There quite a few, like below,

Canon EF 50mm F1.2L $2899,
35mm F1.4L $2599,
24-70mm F2.8L $2699,
24-105mm F4L $2199,
85mm F1.2L $4399,
14mm F2.8L $4199,

Above list, all are very good lens, of there is even more.

24-105mm F4L should be the cheapest. what are your budget??

BTW the prce above are only Canon RPP, so u shd get it cheaper at other shop.

Hi, try EF-S 10-22mm f3.5-4.5 USM, weight 385g, filter 77mm, around $1050/- for walkabout
landscape or interior of buildings with good DOF and perspective or 15-85mm f3.5-5.6 IS USM
575g 72mm filter, about same price used as kit lens for 7D.

best lens = most expensive ones :bsmilie:

get a 10-22mm UWA lens from either Sigma or Canon and 17-55mm F2.8 from Tamron or Canon.

This setup should keep you busy for a while

 

[mynameisgreg]

best lens would be a canon lens. Third party lenses sometimes have focussing issues and the stuff.

apologies to the owners of the pictures.... using as an example...

what does the TS like to do ???
Its a misnomer, there is no such thing as a good landscape lens or a good street lens. It all boils down to the technical capabilities and creative possibilities of the photographer.

happy buying and shooting !!!

AGREE!

 

[macquekers]

i am using 17-55mm f2.8

its the best all rounder/walkabout lens available for APS-C bodies.. super sharp lens.. never regret getting it. cost i around $1.6k

after buying and using it, i then realize why people term this as the "Hidden L lens"

only bad point is it is heavy, heavier than the 550D body itself, but not an issue for a big guy like me.

go for it, u will love it!

alright,think will get it ,you also using 550D ? can share where you bought the lens?
