Re: Which lens should I get? Canon 24mm 2.8 IS USM vs Canon 28mm 2.8 IS USM

I didn't check the lens quality of the Canon 24mm vs. 28mm, but all things being equal, I would recommend the 24mm. Years ago I owned a 28mm lens and found myself often wishing I had opted for a wider lens.

Or--and this would be a better choice when you can afford it--the 16-35 f/4L IS would eliminate the issue and open up a vast array of shooting possibilities. I've shot a ton of low light assignments with this lens and find I really don't miss the earlier f/2.8 aperture.
