Re: 7D - Which lens should i go for?
This is the most versatile combo you will ever find. The 17-55 is without peer on a crop camera, and the 70-200/4LIS is very portable. It weighs half that of the f/2.8 and is smaller and sharper! When I had a 40D, I'd take this combo snowboarding no problem. You bought an $1800 camera. Why waste your money on a 55-250? The… -
Re: 7D - Which lens should i go for?
i think ill go with the 7D for the extra performance and durablility. i am taking a video production course at uni so the "indie" style will suit. i looked at the "Canon EF-S 17-55mm, f/2.8 IS USM" but it is probably just a bit expensive. Would you recommend the "Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8" over the "Canon 17-40", how do… -
Re: 7D - Which lens should i go for?
The Canon EF 17-40mm, f4L USM is technically the sharper lens, but the Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR DI-II LD Aspherical (IF) might be preferred for video application for the larger aperture and longer range. In "indie" film production you will be exposed to the terms: Rack focus Pull focus Focus tracking/follow focus ...… -
Re: 7D - Which lens should i go for?
If you can swing it, a very usable 2 lens kit is: Canon EF-S 17-55mm, f/2.8 IS USM Canon EF 70-200mm, f/4L IS USM If you have to, drop back to a Canon 50D body and put the money towards better lenses. Add the Canon 1.4x teleconverter and you have a very versatile kit that can do much of what you want to do. If that's too… -
7D - Which lens should i go for?
I am buying a 7D, but im not quite sure which lens i should get. i mostly do landscape, a little bit of wildlife, and shots of family and friends. i will also use it quite a bit for video. i have around $3000 - $4000 to play with i was thinking of getting a canon 17-40mm, and then a cheap canon 55-250 for when i travel.… -
Re: 7D - Which lens should i go for?
The Canon EF-S 15-85mm, f3.5-5.6 IS USM EF-S 17-85mm, f4-5.6 IS USM ... are very versatile zoom ranges and the 15-85mm appears to be somewhat better optically. They both have pretty slow apertures and an f2.8 lens will be better for video work IMO. The link that Brett provided will give much more detail on the differences… -
Re: 7D - Which lens should i go for?
Also, don't forget the prime lenses! Most of Canon's primes (even the non L ones) are sharp, fast and superb quality. If you are set on a 7D, a nice combo for landscape / portraits would be: Canon EF 35mm f/1.4 L (can swap for the 17-40mm zoom L if needed) Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L (could make this the 85mm L if you got the… -
Re: 7D - Which lens should i go for?
The Canon EF-S 17-55mm, f/2.8 IS USM is a very well rounded lens. It's either that or my 70-200 (although I have the f/2.8 IS version.) I also tend to grab my Sigma 30mm 1.4 from time to time. May I also suggest the 10-22 EF-s lens from Canon, or similar from Tameron or Sigma - I LOVE having such a wide angle lens. I also…
