Hi I am great believer in trying things out have you considered renting these lenses and giving them a try or going to a shop and trying them there. That way you can see the results and get a feel for the lens too.

I have the 28-70L f2.8 at that thing is sharp! You could buy the newer 24-70L but it'll cost you a heck of a lot more.

24-105 seems to be a love or hate thing from what I've heard and read.

I've been asking the same question for the past month!

I've decided on a 24-70. I've used the 24-105, great lens just wish it was f2.8. The ideal lens would be a 24-105 f2.8 L... I remember reading that it hasn't been made as would kill sales of the 24-70 and the 24-105 (weight would be increased too).

What type of photographs will you be using the lens for?
