Hello Popo and Wim,
Sorry for the late reply. I didn't have the energy last week to visit Photozone, so hence my late reply.
Anyway, many thanks for your thourogh replies. It is always nice to hear from you.
I took the plunge, finally I bought the TS 24mm/3.5 I! I have been thinking for months what lenses to buy. I didn't know until last week. I sold my EF 17-40L, EF 28mm/2.8, and several other items before I could buy another lens. Some time ago we discussed which would be a good new standard zoom for me. You advised me to go for the EF 24-105 IS, but it has quite a bit of distortion at 24mm and that's what I wanted to avoid and it is quite expensive. Others advised me the EF 28-105mm/3.5-4.5 II or the Tamron 28-75mm/2.8.
I took all the advises into account and so I didn't go for the EF 24-105mm, but for the EF 28-105mm/3.5-4.5 II and a EF TS 24mm/3.5 I. The descions was made when I found out that this combo was cheaper than a new or used EF 24-105.
I have not tested it properly yet outside, because of the fog the last couple of days and the lack of energy. But as soon as I feel a bit better and the sky clears than I gonna try the TS lens. I can't wait!!
Thanks everyone for the comments in the last few months, thanks to everyone would replied to my messages. They are always very useful!!
Best wishes,
Reinier
