advice for lenses for canon 5D II?

[chihiro]

Hello,
I would like to hire one of those lenses for canon 5D, for a week.
I will be using it with Sigma 12-24/ for landscape photography and i
am looking for a very sharp lens,deep colours, less distortion,
vignetting.
Can you advice me which of those will be best with 5D markII?
Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 L IS USM
canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM
Thank you

have you considered the canon 17-40 f4?

i've seen some absolutely stunning shots taken with that lens and it can be picked up second hand pretty cheaply too.

Take a look here to see what some people are doing with it: http://www.flickr.com/groups/_canon_17-40_f4l_usm/

thats the only that the store offers.

Canon EF 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 L IS USM
canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM

so i am not considering anything else

With regard to the 24-70mm F/2.8 vs 24-105mm F/4 choice, this was posted yesterday...

As for the 2nd and 3rd lenses you list, this comparison chart might help...

As for the 28-300 it might be a good option if you really don't know what focal length lens you want / need though the image quality wont be as good as the others.

Re-reading your requirements, I would have thought the 24-105mm would be the most use to you.

To complement, either of the 24-> L lenses.

I bought a 5D2 and decided on the 24-105 f4 L and I'm so glad I picked this lens. The IQ is awesome, fast AF and a great length. It's so good I use it regularly on my 7D as well. I wanted a good crossover for my 70-200 f4 L and these two are great together for me.
