decisions

24-105 f/4 L IS or the 24-70/f 2.8 L...outdoor more then indoor, landscape more then portrait...which would you choose ?

Well I hear IS is bad when using a tripod so its really not that great and also wider is better for landscapes so both lenses are really just as good. Both lenses are great choices so it's really a choice based on price and if you plan on shooting inside some times.

the lens would be used handhald outdoors most of the time

This is for older generation IS. The modern IS lenses detect when a tripod is in use. And anyway all you do is switch the IS off......

If you don't need f2.8 the 24-105 is a fantastic lens. I love mine.

Here's a landscape shot I've taken with it - on a tripod too as it was a long exposure.

24-70 is a great lens but I already had a Tamron 28-75.I wanted the IS and got a 24-105 which is fantastic and the 28-75 is never on the camera. Even at a wedding I use a fast prime and the 70-200 f2.8L IS more.

Buit you can't go wrong with either. Oh and the 24-70 is very heavy in comparison to the 24-105. I like that my lens feels nice and light.
