"I shoot primarily landscape photos. I am by no means an expert but a novice who's learning as I go along. After much online research, I've decided to open my pocketbook and purchase a Canon 24-70mm lens. Most likely the lens that will be on my camera 90% of the time. I like the IS feature on the Canon lens. So.... for me, a novice, which lens would be suitable for me and why. The Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM or the Canon 24-70mm f/4L IS USM. Thank you."
Hi Charles,
Thanks for your question on which is the best version of the Canon 24-70mm zoom lens to choose for landscape photography. It's an interesting question and I'll do my best to help you choose.
First, I'll assume that you'll be shooting with a full frame camera and that you aren't dealing with a crop factor. That would make the 24-70mm have too narrow of an angle of view-an equivalent view as a 38-112. If not, and you're shooting with one of the APS-C "crop" Canon DSLR cameras, the 24-70mm lens would be a bad choice. Then, you'd be better using the wider angle 17-40mm or 16-35mm f/2.8 for shooting landscapes.
