I actually have a 70-200 f4 is and a 50 1.8.
I was thinking about the 24-70 in order to have a complete equipment.
I also thought about selling the 70-200 and getting a 24-105/f4, don't really know.
To be honest i prefer to keep what i have and get the 24-70.

What you guys think :) ?

I say keep the 70-200, cause if u sold it and got a 24-105 u would already have a 24-70 right? Imo just keep what u have and get a 24-70 or u can just give me the 70-200 ;D

Yeah i meant:

option 1: keep the 70-200, get the 24-70
option 2: save money, sell the 70-200 and get the 24-105. --> just a random idea, i really like the white beast :D

thanks for your input.

Problem is i am lacking an all around lens which would be the 24-70 :D

But for my kind of photography(90% of my pics are portraits) i should probably go with the 135 mm/f2.
Too bad i am too stupid to do so ^^, best choice would be: sell the 70-200, buy 135/f2 + 24-70.
But i like that white cannon too much :D

i would go with option 1
24-70 + 70-200 is great
i have that atm, and next on my list is the 135 f/2
24-105 cant really compete, its a great walk about / touristy lens tho

24-70 + 135 imo.

Sell the 70-200 F4.

the 24-70L is a superb walk-around lens. You can do practically naything with 24-70 + 70-200 though...
