A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

It's really a toss-up between the 24-70mm and 70-200mm, but I think 24-70 because it's a bit more versatile, the 70-200 is too narrow for most things that you're close up for. 70mm will be good enough for most distance photography, however. Obviously not as good as real telephoto, but you CAN get info then, compare this:

You can't take a picture at a table of your food with your 70-200, you can with your 24-70. Or a picture of your date at dinner. The 24-70 is just more all-round.
