Stuck in the middle, 24-70 or 24-105???

->> Im stuck in the middle between getting a 24-70 F2.8 or the 24-105 F.4 Any advice one can offer would help greatly. I have read reviews on both and they both seem great. I like that the 105 has IS but i like the F2.8 on the other.

Thanks

->> How often are you going to need IS when shooting with a 24-105 lens?

->> I wouldn't trade my 24-70 2.8 for anything, it's a good general purpose lens and I love the 2.8. It with the 70-200 2.8 are perfect. Add the 16-35 2.8 and you have most ranges covered pretty well.

->> The 24-70 is arguably the sharpest zoom made by canon. Depending upon what you are shooting, you can always physically move closer rather than zoom. I also have no doubt that the extra stop will come in handy sooner than you think.

->> The 24-70mm is awesome and is my usual everyday lens. I had considered the 24-105mm when I was buying mine, but the 2.8 is well more worth it than the 105mm and IS. If you have the 70-200mm there is no real decision to make.
