Re: Upgrading to FF. Replacing my EF-S 17-55mm cost effectively?
See, that's the whole problem with jumping from crop to full-frame. To "match" the 17-55 OS, you'll need either the Tamron 24-70 VC, or maybe "settle" for the un-stabilized Canon 24-70 mk2. The EF-S 17-55 IS is THAT sharp. Stepping up to the original 24-70 L, you won't be too blown away by the sharpness unless you get a… -

Re: Upgrading to FF. Replacing my EF-S 17-55mm cost effectively?
What cmason said. Basically, your lens on your 7D equates to 27-88 f/4.5 on Full Frame. The direct replacement would be the 24-105 f/4L IS, but I prefer the 24-70 f/2.8L for true f/2.8. I went from the 17-55 to the 24-70 and I do not miss the extra reach or the IS. I do appreciate the extra speed and DOF control. Cost… -

Also, there's the anticipated Tamron 24-70 VC. It's not out yet, but given the announcements I'd expect some reviews to be appearing soon. I'm following it with interest, since my Tamron 17-50 is an excellent lens; if the new lens can match sharpness and is a decent price, it may well be a viable alternative to the 24-70L. -
Re: Upgrading to FF. Replacing my EF-S 17-55mm cost effectively?
I'm in the same boat as you and started the thread Divamum referenced. I'm still waiting to purchase the 5d (mk iii in my case) and have settled on the following: 17-40/4 70-200/4 IS Either 24/28/35 prime Either 85/100/135 prime While the 24-105/4 is the direct equivalent of the 17-55 that I recently sold, it does not take… -
Upgrading to FF. Replacing my EF-S 17-55mm cost effectively?
I'm looking to replace my EF-S 17-55mm lens since I will be upgrading to a 5D MKII. I pretty much have my heart set on an L-Series lens, however the closest I can get to the 17-55 is the EF 16-35 f/2.8L II. Unfortunately I really would like something that goes a bit further than 35mm while still retaining the wide-angle… -
Re: Upgrading to FF. Replacing my EF-S 17-55mm cost effectively?
First off, know that moving to FF changes the perceived focal length of the lenses. Your 17-55 on your APS-C (1.6x factor) sensor had a similar field of view as 'narrower, and longer' lenses do on a FF sensor. This is a big benefit of APS-C cameras for wildlife and sports shooters: you can get really long length with… -
Re: Upgrading to FF. Replacing my EF-S 17-55mm cost effectively?
I pretty much agree with the above. When I discuss lenses, I often refer to the application or use of the lens, rather than the specific focal length(s) involved. The Canon EF-S 17-55mm, f2.8 IS USM is a "standard" or "normal" zoom lens of constant f2.8 aperture for the Canon crop 1.6x camera bodies. I continue to use a…
