Canon 24-70mm F2.8L USM

[Joel Bookhammer]

The 24-70 is a great lens works equally well on my 40D and XTI, I normally have it on my XTI and the 70-200 2.8 IS on the 40D. But recently Ive only been lugging around the 85 1.2 II, absolutely fantastic lens.


You will be very happy if you purchase or already have purchased it.

I recently shot a wedding. My main lens was the older but still fantastic 28-70/2.8L and I used it with my 580EX II on a borrowed Rebel XSi + batt. grip. My 10D + 580EX switched between 100/2.8 Macro, 50/1.8, 70-300, and 16-35/2.8L. When I needed to go wider, I put the 16-35 on my EOS-3. With that setup, I only used the flashes for about 50 shots out of ~1,400.


In short, the 24-70/2.8L will work fantastically on your XTi. :-)

Must of been a well lit wedding, I find the flash to be a necessary piece of equipement expecially for weddings, cause they tend to be alittle on the dark side []

It wasn't very well lit, but it was lit better than most weddings I've been to; I was at ISO 800 or 1600 most of the time at ~f/2.8 and 1/100 sec. I didn't realize that the lights were sodium vapor lights and even with a manually set white balance, some photos are greenish and others are reddish, since the light flickers. Lots of WB corrections in Lightroom. []

So you shoot digital and film. What film do you use?

I only shoot film when my 16-35 is too long on my APS-C 10D, which is hardly ever. The film in the EOS-3 right now is Kodak Gold ISO 100 negative film.

I use mine on my XTi and it works great I've loved it since I bought it last winter

I use mine almost exclusively on my 5DmkII.
