One can scratch its head as why a 24 and a 28 mm gets IS and not the 24-70…

If the price is reasonable (which I doubt that it will be), this may be my next street lens.
As I wrote, 2000 euro won't be a reasonable price.The price is likely to be around 2000€. The old 24-70 was much cheaper, but it was an older design (dating to 2004, I think).
As to "street lens", the f/2.8 zooms are big and heavy... (although the Tamron 28-75 is actually much more compact and a third of the weight, but only 28mm) and I usually find that 24mm is not wide enough. Most of the travel pictures I presented lately were shot with a 16-35, for example (the night pictures were shot with a 35mm f/1.4).
With respect to what constitutes a street lens to ME, I'll be the judge of it thanks.

Even without the IS, the new 24-70 is very interesting. I am looking forward to seeing the results of some real life testing. If the price is reasonable (which I doubt that it will be), this may be my next street lens.
Bart,
Given the new 24-75 2.8L improvements, where does this leave the 24-105 L IS? I see about half of the wedding photographers using it compared to the 24-70. Now, I wonder if more will upgrade.
