Time for new general zoom - Canon 24-70L ?
Discussion
I've recently been brave enough to do the pics for 2 friends weddings. In the first case i was the ONLY photographer (gulp!) and for the second i was taking some more candid shots to compliment the pro they had hired for the day.
In the first case i used my 50mm/f1.4 and i (and more importantly they) were chuffed with the results.
For the second wedding i wanted more flexibility with the shots, so i used my 28-135. However the results were dissapointing, lacking sharpness and contrast despite having a lovely bright sunny day. I was expecting a slight trade off against the 50mm prime, but certainly not such a marked difference ;(
Anyhow, the upshot is that i'm after a better quality walkabout lense. The current favourite is the 24-70 f2.8L. Anyone got experience of this lense? Will it close the gap in quality on the 50mm?
Edited to add - I see i've posted this on the wrong forum - doh!
