These lenses are no doubt your workhorses in any sort of photography. However, it can be a little complex deciding which one to invest in and have as part of your trusty camera kit.
In this episode, I go into detail on what makes each lens great, and why you might want to choose one over the other depending on your style and needs.
Takeaways
- The 24-70mm lens is a favorite among professionals for its sharpness and low-light capabilities.
- F2.8 aperture is excellent for portrait and low-light photography.
- The 24-105mm lens offers more versatility with its extended range.
- Weight and size are significant factors for travel photographers (feather in the cap for 24-105mm).
- The 24-70mm lens has better resale value due to its popularity.
- Consider your primary photography style when choosing a lens--do you need f/2.8?
- The 24-105mm is more affordable and lighter, making it a great option for many.
- Image stabilization can influence the choice between the two lenses.
- Ultimately, the best lens is the one that fits your needs and is with you when you need it.
- If you don't need f/2.8 for your landscape/walking-around lens, save the money, size, and weight and go for the 24-105mm.
