Looking to upgrade from the Canon EF-S 18-55mm

[Tom Carman]

I had the same predicament. I bought the EFS-17-55 IS USM (2.8) and i love it.


I was actually debating between the 24-70Land the above. The 17-55 is my day to day lens and the glass is L quality. The only downside is , of course incompatability if ever you consider going FF. I started with a XSI back in August and i just purchased a 50D.


The 17-55 perform very well.


Canon get you on this one though as you have to purchase a hood ($40.00 in Canada!)


Hood is standard on the 24-70.

So it sounds like the Tamron 17-50 is the way to go. I'll have to do some more reading, and perhaps check out some samples on Flick or something - but that seems like the frontrunner at the moment.
