The new 24-70L provides great image quality suitable to professional standards. However, if you are thinking of replacing your 28-70L or dumping your prime collection, think again. You may already have all you need.

The two expensive L-zoom lenses predictably outperformed the consumer quality EF 28-135mm lens on many tests. However, the differences in image quality that end up being visible in a print are surprisingly small.

The 24-105 has definitely taken its place in my bag, replacing the 24-70 as my general purpose medium focal length zoom.

Given that the old 28-70mm has long been considered a stellar performer — one of the most highly regarded mid-range fast zooms — to have it trumped so decisively by the new 24-70mm is quite a surprise.
