- The most profesional photogrpaher find the 24....70 range boring, but them again there are plenty of reach amateurs who are ready to pay premium price for such lens. please call me old fashion guy, but I cannot understnad what can you do with IS/VR in this focal range. One is sure the VR/IS will gratly reduce the lifespawn of lens. On the other side there lot of reach guys ready to pay $$[/quote]
What "professional" photographer? They use whatever they have or need to get the job done, which may or may not be that range zoom. And does it make any difference who is buying these lenses?
What can you do with IS/VR? If you have to ask that now, there is no point answering...
IS/VR reducing the lifespan of a lens? By that implication, we might as well go back to manual focus and aperture lenses only. Very little to go wrong then.
