Not what most people think of as telephoto. 24-70/24-105 are standard full-frame kit lengths.

I returned a 70-200 after trying to lug it around for 4 hours. It's just too tiring and too silly for general use, and it's certainly not inconspicuous if you're going to be in public.

I have a 24-105 f/4L that I use for day time and a 35 f/1.4L that I like to use at night. I do own a few other lenses but the two mentioned make up 99% of my usage.

Each to their own! I love my 70-200 f/2.8, and it is pretty much my every-day lens. Sure it is heavier than I'd prefer, but damn it makes beautiful images.

I love my 70-200, and 90mm macro. I literally never use my 24-70 anymore. Should probably sell it.
