Hi, I'm new to the forum...





I'm buying a 7D this christmas, I had a panasonic DMC-FZ3 (stolen) and various different DSLRs borrowed from friends to take pre-wed and other photographies...


Now I have to funds to buy my own camera and I want a good lens coupled with it


My options are theEF-S 17-85 IS,EF-S 17-55 IS, EF 24-70 L and the EF 24-105 L


why is the 17-85 is on the list? I want to compare the picture quality of the 17-85 and the 17-55 (as I cannot really directly compare the two lenses if they did not take the same picture) and I want to know wether the 17-55 is worth the extra money over the 17-85. And also buying the 17-85 helps me on purchasing the 70-200 2.8 L IS faster


I shoot everything (indoor and outdoor) and I like bokeh (a lot). So I am really looking for the ultimate multi purpose lens.fund wise, I'm able to purchase those 3 lenses and I am not planning to upgrade my body until.... maybe next 4-5 years? and feel the need to upgrade.


I really appreciate your suggestions. Thanks
