i've been doing some reading on the canon 5dm3 and have few a few time about lens distortion, what i understand its not the best lens for taking picture close to buildings.a lot of the pictures i take are of graffiti, so on wall and the like, most of the time quite close and some times stich them together, am i wrong in this or is there another lens i should check out instead???
edit: would the 17-40 f4 L usm be better???
thanks

"Some of the main complaints of the 24-105 are slight distortion at the 24 and pincussion at 150, however as I said, for most everyone, unless you shoot architecture and doing a lot of "photo stitching" then, that really isn't that big of a deal for 99% of everyday shots. The 24-70 is/was a very nice lens, but image quality, doing side by side shots in my studio for commercial work, when I tested them, I didn't see any appreciative difference between the 2 lenses to justify the extra weight and strain I would have to go through to use it and hand hold it (with my 2 camrea system). Dont fret about purchasing either lens."
