24-70 or 17-55?

PS


Original statement made because I don't know any pros who have any EF-S. Even those with crop cameras.





Disclaimer: I don't know all pros. Therefore some pros may actually have this lens.

I hear that it is a really great lens, so you make up your own mind and don't ask opinions anymore.

Kieth, perhaps you read my post with malice, but that was not my intent. As for not knowing any pro's that use crop bodies--I guess I'd be one of the many you don't since I own a pair of 40D's and a 1DIII (if you count that as a crop). I am also aware of dozens of other photogs who use crop bodies in their line of work (seven of which work with me). As for owning the 17-55 I do not, although if I wasn't convinced that there was a 24-70II on the way I would. Instead I own a Tamron 17-50--for what it's used for did not call for IS or the AF speed the 17-55 offers (Studio portraiture).

Nah, I felt you were giving me hard time so I thought I'd give it back. No hard feelings.


I know lots of pros with crops.I myself have a 40D that I love. Ijust don't know any with EF-S. My point is, that doesn't mean the lens isn't pro worthy.


I personally wouldn't buy a lens that would only work on a crop. I only buy EF so I can use it on my 5D2 also. I always knew I'd get a FF so I didn't want any when the 40D was my only body.


Just me.

Ah, I see. Initially I thought you meant you didnt know any pro's who use crop bodies in general. The internet is a crude method of interaction and more often than not things get misconstrued in it's impersonalness.
