Re: Best everyday lens for full-frame camera?

I had the 24-105 on a crop camera because I thought the f/4 would be fast enough for my uses but it turned out it was neither fast enough nor sharp enough. So I replaced it with the new Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 VC and what a difference! The Tamron really is sharp and in low light situations the f/2.8 makes enough difference that I take fewer shots just trying to get a good one. I also have a 70-200 f/4 IS that I'm soon replacing with the 70-200 F/2.8 II for the speed and sharpness. Next on the agenda is a 70D to replace my old 20D. Its too bad that they are all so #$%^ expensive.
