Adam,


Have you considered the Tamron 10-24 f3.5-4.5DII?


I lovemy copy of the Tamron 28-75 f2.8 and am always looking for that replacement L glass. When I stop and think about it for a moment, I realize that I can buy 3 of the Tammys with 6 year warranty for the price of equiv Canon L. I own the 17-35 f2.8 L and the 70-200 f2.8 L non-IS. So it would complete my FF 5D Canon package to have a 24-70 or 28-70 f2.8 L. Red stripes throughout!! Do you feel my pain? I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger. The Tamron's that good.


I also have the 17-50 f2.8 DII for the 40D. That lens is awesome too!!


For macro, don't overlook the EF 100 f2.8 USM Macro. Great lens and doubles as a long portrait.


Good Luck with that LBA!! (lens buying addiction) Coined by Lance B. on pentaxforums.
