Hmmmmmm

I took delivery of the 24-105mm on Saturday, I bought it on a whim really and it has caused me a dliema with regard to keeping it and if so whether it needs a 5D to do it justice.

I can't really say if it is better than the 17-55 on a crop, there is no doubt that it is sharp as a tack, I think the shot below show it's potential but does the L build and extra length win over the width and speed of the 17-55 I just don't know.

What I can say is that to me it was worth it just for the picture below but I'm sat here scratching my head as to what to do with it
