I've just bought a 24-105mm to replace my 28-135mm. That decission is done and dusted. I will now sell my 28-135mm to raise funds to pay off part of the 24-105mm (yes a small part... but every little helps!)
I also now have a Sigma 15-30mm lens... which i've never really used enough... but when I do im not sure im all that happy with the shots anyway... the 15-20mm end produces some whacky distortions and I almost feel its too wide for my needs which is mainly landscape. I feel the new 24-105mm will cover most walkabout travel situations... and I know I would like something wider... but a bit of me is just not sure about keeping the 15-30mm.
So 1st Question... should I sell ithe 15-30mm and put the funds toward my 24-105 also... I dont actually need something that wide for the moment as with my wedding and honeymoon coming up I wont have that much time for photography... we will then prob be moving house which will involve selling two flats and buying a house so again I dont see much time for photography in the few months after that either... Infact prob up to christmas!
Then once everythings over... I was thinking a 20mm prime might be the ideal tool for landscapes... although im worried I'll miss the zoom flaxability... Has anyone traded a wide angle zoom for a fixed focal length 20mm... what do you think???
I guess the two lenses I was thinking of where the canon 20mm f2.8, or should I think about the 17-40mm L f4... which isn't too badly priced for an L series lens and gives me a better wide angle range than the sigma does? Or can you suggest any other good lenses? I should say i'm using a full frame 5d!
