I'm looking to buy a new general walk-around type lens and have narrowed down the hunt to the following three lenses:
Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM
Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM
The 17-55 is appealing because of the image stabilizer and the f/2.8 which would come in handy because I take a lot of indoor photos in various relatively low light settings. However, the 24-105 and 24-70 attract me because of their longer range. Basically, I am looking for a lens with an image stabilizer, f/2.8 capability, and a range comparable to the 24-105 or 24-70 lenses.
For my personal uses, having multiple lenses to take on this task would defeat the purpose of having a general use walk-around type lens. I haven't seen anything of this nature in Canon's lineup so far, but I'm curious to see if they will be offering something that will meet my requirements in the near future (within the next 12 months). Anybody have the inside word on Canon's upcoming releases?
Also, for those of you who have any of the above three lenses, I hear so much about their pros, I was wondering if anyone would have any cons they have experienced that they can share...
