Well, Canon 24-105 it is. I Think.
Well, after deciding between the 17-55, 24-70 and the 24-105, I have decided
to go for the 24-105 for my 20D. I rarely take photos below 24mm on the 20D as most of my shots are people shots. So, any objections? BTW, will be used in combination with my 70-200 2.8IS and 50mm 1.4 prime. An extra stop of light would be nice, but 24-70 is a bit bulky, and the 17-55 is over-priced and is restricted to the type of body used. Also, I like in-camera cropping, so longer focal lengths can be an advantage to me. |

As long as you don't want something in the background showing where they are, you should be fine. |

But it'll be its stated figs. in all respects on a ff camera. It's a fine lens; I use it a lot. -- john mcwilliams |

Yup, my figures were based on my previous shots on the 20D. Rarely I shoot
lower than 24mm, however I am also considering a 10-22 for certain shots I just can't get with the 24-105. As I said, wide angle shots are rare for me, however I do like certain wide angle shots as they can be great for certain photos. "This old Bob" wrote in message ... You mean, a 38mm to 168mm, right?

I've been using one on a 5D, and it's s wonderful lens. Kind of heavy, but
not too bad. Very sharp, great color and contrast, and superb build quality. Zooming ring is a little heavy, but not too heavy (compared to other zooms, like the 70-200 f4 L). Go for it, you won't regret it. "Peter" wrote in message ... Well, after deciding between the 17-55, 24-70 and the 24-105, I have decided to go for the 24-105 for my 20D.

I also have the 10-22 as I do landscape stuff too and they complement each other well. The 24-105 really is great, good colour, sharpness and, although L lens weight , that feels reassuringly robust. Quality! |
