    after spending a year with my gear, noticed the kit lens is pretty much useless...
    but buying a kit is cheaper than buying the body only =(

    NOT all pics with boarders make them nice, only some...
    and only online viewing looks good, u will unlikely to see photos printed with frames

    I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I've been contemplating the idea of trading in my 24-105 f/4 L for a 24-70 f/2 L. What do you guys think?

    Right. My bad. Thanks. Pulled the numbers off the top of my head. Should have double checked.

    depends on what lens u have in your system; but 24-70 is better since it has lower f-stop and is great for anything

    I agree with noasian. I am thinking about the same lens aswell. At the moment I am using Primes only 35mm f/2, 50mm f/1.4, 85mm f/1.8), but thinking about something I can use if I don't want to carry all my primes with me. the 24-70 f/2.8 is a good solution. It gives me enough Wide angle on my FF cam and a slightly zoom.
    My 5D cries for some new lenses ^^

    @eggrollboy: What body do u got? The photos look amazing.

    Well yeah, but to edit a photo to that level you need to have a solid base photo ^^
    I am asking because the 16-35 on most cams has a little soft focus...

    the bottom two looks alright, the one above looks over-exposed esp. on the whites

    Thanks.

    Well currently, the 24-105 L is the only good lens I have at the moment. So I'm pretty much at the point where I'm just starting to build my setup. I just got back from the LA Auto Show and was stunned I could shoot at 1/5 and still get razor sharp shots with the 24-105. Decisions, decisions.

    I'm using the Canon EOS 5D MKII. I love the high ISO capabilities!

    The top one is definitely done on purpose. I wanted that cross processed look. :D
