In the interest of keeping threads on topic, I wanted to post that some people, for their needs, perceive that the 24-70L is no greater than what the 17-85 can produce, ie here.
Have you used both, and what did you discover?

The one I had was a very good copy and a good performer. However, it is a little on the slow side, not to mention the build difference...

Maybe some will find it just good enough for their needs so as not to receive any greater marginal utility from the purchase of said 24-70L. Taylor
