I recently shot a wedding and used my brother's 24-70 on my 20D—up until then, my next lens was going to be the 24-105 IS. The keeper rate with this lens was outstanding! Fast, accurate, low-light focus made the difference. But it always comes back to the application—as a walk-around, the extra reach would be nice—and then there's the IS. The ability to shoot at 1/15th of a second hand held can be priceless at times.
