I am looking at getting a Zoom lens ideal for studio portrait work.

Decisions decisions.

So far I have looked at the following:

Canon 24-70
Tamron 28-75
Sigma 24-70.

Are there any others I should be considering? If money was no object, which would you choose?
 
Quite a few recommend the Canon 70-200 (2.8 if moneys no object), optically its very high, and gives nice bokeh. But obviously this would depend on the size of your studio area.

The Canon 24-70 I would say is the best (and will also be the most expensive), but the Sigma 24-70 will probably be better value.

You sure you wouldnt prefer 2 or 3 primes like a 35mm, 50mm, 85mm ?
 
I already have the 50mm + 70-200. I was looking at 24-70 range so I could use it around the house also for the kids and as a general walkabout lens.

The money no longer scares me after buying the 100-400 about 6 months ago.

In which case I think you've just answered your own question. Canon 24-70L is the one to choose (unless you want 2+ lenses to cover that range..:))
 
Agree with Paul, I would get the 24-70L in that case.
 
IF YOU WANT A BNIB CANON 24-70 - THEN SEE MY CLASSIFIED ADS...
 
I guess I knew the answer to this and had done some research in it. I just wanted to make sure others hadnt come across any Tokina or Tamron which outperformed the Canon.
 
Think the only way your going to beat the 24-70L is using primes, but for that your losing the flexibility that a zoom gives you.

The 24-70L is an outstanding lens in image quality and build quality and, despite its price your only paying for what your getting, which should be great results :thumbs:
