Honestly - I've no idea about any of those lenses but my immediate question would be how much do you use the longer end of the 70-300 at the moment?

Just what I was going to ask!!! If you don't think you'd miss the 105-300mm length then that OK. That's a lot of length to lose though.

if you don't need longer than 105mm or wider than 24mm you won't regret buying the 24-105mm , the only problem is 24mm isn't very wide on a crop body, on a FF body it's plenty wide enough

Ah thats part of my problem i find the 70-300 a teaser its not really long enough ive took a lot of pics with this lens that need cropping hence losing image quality, because of this i find im using it less and less

Clearly the answer is to buy two new lenses

2i dont think the wife would be pleased with that she already says losing money is my hobby

Would it not be better then to try and get a longer length so you can take the photos you want?

 

[swag72]

What are the majority of photos you take?

That's a good point - what is it about the 24-105mm L IS USM that makes you want it over a different longer zoom?

Is it the L aspect?
