My intention was to buy the 24-70 with next years bonus, but the recent purchase of an A3 printer has probably put it just out of reach. Unless there's a dip in the 2nd hand prices next year, I'll probably end up getting a 2nd hand 28-70 F2.8 instead, as they're also highly rated. Nice problem to have though!
Funnily enough although I use the 24-70 lots for work I can't say I'm a big fan of it. Personally I find when focusing using an off centre focal point the sharpness is not good. It's one of the few lenses where focus and recompose works better for me than selecting an outer focal point.
For me I think it's superb in the middle but not so good off-centre.
Of course I might have had a poor quality copy. As it's recently been stolen I guess I'll be able to compare the replacement to the old one and then I'll find out
Funny you should say that, but I've had similar problems with this lens not locking-on in low-light using peripheral focus points...I assumed it was the cameras (D3).
I had to set the shutter release default to 'release' instead of 'focus' to get round it...
