Gotta have the fast glass! Speed seems to be what is limiting me with my choices. ...... A lot of shots of Surfing are early in the morning or late in the evening .... plus I think the speed of the lens is best for video on the 7D. Need the speed with the 5DMKII when doing landscape also .... late or early with sunrise' and sunsets.


I have the 24-105. Its ideal except for two things.


1. If surfers are REALLY close to me (inside of 10'), the wide end of it, on the 7D, would be a little tight ....


2. I need something faster than F/4





I guess I have answered my own question ..... sometimes one just needs to hear it from everyone else. 16-35 L it is.


Thanks again, y'all. If anyone still thinks of or knows of a fast lens, wide (24mm or wider) and sharp .... with abig reachis out there ... lemme know.
