On the other hand, the 70-200 can cover anything between 70mm and 320mm on those camera's and upto 448mm with a 1.4TC.
Maybe I should sell the 24-105, but it's such a nice walkaround on the 5.
Ahhh... see? I am driving myself nutters. |
Personally, I think I would use the 24-105 on the 5D and the 70-200 f/2.8L on the 30D. The 17-40 is equiv to a 28-64 on the 30D, so the 24-105 is wider and longer on the 5D and the crop of the 30D makes the 70-200 equiv to 320 on the long end. This would maximize your focal range fov to 24 - 320, then you can add a TC as necessary for even more reach. The 17-40 would be totally covered by the dual camera combo.
You could then sell the 17-40 without sacrificing anything, unless the 17-40 provides another benefit that you need.
