Another quandary

Helpppppppppppppp
Canon EF 24-105 f/4L
or
Tokina Pro DX mkii 12-24
budget limits me pretty much to these two, like a w/a but with only the Canon100-400 would the 24-105 be more versatile?

Re: Another quandary

without a second thought the 24-105 over your other choice, it gives you more range and for many here its the standard walkabout lens

Re: Another quandary

Cheers Ian, that's good enough for me, going on the 1d iv so it'll be lighter too.

Re: Another quandary

nice - you can get some pretty good deals on the 24-105 the only thing that would make me change is when the mk ii (hopefully) 2.8 comes out ;o)

What's a white box London RM special when it's at home?

[Tigger]

Re: Another quandary

I've always assumed a white box to mean its usually split from kits ...so a new lens but cheaper because its not got the Canon box, but does that really matter? I don't think so

Re: Another quandary

Re: Another quandary

Agree with Ian. The 24-105 is the must have lens for me too. Very versatile with good glass too

Re: Another quandary

24-105 still a great lens despite age of design.

£425 from HDEW at moment.

Re: Another quandary

I'm sorely tempted by the 24-105 but worry the 24 won't be short enough on a crop sensor :/

agree on a crop its not that wide, but it really depends on what your interests are - when I had a crop I was using 11-16 Tokina / 24-105 L and was able to get all the shots I wanted
