Re: Next Camera

Used HDEW for a 24-105 (which I'd think is great lens to have on a 6D).

Prompt service and good response to enquiries. Personally I'd have no problem using them again, in fact when I decide between 6D and 70D I'll use HDEW.

Re: Next Camera

Just digging this thread up with another question that I have on Lens with the 6D

It has been suggested by a couple of friends that I would be better off going for this lens

http://www.digitalrev.com/product/tamron-sp-24-70mm-f/MTAwMDMyMw_A_A?googlebase=1&country=GB&gclid=CI-e-N2xt70CFcuWtAodTDwAFw

..rather than buying the 6D bundled with 24-105?

Can I have peoples thoughts please, keeping in mind that my bag is landscapes?

Thanks in advance

The 24-105 is my lens of choice with the 6D. A brilliant combo.

Better still, if you can afford the extra and don't absolutely need the 105 is the 24-70 f4 L IS - optically better, slightly better balanced on the 6D, and a very useful near-macro mode. Superb lens.

Re: Next Camera

I'd say get the 24-105, the 24-70 lenses are really rather short at the long end (my new standard m43 zoom is a 24-70 equiv, it does not zoom in all that much at all). That is unless you need absolutely the best sharpness, when the 24-70 f2.8 II is the one, but no stabiliser then...

Re: Next Camera

At around £360 bundled price the 24-105 represents outstanding vfm. I don't think the Tamron is worth the extra money over it or a bundled 24-70 F4 or the 24-70 Sigma which is also F2.8 but no IS/OS (also heavy and 82mm filter size). Also given you can push the iso on the 6D unless you are shooting indoors a lot F4 may be all you need.
I was considering getting rid of my 24-105 for a 24-70 probably the Canon F4, possibly the Siggy but in the end decided there wasn't enough of a gain to make it worthwhile. And as Jon says the reach is handy.
