There was a chance to compare with 24-70 f 2,8, and at 2,8 24-85 even provided a better picture, so it made sense to overpay by $30,000 to flaunt its size and a gold ring on it. generally, if your budget is tight and you don't care about fashion, pick up this lens; you won't be sorry. Certain benefits Everything has already been mentioned, and the lens is good in all situations, universal, and has both macro and useful focal lengths. Cons: Wide-angle lenses are available for this, not for landscape photography.
