So as the title suggest I'm going FF and I just wanted to know what are my options, as far as I know I'm limited to the 24-70 and 24-105 (not that i;m saying they are bad options), BTW If anybody knows how the new tamroon 24-70 IS (are whatever tamroon calls it) handles I would like to know
If you thought about something else I would be happy to hear.

Don't make any purchase just yet. At least wait until the Tamron 24-70 and 24-70II and see how they perform first.

I think the canon 24-70 mk2 is too expensive for me, unless it will drop 700$ from it's current price, and I highly doubt that will happen.
as for the tamroon it looks like a good option, any idea when will it be released? the only thing, and maybe it's just me but tamroon always seemed to me like the worst choice of all the 3rd party lenses.

Can't say you are wrong about Tamron. Their lenses are normally priced the lowest compared to Canon and Sigma and when it comes to lens purchase, you really do get what you paid for imo. Still I would wait ;)

you're probably right, and anyway I'm not buying it yet the only thing is that if I buy the 24-105 as a kit lens it knocks off about 250$...
