Which lenses with the 5D mk3?
Razor2012:
What do you guys think, go for the 5D mk3 kit and get the 24-105, or the body with the 70-200 2.8II and maybe the 24-70II when it comes out? Also you can use the 1.4x on the 70-200. I think the latter will cover most of the range. Sometime down the road a wide too.

I'm waiting to check out how the Tamron 24-700 f/2.8 VC does when it comes out next week before I make my decision. I have the Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS II but i'm coming from a cropped camera and my wider zooms don't work with FF. I wish to bloody hell that canon put IS on their 24-70 f/2.8. I use my cameras for video on occasion and I need IS for that. It is also extremely helpful indoors and is nice to take landscapes at 1/15th of a second when a tripod is not available. A 24-70 f/2.8 with IS would have been a dream come true and been perfect for anything. If the Tamron isn't very good, i'll end up with the 24-105 f/4 IS most likely and keep a 50mm and a 28mm prime around when I need a wide aperture.

I haven't seen the specs on the 24-70II, maybe IS?

Because you can afford it, I vote for getting the 70-200II now (instead of the 24-105) and waiting to see whether or not the 24-70II is worth it. The 24-70II does NOT have IS and will use 82mm filters (same as 16-35L II), but its MTFs are better than version I and at 70mm is a match for the 70-200II.

If money is no issue - 5D III with 70-200mm f2.8 IS II is a great combo for now, might not be wide enough for indoor. Based on the MTF chart, the new 24-70 looks very promising.
I prefer 50mm f1.4 prime over 24-105 - pictures are much sharper and produces GREAT bokeh.
