I see your logic wanting lens to use with a FF camera later on. But keep this in mind when you are choosing.


Unless you go used the cheapest FF camera is the 5D Mark II for about $2,500.00. While the 70-200L Non IS is a good lens, I am not sure if I would lay out $2,500 for a camera before I would upgrade the lens to IS. When you get to the 5D Mark II level if your like most of us, your looking at the 24-70mm 2.8L, 24-105mm 4L or 16-35mm L to go with it. The $$$ jump to FF can be big, you know your budget and if you really want to head toward FF look at what you would want if you were buying the 5D MarkII.......Getting the best EF S lens for your crop frame will last you all the way to the 7D.





Trowski is right...lens hold there value. Cameras don't though. A good EF-S you will be able to sell later on...(my opinion)
