so I keep looking at the Canon 24-70 f2.8 ... but wondering ... would I miss the IS, would I miss the reach?
I'm also tempted to go for a collection of fast primes eg Sigma 30/50/85 f1.4
Thoughts anyone? |
The 24x70 L f2.8 is almost welded to my 7D.
The f2.8 more than compensates for the lack of I.S. in my opinion and with the minimum of ISO being bumped up you can get pin sharp shots equivalent to any workhorse lens with I.S.
What I love is the versitility of the lens. Outdoors it gives good enough wideangle at 24mm - indoors a super 50 to 70mm for portraits, that are enhanced with the f2.8.
After the 24x70 my next fav is the 70x200 L f2.8 - great for candid shots
These two make up for 95% of my usage with a 10x22 and 100x400 often gathering dust waiting for the rare moments they are used.............
