This is why I love the forum. I had thought of the 17-55mm f/2.8 but for some reason I completely forgot about it while thinking about a new lens. IF that makes sense. I guess I was leaning towards those two lenses partially because I want to replace my 55-250mm. I am really disappointed by my 55-250mm, so much that I try to avoid using it if at all possible.


The 17-55mm f/2.8 with hood, CP filter, and ND filter would be about $1,465. Saving me around $200 to put towards saving for my next lens purchase []
