Thinking of buying a 6D.. need to replace my Sigma 1705

You are going to have to be more specific. Bumping up to f4 given the same lens? Same format? As written, that statement doesn't make a lot of sense.

I dunno... I was rambling.

Hi guys, thanks for all of the replies. So What ive heard is that the 24-105 is a nice lens, however i "normally' would never get an f4 lens vs a 2.8 but with the FF 6d I will notice more of a 2.8 bokeh so that makes the f4 more appealing. I would like to be able to use the lens for some newborn work without buying a separate 50mm prime.. (however i might still do that) would the nifty 50 work on FF

I still want the 6d and so far the 24-105 looks good...i just have to get over the f4 but also realize ill get closer to something like 2.8?

The 24-105 is a nice option and you can always get the new 50 1.8 STM lens for 125. It's a really nice performer on my 5D3

Thanks Tally, I know this was mostly covered already but will I be getting a stop in difference with the 24-105 so basically 2.8 and when using it more on the telephoto side I will be getting noticeable boken vs the same focal length with either of my 2.8 lenses on crop?

Now i just have to keep paying attention to prices. So far ive found refurn on canon direct.... question though, how would i know shutter count? I couldnt find it anywhere on their listing...

Sometimes its just easier to see it first hand - or at least second hand. A crop Canon 1.6 camera will give the equivalent picture with a 85/1.2 @ 1.2 that a full frame will give with a 135/2 at 2.0. A crop camera using a 17-55 at 55mm @ 2.8 will give the equivalent picture as a full frame camera using a 24-105/4 at 88mm f4.5

Thanks guys and FEChariot, thats perfect, and helps a lot... plus when I need a more pleasing bokeh I can just go to my 70-200 2.8 if the shot would be better with a more telephoto as well... so between the two I should be able to get what im looking for... ALSO when doing newborn (have one coming up first couple weeks in Nov) then I can look at getting the 50mm 1.8 II I believe, is that the one whihc works on FF or does the mark I as well?

All the 50's work on full frame.

Guys, so do you think the combo of the 24-105 and 70-200 2.8 would satisfy my range enough that, if i throw in a 50mm id be good.. OR... should I get a prime or two?

THe answer may be no, because of the focal lenght of the 24-105... but maybe an 85mm or 85+50..... then id-only have those and the 70-200... but with the f4 really being more closer to 2.8 given the FF sensor... then the 24-105 might be good.... I just wanted to ask about the prime
