24/2.8 was tested by SLR Gear on 5D to be pretty underwhelming (http://www.slrgear.com/reviews/showprodu.../82/cat/10) but I think this has more to do with the fact that it's a bargain bin lens so the poor results are unsurprising. I think a good modern zoom like 24-105 slays it every day of the week for everything except maybe distortion.
Guess a recently tested Sigma 24/1.8 might make more sense.

Thanks Rover. I agree with you on the 24-105 and must admit I am a little miffed at having spent money I didn't need to spend. I'll take a look a the sigma.
