Quite! A LOT of what I do is low light, and I hate shooting above 100ISO. Also, a good deal of my work mandates, or almost, no tripod or monopod, thus my excitement over the 24-70L. I sent a "sample" to Karen that I shot this Spring - hand held at 1/30 and f/3.5. Photography is comprised of compromises. It's a matter of what compromises we're willing to make, and that will vary from individual to individual.
