Re: Suggestions for a 24-70mm Canon substitute?

I'd go with three primes. The 28 1.8 or 35f2, 50 1.4 or 50 1.8, and the 85 1.8. All three of those lenses will be sharper and faster than the 24-70 II and it should cost you a total of about $900 if you get all of them new.

The 85 1.8 will be vastly superior to the 70mm end of the 24-70 and shooting with all primes will give your photos a distinct look to them and allows you to isolate your subjects more and shoot in lower light.
