Hello All,
About 1,5 years ago I bought a second hand Canon EOS 5D I together with a EF 17-40mm. Although the 17-40 is a fine lens, it is not the range I prefer. In my film days I always had a Canon EF 28-70mm f3.5-4.5 II. Actually I still have it, but after 20 years of intense usage, it has been broken.
I would love to own a 28-70mm(a bigger range is welcome too) once again and sell my 17-40mm. I have read some tests, but I cannot make up my mind yet.
Of course I want quality(who doesn't) I will use the lens for landscapes(flat Dutch landscapes and seascapes), buildings and nature. I want as little distortion and field curvature(or none at all) as possible. And weight is important too, like the Canon 24-70/2.8 is too heavy. I have about 500-600 euro to spent.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Kind regards,
Reinier
