Posted by TheVicariousVadder The 24-105 is a better deal if you don't need the extra stop and supposedly has more consistent quality control than the 24-70. Do you really need a zoom? Two primes would be sufficient when paired with your other lenses. 22mm vs 24mm on crop is negligible (and no one makes a good mid-range 24mm) so I'd just jump into a 28mm\30mm and a 50mm\60mm would cover all the bases. $400 primes are sharper and produce better images than L zooms. EF 28mm F/1.8 USM, EF 50mm F/1.8 USM, EF-S 60mm F/2.8. I also really like the EF 85mm F/1.8 USM, 85mm is my favorite focal length on crop for portraits/nature. Because you have micro-adjust in the 7D you should also consider the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 and Sigma 50mm f/1.4 which have shown to be sharper than the Canon equivalents but need MA to get the full effects of it. |
Posted by Byberrian Fanman Keep in mind, Canon has a new 24-70 f/2.8 in the pipeline... |
Posted by Uzi- Do tell is it supposed to have IS? Is it just a II version or is it supposed to have big changes? Got a link? |
Posted by Uzi- You guys are really screwing up my plans here haha. I just saw a nice used 24-105 on CL for $875 it was looking great until I started reading the links. |
Posted by TheVicariousVadder ..and there may be a 24-105L II released as well. ... which may have IS http://www.canonru...2011/02/what-next/ |
