You know Mike, I've had Zero time to compare the 28-70m to the 24-70mm, and really would like to do so. But I simply don't know when & where. Both are sitting together in one of my camera bags.
However, it's you who had suggested the 24-70mm to me, and it's me who's extremely grateful for your shared words. As you know, it was me who had recently stuck the 24-70 lens way outside an airplane canopy & almost lost it from the camera (the plane I speak of is the one at top, center in my post above. This is the plane I had been riding in). And the same lens was almost used for underwater work during this past weekend (indoor swimming). But regardless, I'm super-happy I have it. It's sitting inside my large, Lowepro Super Trekker II bag, which is sitting right beside my beloved dog, Grady.
I might stick the lens out a window at 220mph, but never my dog!
I might go underwater with my lens; but here, Grady will eagerly come too!
In fact, I'll simply give her the camera & let her have at it under the waves!
