Re: First L glass advice?
I can't speak to the EF-S lenses, but if you want something that will also work with FF, I would go for the 24-70 (or 24-105) and the 17-40. But I agree with Chris and others on looking at primes. Hands down get the 50 f/1.8. Also the 85 f/1.8, 35 f/2 and the 24 f/2.8 can be had for few hundred bucks each (but look at… -
Re: First L glass advice?
I made the 24-105 recommendation regardless of body; I assumed 1.6 crop, didn't care which & it doesn't really matter. It's totally personal opinion whether 24mm is too long on a crop body--it's still moderate wide and I find it's wide enough for most walkaround use. If I were looking for a walk-around today & didn't have… -

As much as I love the 24-70, it looks like the 24-105, or 17-55 will work best for your type of shooting. The 24-70 is really best suited for low-light & mid-range portrait stuff. I'll leave macro suggestions to the experts, but everything I've read on Canon's 3-lens lineup all of them are good choices. Congrats on the… -

My recommendation: 70-200 f4L. It is really simple: this is the least expensive L lens in the line, and it is a real beauty. At this price, you can't afford NOT to own this lens (does that make sense?) It is not a good walk around lens, not like the 24-105, but of course it is 1/3 to 1/2 the price of other L lenses.… -

That's a good point, Sid. My only quible with that lens is at the 24 end... sometimes that just isn't wide enough on the 1.6x crop bodies. But if you can live with 38mm effective focal length instead of 27mm, then the 24-105 is more flexible on the tele end. Shima could always add the EFS 10-22 and then have almost the… -

Re: First L glass advice?
Based on your camera body and your style of shooting, I suspect the 24-105 is your best bet. Your 30D has clean high ISO, to compensate for the lens' f4 max aperture. And while some think the lens is stunted on the wide end on a 1.6 crop body, I don't see that as a problem based on your image galleries. You look like you…
