Looks like Sigma is going to have a 24-105 2.8 in September, which can be very exciting for me. it will compete to the Canon monster.
It is likely to replace my 24-90 in studio portrait, the extra reach will be good.

The Sigma starts at 28mm, not 24mm. I suppose it's to keep it smaller.

you are correct, bummer

But is the loss of 24mm really a showstopper? 

The way I see it, I'd happily pick this 28-105mm and grab either the small Sigma 24mm or something similar for wide angle needs. My point is that there are plenty of small wides available, but not many longer options on the small side of things. The smaller is perhaps the Sigma 90mm, or the Panasonic 100mm

I probably use 24 more than 100, but I will probably try it.

The Canon lens is quite amazing, and good in photos and video. but it is not a carry with your lens, too big and too heavy.

I do so many celebrity shoots where the whole shoot takes 20-30 min and have to get 5 looks, there is no changing the camera or lens when tethered.

If I'm already hovering over the abyss with my heels, but 28 mm is still not enough, that's it for the photo. Either way... On the other hand, with the 60 mpix of the SL3 I can still crop to 105 mm equivalent. 😉

But not everyone here has a SL3. I have a SL2-S / S5II combo, and no interest for the SL3.

What would be the resolution of a crop corresponding to 105mm? 90mm equivalent crop is 6MP. Also, the noise of a 105mm equivalent crop would be several stops higher than the non-cropped image.

If I crop a photo taken with a focal length of 90 mm to 105 mm, the resolution of the 60 mpix of the SL3 is reduced to 6 mpix? Sorry, but I don't understand the calculation now.

But what I wanted to say, ironically, was that the foot zoom may reach its limits at some point. Namely when I can no longer take a step back. That's why the 24 mm of the 24-90 is more important to me than the 105 mm of an upcoming 28-105.

If you shoot with 28mm and crop to 90mm equivalent, you get a 6MP image. I assumed that was what you meant in post #125, but apparently, you meant cropping to 105mm at 90mm focal length.

Thanks!

BTW, I used to have a 24-105 but sold it. I will give it another try.

My new 24-105 is pretty sharp, not bad at all, but my Leica 24-70 is better (better contrast and sharpness in the edges).

The difference may not matter to some, but the versatility and lower weight may matter.

Wenn Sie mit 28 mm fotografieren und auf 90 mm Äquivalent zuschneiden, erhalten Sie ein 6MP-Bild. Ich nahm an, dass es das war, was Sie in Post #125 meinten, aber anscheinend meinten Sie, auf 105 mm bei 90 mm Brennweite zu beschneiden.

Right, that could have been misunderstood. In fact, I meant the 90 mm of my SL 24-90.

I almost bought the 24-105, but opted for the 24-90 again. Just got it yesterday after having been without one for over a year. Among other great attributes, the bokeh at 90mm's is beautiful. I forgot how round the bokeh balls are from this lens.

I wonder how the bokeh from the 24-105 rates vs the Leica's.
