I have been saving hard to buy a Canon 24-105 F4 L lens which until recently I saw as a replacement for my Sigma 17-70 and my first “L” lens.
However, after looking at reviews of the 70-200 F4 L I wonder whether I should now consider replacing my current 70-300 IS with this and a 1.4 extender instead.
I mainly shoot portraits, butterflies/flowers and abstract although already have a Canon 100mm Macro lens which is excellent for all these.
What I find with the 17-70 is that I take a majority of my shots at between 50-70mm, the images lack punch and are a bit flat needing work in Lightroom and Photoshop together with a bit of lens creep. I have thought about buying a 17-85 as a cheap alternative (but it can get rubbish reviews) together with the 70-200 F4 and trading in the Sigma and the current zoom.
Any advice?
