Benny, in your shoes, instead of the 24-105, I would consider getting either:
- 14mm L*
- 16-35mm L*
- 17-40mm L
- EF-S 17-55mm*Be prepared to fork out a lot of dosh for these two, new.
The reason being that the 60D is a cropped-sensored animal (1.6x FOVCF), so the 24-105 at the low end reason isn't going to be that wide at all, more like 38mm. Not exacty great for these wide landscapes you want to shoot.
All of the glass I've listed is superb, even the EF-S one; most reviews I've read say it should be an L lens, the image quality is that good. The downside to that EF-S lens is that if ever you decide to go full-frame Canon (5D3, 6D) you can't use it.
That said, the most affordable of the L lenses above is the 17-40mm. Great value for money, that one but - like all zooms - barrel distortion can be a cunt at the low end. You have to spend a bit of time in post correcting it.
- Also, unless I'm very much mistaken, the EF-S 17-55 isn't weather-sealed.Continuity
