The 24-70 f/2.8 is a superb lens. The only thing you should consider very carefully is whether you want to carry around a HUGE and HEAVY monster of a lens as a walk around. You will know the first time you use it for a few hours whether this will be a problem or not.


Please proceed, Governor.

I'm am also just learning and I just purchased the Canon 70-200f2.8L IS lense for my
20D. I'm excited to see how it does with my sons ice hockey league.

Yesterday, I tried using it in church for my son's grandparents lunch and didn't have good luck with it. I'm thinking of added the Canon 24-70L f2.8. Any thoughts.

I've also had mine for only a few weeks and have found it does not solve every low light situation. IS is great and does work but I'm still learning what is the best combination of shutter, f-stop and ISO to get the best chances of sharp images when zoomed at 200mm.
