Just wondering, if you had a choice of having only one lens for your camera, which one would you keep and why?
All my lenses serve a purpose but there is none that I would never give up.

It would be easier for me to pick the one lens that I would get rid of first. Since I have a 24-105 f/4, my 24-70 f/4 would be the only one I would be willing to part with. I would not even consider getting rid of any of my other ones.
Just curious, why would you choose the 24-105 over the 24-70? The reason I ask is because I was thinking of trading my 24-105 for the 24-70 f/4 because it's supposed to be sharper edge to edge, have less distortion and the almost macro built in if needed. I know you lose 35mm length but I can use my 100-400 when I need extra reach. Is there something I should be concerned about?

If the house was on fire and I had to grab just one camera and lens on my out of the house, the lens would be the 70-200 2.8
If my house was on fire I would not even look for my cameras. THe only 2 things I care a bout are my wife and myself. Everything else can be replaced. My favorite lens is the one I haven't bought yet.

The 100-400 II would be my keeper.
Sorry, double post.

Nikon 24-70 f2.8. Covers almost everything I need. Fast, sharp, low distortion, almost no CA. Almost never leaves the front of my D750.

The 24-70mm would leave a gap in coverage of 30mm between it and the 100-400mm II.
Rent to try the 24-70mm f/4 before you switch to it.

There really is no need to have every possible focal length covered, though I am sure lens manufacturers would like people to think there is.

My Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary because I like to take pictures of animals and other things I can't get close to.
