Re: If you could Have only One

I can think of three obvious ones: IS, better image quality (I guess- I never tested them), and wider angle.

24mm on a crop isn't really wide and 70 isn't really long either, so your lens isn't as versatile as it would be on a fullframe camera. The 55-70mm difference isn't a big factor because when you need the 70mm field of view, often 1 step forward is enough. The 17-24mm difference though is HUGE! [:P]

And yes of course the other reasons mentioned above [:D]

My vote is for the 17-55 on crop and 24-105 on full frame.

I have that lens, the 180 macro. Awsome lens, worth every penny.

Yes I am, because getting closer doesn't cost $12,000!

Well, for birds that may be true. But for shooting carnivorous animals in the wilds of Africa, 'getting closer' may well result in far more than $12K in medical bills.... [img]/emoticons/emotion-5.gif[/img]

Even the vegetarians over there are scary...

Re: If you could Have only One

It would probably be a versatile macro lens. maybe the 100L on a full frame body (as long as we're dreaming about what lens, why not dream about a body too...)

If I could have only one lens, it would be a compact, sharp 10-900mm f/1.4 lens that came with a 4x TC. mwahahahaha

Suppose you had to restrict yourself to existing lenses. Then what?

70-200mm f/2.8L IS II. Looks like a blood ripper!
