Hey everyone, I did some comparison shots between the two lenses to compare sharpness and bokeh, and field of view.
There is no extra enhancing on these jpegs, just DLO in DPP for all shots (that seemed fair to have each lens optimized to its potential). All shots were at each lens' widest aperture. On the Santa toy, focus point was the mouth, the book in the very center, and the portraits were all on one of the eyes.
Some interesting obsevations: the 24-105 is sharper than the 28-70 at widest focal lengths, but might be a draw at the longest focal lengths.
The 28-70 is known to be wider than its adverstised range, something like 25 or 26 to 65mm (?). This is evident as the 24-105 is noticeably tighter in all shots. I added a pic of the 24-105 at 24mm, and you'll see it's only slighter wider than the 28-70 at 28mm. I also added a pic frome the 70-200mm f/2.8 at 70mm to have a third variable, and it's closest to the 24-105. The 24-105 might be tighter than advertised, or the 70-200 could be wider...
With the bokeh, both lenses have the onion ring look, so basically a draw there. With the 24-105's tighter FOV, the bokeh balls look the same size at 70mm as the 28-70's, but larger at 105mm.
So, download or have a look at the comparisons and let me know what ya think:
