I'm impressed with both the 17-40 L and 24-105 L.
Wondering how these two lenses compare ? What are the pros and cons of each lens, when used on the 5D Mk. 11 ?

Thanks for any input.

Well, one's a UWA zoom and the other's a wide to medium telephoto zoom. Neither costs a fortune, both give good image quality and both are limited to f4. What other comparisons can we make?:rolleyes:

Rather than comparing them, consider them complementary. Both are F4 and there is a bit of overlap but get the one that covers the range you need more.
