What will determine if I buy the 35mm f/2 & the 24-70mm IS f4
Radiating:
Image quality. If they deliver stunning quality then they are a guaranteed purchase, if not then it's a no go.
So far I've been disappointed with the 24 & 28mm IS, while they have better quality than the lenses they replace by far, the way people say they have L image quality is misleading. They have the most entry level L quality and their L counterparts primes are much better.
The 24-70mm IS F4 looks to be a real winner though, it should have the highest IQ for any normal image stabilized zoom and the macro is a nice bonus.
Image quality is the single most important factor above all else for me. Does anyone else feel the same?

With the same money of the 24-70 F4L, I could buy a Used 24-105L and 100mm Macro L.
That says enough about my thoughts on that lens.

Then you'd have to also buy a 50mm 1.4, 24mm 1.4 35mm 1.4. and 85mm 1.8, if the quality is good enough.

Hmmm, I don't connect how wide aperture lenses have to do with a over-priced zoom. ???

Why would non-L lenses that cost less than their L counterparts have better IQ?

Looking at the MTFs, the 24-70 f/4 looks to have IQ better than the 24-105 but worse than the 24-70 II. Given the high price tag of the 24-70 f/4, I'd rather try saving more for the 24-70 II.
