I am currently using Canon 24-85 USM for my street photos (canon 6D) and I am actually happy with it. However, I still want the IQ to be improved a little bit. So I need IQ, lightweight and zoom range. Here are my photos so you can understand what I need: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dzunglv/
After a while of searching, I narrow down my options to 3 candidates:
Canon 24-105STM: lightweight, cheap and 105mm tele reach. Good IQ. However a bit slow at tele end (5.6).
Canon 24-70/4L: lightweight, great IQ. Great build for my eyes. Only reachs 70mm for tele and a bit expensive considering it is only 4.0 aperture maximum.
Tamron 24-70/2.8: VC, great IQ and 2.8 (I know I don't need 2.8 that much for street photos but It can be useful occasionally). However, the lens is a bit heavy. Also tele reachs only 70mm.
So, that is what I've found up to now. I also want to hear more comments from you guys about my decision, espescially from whom have used those 3 lenses.
I'm surprised you haven't included the 24-105L in your shortlist. Sure it's not one of the latest models but it's a stop faster than the 24-105 STM and only slightly more expensive. 3-stop IS vs 4-stop is not likely to be an issue, and USM vs STM is possibly even a slight advantage. F/4 vs f/5.6 is a big benefit for throwing those backgrounds out of focus.
Sure! I don't know why I forgot it when I was typing this thread. Thank you. So I get 4 candidates.
I also heard that many street photographers out there were using Canon 24-105L. Maybe it is an older lens thereby have a lot of users.
The Canon 24-105 STM lens is the least sharp on your list, and your 6D does not have the hybrid AF system to take advantage of STM lenses. It's only geared for newer model cameras mostly cropped sensor cameras. So I suggest you cross it off your list. the 24-105L is your best bet IMHO.
