I can vouch for the 17-55 f/2.8. I have it and combined with my Canon 7D (I decided not to go with the 5D for now), it’s a great combination. The 17-55 is regarded as quite possibly the best ‘every day’ zoom lens. Love it.

I also had the 18-200 IS which I sold to fund the 7D and 17-55 and that was a very good lens as well.

I’m transitioning to mostly a wedding photographer.

If you look at my site, www.ilyakolproductions.com , the last wedding I did (Slavik and Tanya) was with the 7D, 17-55, and 50 1.8.

Thanks, some people also suggested a Canon 10-22 for landscapes, car shows, etc. so I checked that out as well. Also looked at a Sigma 10-20. I was thinking maybe one of those plus another lens like maybe the 18-200? I wish I could get 2 for $1000 but not likely.

When I had my 30D a few years ago I had a 17-55 f/2.8 IS. I used it a lot for walk around work, the IS was great for handheld low light photos. 10-22 was a great lens too.

Are the Sigma lenses good?

25

Its spotty, I hear good and bad, 50/50.

26

I might stick with Canon and be safe…

I have 2 simgas and the features for the price are good in my opinion. Havent had a problem yet!

28

Is it worth the $$ to upgrade to a better 50mm lens like the f/1.4??
