24-70 f2.8L or 24-105 f4L

I would go with the 24-105. The advantage of the 24-70L IMO is f/2.8, and when I tested them I liked the 24-70L better upto about f/5.6. But you don't need the speed, the 24-105L is an excellent lens and it'll be more versatile with a longer focal length. Also the 24-70L has a little learning curve due to it's weight.

You really can't go wrong with either.

Can you post your tests along with complete conditions so we can see and judge for ourselves?

Thanks

Ah-ha. Brilliant! Thank you. Excellent links too (oh no, now that I'm about to buy one, are they really going to update the 5D in the New Year to give it those couple of features that I would find really useful?)

To me, the weight differene really doesnt even matter all that much, its hardly noticeable.

I took both lenses along to shoot a model outdoors last week, I tried to test them under the same conditions, and the 24-70L gave me better results. I noticed some CA and flare in some of the shots with the 24-105L, but didnt notice any when I used the 24-70L when I shot the model in the same spot. Both have "nice" bokeh, but I would say that the bokeh on the 24-70L is a little nicer (im not particularly picky with bokeh). As far as which lens is sharper? The 24-70L is a little sharper.
