Looking to upgrade but what?????

[Andy77]

I would really like to purchase the 24-105mm L, but funds dont allow, anybody any idea's what i could buy instead, want something fast, sharp and for general shooting and portrait work

Thanks again

Anybody?

The EF28-135 IS would be the non-L equivalent. It's useable wide open but becomes a much better performer around f/8.

Hi

what's your budget?

Depending on budget it may be worth looking out for a used 28-70 f2.8 L - they tend to go for £450ish and are just as good as the current version of the lens. I use this lens for most of my portraits and I love it, a nice sharp lens than never misses a beat.

I have recently bought this lens and i must say i'm pretty damn impressed with it. The pic below is one of the 1st pics with it. I have not used it much since but will be taking in on hols next week. Bought mine from the bay of e for £235.

If your budget is tight, you could think about a Canon EF 28-105mm II USM f3.5-4.5 Lens at sub £100. [or a 35-105 if really tight at circa £50]

Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 is 1/3 of 24-105 price, or 70-200mm f/4
