I wouldn't worry too much. Testing differences many times in real life applications can't be seen. The 24-105 lens is great. But I expect Canon will be updating it soon.
Have you, or anyone else on this site, had experience with a Canon 2x Teleconverter? I have a Series 1 1.4 teleconverter that beats the new ones (Series 3?) out there, but would like to get a good 2x version.

I have been shooting for a long time, longer than many of you have been alive, although I know there are other codgers on this site. With the cameras nowadays being able to go to high ISOs and maintain quality, the debate over 2.8 versus 4.0 is, for me, no longer viable, although obviously there are depth of field considerations that may warrant the 2.8. I like the new 24-70/4.0 L lens. At that focal length, IS is not a major issue as it is in longer lenses.
I totally hear you and you're in good hands. No worries.

It would never hurt you to keep both, esp. if you like to do any outdoor birding or nature photography. So I'm sure you will be happy with it if outdoor birding is something you like.

Are you trying to hijack this thread? We are discussing the Canon EF 24-70 f4L lens vs the Canon EF 24-105mm f4L lens. Try asking your question as a new thread, or use the search function. Search "Canon 2X Teleconverter" and you will probably get your answer.

I probably read the same reviews, which is why I bought the 24-70, but now that I have the 24-105 I do like the extra reach. Saves me from having to reach for the 70-300 as much.
In March, when I bought the 6D B&H had a deal going of the 6D and 24-105 for $1999. Normal list on the 6D at that time was $1899. It was like buying the camera and getting the lens for $100. Couldn't turn it down. Otherwise I would have just bought the body and stayed with the 24-70.

Another "remedy" is to put the 24-105 on the 70D (keep the 70D, don't sell it). Then use the other lenses on the 6D. The 70-300 could actually do double-duty between the two bodies. Not a bad solution, actually, and I just saved you at least $2500!
You're welcome. ;-) :thumbup:

I just bought the 6D with the 24-70 f/4L after a thorough research on its iq vs the 24-105. I really like this lens for the macro capability on the fly. It's said to be equivalent to 80mm and it's .7x magnification. I don't have a dedicated macro but get frustrated using my ext tubes. So the macro coupled with the iq test results of this lens were the deal breaker for me. I already own the 70-200 f4, so I've got no overlap issue. Remember, the 24-105 is really an old lens designed years ago. The newer lenses have so much better technology built in them. Keep the 24-70.

I pretty much agree with you. I am going to keep both even though I am selling the 70D.
