24-70L f/4 my new favourite lens?

[Mr_Canuck]

I picked up a 24-70 f4 last week at London Drugs in Vancouver for $799. It seems like a good deal at that price. I've been putting off having a normal zoom for years but I think with this one I've found my match. For a full-frame L lens it's compact and relatively light, and very well balanced with the 6D. I've been looking for something particularly for outdoor activities, hiking, skiing etc.

I have to spend a lot more time with it but first couple days I've really loved using it. And the macro function so far seems very worthwhile for close up shooting.

Here are a few first shots from this week around Kimberley, British Columbia.

Nice shots, I picked this lens up in October. I like it a lot too, it is my first L lens. Too bad I couldn't wait a tad longer and snagged it up at $799! BTW I really like the snow shoe trail pic.
