Of the choices listed, I'd pick the 24–105L. When traveling, probably 80–90% of my shots are with that lens, and I go wide to the 16–35L more often than I go long to my 70-300L. I mostly go long when atop something tall (e.g. the Eiffel Tower, St. Peter's...) or when I'm taking a side trip to shoot wildlife (e.g. bald eagles with stacked teleconverters and manual focus at 1260mm). It isn't the sort of lens where I frequently say, "Ooh, I wish I had that with me". YMMV. | |
