35-150mm f2-2.8 or 24-70mm f2.8

I am just curious what the rest of you would pick for the same price (around $1100). since Samyang recently announced they are releasing an 35-150 around this price point. i think i would go for the 35-150 since i really liked the focal length with the 35-200mm xi zoom from Minolta. but most curiously is what would you choose?

The choice of focal length depends on your personal preferences and which focal lengths you you use most often. Our preference may be quite different than yours. As for the two zoom ranges you mention, 24-70 seems to be the standard zoom range most prefered by professionals. The 35-150 seems to be an ideal range for wedding photographers. I have to admit, most of the photos I take are in that range. But it might be lacking for you if you want to shoot wider. The Tamron 35-150 is said to be excellent, but I think for me it might be too heavy, but it might be fine for you.
Last year I purchased the Tamron FE 28-200mm f2.8-5.6 and I find myself using it more than any other zoom lens. It does suffer from some CA at 28mm in high contrast photos. I also have the FE 24-70mm f4 ZA which I have used quite a bit in the past. The size and weight are very nice and IQ is fine for me, though some people don't like it. I've use a friends 24-105 f4 and it is a nice lens, but again to heavy for me. The 24-70mm f2.8 GM lenses would also be to heavy. Again, you might not mind the weight. If I know exactly what focal length to use, I will choose a prime lens, most often the Zeiss Batis, 25 40, 85 or 135.
Read through the reviews for the zoom lenses in the range you are interested in, either here or at other lens review sites.
Again, think about what you want to use the lens for. The focal length you will use most will help you make a decision, i.e. general photography -- 24-70mm, people and portraits -- 35-135.

Like everybody said, it's very personal, only you can tell what you really need/want.

For me I've lost interest in large aperture zooms. If I take a zoom it's usually on a day out or travel/vacation and then I want something light. For walk-around I have both the Sony 24-70/4 CZ and the Tamron 28-200 Di III RXD (2.8-5.6) which both deliver very good results for a zoom and the Tamron gets used most. The smaller aperture doesn't bother me for those instances since with modern sensors this is hardly a problem anymore.

For low light situations and/or the need for small dof I will take a prime rather than a heavy/fat zoom that usually has a smaller max aperture vs. the primes I have.

But if you don't mind carrying around big/heavy zooms I'd take the one with the longest reach and take a small/light WA prime for the occasions you need something wider. For instance the Tamron's 20/2.8 or 24/2.8 weigh very little and with a bit of cropping can cover most needs wider than the 35 mm of the 35-150.
