I am on the other end of the age spectrum (60) but going into a new job where the choice of a retirement plan is TIAA-CREF vs Fidelity. I have a defined pension from another job but do not want to give more money to the broker than I need to. I did not know about the difference between the REIT and TREA so thank you for the explanation. Thanks for your informative post.

Don't have it myself, but when I see what several reviews (I'm not saying the lens performs poor perse, but do look into it), I can seriously imagine that this one might disappoint (. The 50mm otoh is very very agreable. Like that lense a lot. So you may find yourself in a situation with just 1 lens that really pleases you. That's the trouble with the 5Dmk2: there's no more hiding for less than stellar optics:-) I all but threw my old 55-200 away after I mounted it on the 5D...

I'm sure I'll want to get a zoom again, but probably not until next year. I want to see how I manage with my 50 and 28mm primes for a while. Hopefully it will instill some discipline in my technique and I'll learn something from it. Thanks for the comment. I’m sure I’ll want to get a zoom again, but probably not until next year.

If you look at either the 24-70 or the 24-105, they come with both a significant weight (the combo weighs in at 1.8 kilos or so) and matching price tag, though you may be able to pick up the previous version a bit cheaper in the near future.
