Hi all. Im relatively new to the world of photography compared with what appears to be a plethora of experience here. I guess therefore i categorise myself as a hobbyist that merely dreams of being able to enter the realms of engaging in right brain work like this as a full time experience one day.
I currently own a 5D Mk3, 50 1.4, 24-70L 2.8. I shoot anything of visual interest - i cant really say what my preference is. My question is whether it is worth selling my 24-70 to upgrade to mk2 or whether i get the same bang for my buck with the extra reach of the 70-200. My inclination is to the latter - mainly because of the reach, although the weight has been mentioned as being prohibitive (particularly as a travel lens). But i struggle to understand how 860g versus 1500g can really come into the equation??
Your highly valued opinions would be much appreciated.
