 IF EX DG HSM

• Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di LD Aspherical

• Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM

• Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM

Wish list:

• Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS II USM

Hands down the Canon 24-70 f2.8 out of the four choices I think.

The sigma and tamron 24-70 lenses trade up a lot, but are still good lenses. I did a lot of research on the 24-70 f2.8 line-up a little while ago (between canon, nikon, tamron, sigma)... personally I think you're breaking 1k so don't settle for extra CA's, less sharpness, and other worse image quality features.

I agree, it's the only lens in your list I have owned, so maybe I'm biased, it's a good lens

However it's massive and heavy, that's why I got rid of it. I have no idea about the other lens' on the list, but it's so heavy it hurts your shoulders on a full day out on a large ff dslr. Also for the money I prefer primes. I would have a 24 2.8, 50 1.8, 85mm 1.8, in my bag over any zoom in this price range

24-105?

too slow.. imagine shooting your kid at f4?

im having trouble on 2,8 135mm

^ dis

yeah the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM

Hmm so... I... End... Up... buying 85mm F1.8
