A shooting report in the new

Looks like it's good in the 35-70 range but not so good at either end.

Is it possible to put an end to a form of human behavior which

The question for me is should I replace my recently purchased 28 - 135 IS
with the new 24 - 105 IS L series lens. I am not unhappy with the 28 - 135
but would like the fixed F4 over the entire range compared to the changing
28 - 135. Would not be happy if the optical quality was lower on the 24 as
opposed to the 28. Any views?

regards
