When shooting in the studio environment I rotate between the 70-200 and 24-70 on my 5DmkII, It works perfectly for my needs.

I like my Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 for its versatility.. My Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro for tight head shots and my Canon EF 50mm f/1.4..

I hope I'm not hijacking this thread but I've been looking at the Tamron 28-75 myself, I read nothing but great reviews on it. Do you feel this lens needs OS/image stabilization when you shoot with it? I'm on the fence between the Tamron and the new Sigma 17-70mm with IS.

Any focal length can benefit from IS, in letting you hand hold in low light. Longer FL benefit more from IS in masking your unsteadiness even at higher shutter speeds.

'Need to have'...photographers have been shooting without IS for hundreds of years, so 'need' is relative. They used tripods more, before IS!

Been out of pocket for a while and missed all the new replies.

Enrigonzog, If we're talking studio, you've already lost half the reasons for needing IS. I used to have a sharp Tammy 28-75. Kinda wish I would have kept it. Never felt like it was lacking because it didn't have IS but I didi wish it was a little wider.

24-70 since I shoot mainly full body portraits indoors.
When I get the chance, I like to use the 70-200/2.8

I agree. I never use IS lenses, I've never suffered because of it.

Looking through my metadata on my past images, I find the 24-70 2.8L is my most used lens both in the studio and on location. Second would be the 85 1.2L, and next the 70-200 2.8L.
