I've been tossing up between A. Canon 24-70/2.8L - Around $1800 AUD B. Canon 24-105/4 LIS - Around $1800 AUD C. Tokina 28-70 2.8 ATX Pro - Around $350 AUD D. Tokina 28-80 2.8 ATX Pro - Around $500 AUD I want it primarily for portraits and weddings. Ratings on Fred Miranda (ie users rather than lense tests) rate all 4 very well. Some dramas with the Tokina 28-70 with the aperture sticking so I'm pretty much ruling it out. Cost wise option D. Tokina 28-80 2.8 ATX Pro looks very appealing. But being a complete snob and only trusting Canon quality, service and backup I'm finding it difficult to put my finger on the buy it button. Can anyone convince me otherwise ? I'm thinking that one of these will be really handy inside churches etc... So lowish light will be a concern. I'm teaming it with a 1DMKII so focusing and noise shouldn't be too much of a problem.
