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.

24-105 for a long time was my "only take one" lens. If I was shooting at like conventions or something and I didn't feel like carrying a bunch, didn't need super shallow depth of field, and could use that extra bit of telephoto when I needed.
It is the walk-around lens. It's also great for video.
I have thought about using it for events. Would it still be good indoors, or is a 2.8 or lower needed?
Especially where more modern cameras can handle cranking up the ISO higher without completely cooking the picture in low light. f/2.8 to f/4 is a loss of a single stop of light, it is now a relative non issue to bump up to compensate. Which even then, also worth considering how your images will be viewed. Even if there's some noise, if how you share your images means someone is only going to see it as a 3x2" post on their phone screen, isn't gonna matter a lick. You can even miss focus a little bit if that's the case lol. Only other photographers are going to look that close.
