oaktree Goldmember 1,835 posts Joined Mar 2007 More info | Jun 09, 2008 11:44 | #23 If I could have only one lens, it would be the 24-105/4L. But since I have more than one lens, my 24-105/4L will be sold in the next couple of months. The 17-55/2.8 and the other lenses I have leave the 24-105/4 in its pouch. Too much stuff, not enough shooting time.

Although I don't think I am a control freak being able to have a bit of control photographically is nice. If I was up to it (the carrying and the money) I would enjoy using one of those Linhof mini view cameras with a digital back.
