Phoenixkh a mere speck More info Post edited over 5 years ago by Phoenixkh. | Dec 07, 2017 17:30 | #17 Bassat wrote in post #18511720  I started with 135L & 200L II primes. I thought a zoom would be more convenient, so I sold them and bought a 70-200 2.8. Massive beast. That didn't last long before I downsized it to an f/4. Then I missed the aperture of the primes. So I repurchased both the 135L and 200L II. I had a 24-70 2.8... for about a week. That was the about the fastest lens I ever flipped. It took me about an hour to realize it was a compromise on both fronts. Not as fast as even my consumer primes, and a tiny zoom range, comparatively. Big and heavy on top of that. I imagine I'll eventually get tired of carrying heavy zoom lenses but I'm not quite there yet. I do agree with the range of the 24-70. When I was shooting a crop camera, I started with the 15-85 and had good success with it, even though others hated it. I bought a 17-55 f/2.8 for the speed and used it around the house a few times with our new kitten but the range really bugged me. I ended up using my 100L macro much more.

Couldn't be happier, if there's an IQ difference between the prime and the zoom, I don't see it.
