Everyone loves a lens comparison... So, here's another one for you - just in case you haven't seen enough of them on-line lately! Our Canon 24-70 f/2.8L and 24-105 f/4L IS USM.

Both shots are taken with the same settings - I even made sure the focal length matched the best I could, though you will see some difference in framing, even though the Canon 6D was tripod-mounted and locked in place.  Both are shot at 50mm, 1/180 f/8, ISO 100.  These are not processed or cropped at all.  I merely converted the RAW images to JPG, using Lightroom.

IMG_3904 (1st image) uses our 24-105, while 3905 uses the 24-70.  I did this experiment a couple of times and in each case the 24-70 is brighter, though I don't see any obvious differences in clarity/contrast/other...

For those who are quick to say, "Duhhh.. Of course the brighter-rated lens would yield a brighter shot", to me - please note... This was just an experiment... Something to do while my computer was performing a long task... A 'time-waster', if you will...

That's all I have to say for now...
