Yes. I can think of three main areas that you should be aware of before you make the purchase:



  • Angle of view
  • Value
  • Weight

<div>The angle of view is significantly different than your 18-55. If you don't use the 18-24 range very often, then it wont be a problem. But if you do (like me), then you may find that a different lens is better suited for you, such as the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8.</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>As for value, there are many other lenses that have the same image quality for half or one third the price (like the Tamron 17-50, Sigma 18-50). There's also the Canon 17-55 f/2.8 which is only a little cheaper, but has image stabilization. But image quality is not all that matters. The 24-70 has excellent build quality, weather sealing, focus rings, and other features that Canon only reserves for it's "L" class lenses.</div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>The third issue is weight.It weighs five times as much as your kit lens. Some people like to add a battery grip to the T2i body to help it balance better with the heavier 24-70 lens.</div>

It goes right on just fine.
