I just got myself a second hand 24-70 f/2.8L, I already own a 24-105 f/4L. On doing some tests and comparisons I found that 24mm on the 24-70 isn't quite as wide as the 24mm on the 24-105, even though the metadata is showing 24mm on both lenses. They are about 3 or 4mm off from each other.

Has anyone else noticed this or could shed some light on how this is possible?

You might find the 24-70 wider.
