24-105 OR 28-75 + 85 1.8? (On a 5D)

What's better on a 5D? I am thinking the 100 macro will make the 85 1.8 less useful. I plan to use the 50 1.4 when low light is needed.

So it comes down to IS + L quality and reach, vs. 2.8 and

i love my 24-105...moreso than the 24-70 i had.

I DO miss 2.8, but the high ISO capabilities of the 5D make up for that

but you have 2.8 or better in all your other lenses, so is it really needed?

I got both: 28-75 f/2.8 & 85mm f/1.8 and love them both. I didn't have any experience with 24-105, but I heard it shines on your 5D. So it's your decision: would u like to have 2 lens (one with f/2.8), or would you be satisfied enough with just one lens with f/4 max aperture & USM ?

it is missed, but not necessary. I rarely need a "fast" lens in that range.

I would buy a 24-70 IS in a heartbeat, however.

I feel like my 28-75 meets that same need. It's not worth the extra $800.

However with the 24-105 I almost break even (maybe $100 difference)
