Greetings Earth dwellers!!

Now then.

I should know better than to even ask this, and I do appologise for the question, but..............

I own the Canon ef 24mm f2.8, the ef 50mm f1.8 MK1, and the ef 85mm f1.8.
Big deal.

A few days ago, I tested these three lenses against my wifes 24-105, and was quite shocked to see that the zoom equalled the primes in quality, in fact, it looked better.
Now, I always KNEW primes beat zooms. Didnt need an "L" prime to be great. Or maybe not..... Not these days.
Perhaps I'm still stuck in the 1970's? Maybe.

If YOU owned these 3 primes, and found the coverage good enough but found the lens swapping a bit inconvenient, would you sell all three, (financial constraints here), and buy a 24-70 L
Note I say a 24-70, NOT a 24-105. The latter is a bit too slow for me.

I gather that the 24-70 is better than the 24-105 in some ways, and therefore, quite a bit better than those 3 primes. But is this true? Is the weight a problem?

As I said, I shouldnt even ask. I should know.
Maybe I do.
Maybe I just want some extra input.
Maybe I need valium.

Hello?
