Both are F4 so that part really wouldn't matter between the too. The only thing would be IS on the 24-105 and the extra MM of the lens. Gear List | Feed Back | My Site

Would a 17-40mm suffice? dtufino wrote in post #14277972 I was also considering a 24-105 lens..... oh the camera i have are 5D Classic and 7D I have both the 17-40 and the 24-105. The 17-40 is my go to lens for tight spaces and landscapes, and the 24-105 is my walkabout lens .. streets and people shots. I like them both.

Apr 16, 2012 23:39 | #6 Maybe look into a 24 or 28mm prime? What is the lighting like at these mountain biking events? Lots of trees creating shaded areas? If so, you are probably going to want a fast lens to maintain high sutter speed and/or low ISO With the impending forum closure, please consider joining the unofficial adjunct to the POTN forum, The POTN Forum Facebook Group
