Get the Tamron 17-50 f2.8 VC or EF 17-55 f2.8 IS. Both will serve you well for your requirements.
Hi, all:
I am a 50D user and considering a wide angle lens for landscape shooting, Canon 16~35 F2.8 or 17~40 F4 ?
Thanks~
my budget is around S$1000 and some times also want to shoot portrait, what is the choice?
:embrass:
For above photo, I only downsize with photoshop. Of course behind a nice photo, there's plenty of bad photos taken liao. The 'fog' U mentioned, I suspect is the condensation due to the temperture difference.btw, do you use software to adjust the pic above? cause the pic I took is alway a bit bright and likes there is fog on it, is this because of the lens or the cam settings or others ?
thanks~~
I would suggest either the Canon 24L Mark II.
My advice to TS;
Tamron 17-50 mm f2.8 VC
Has image stabiliser, very sharp, and suitable for all types of multipurpose shooting.
If you are not planning on going full-frame anytime soon, I feel 17-40 f4L is not a good choice due to the more limited focal length range and slower aperture.
The 16-35L II is twice your budget and will not impress until you step into the wonderful world of full-frame.
thanks! now I have only one lens 50 1.4 and I dont want a big gap between the foucs length, what is your opinion? my idea is 16~35 F2.8 or 17~40 F4 50 1.4 and 70~ 200 F4. :)
thanks~
But if you want to have a better setup.
1) 10-22mm
2) 24-70mm
3) 70-200mm (f4 or f2.8, leave it to you to decide)
4) 50mm as you already have it.

If you had to choose between the 16-35 and 17-40, do yourself a favour and get the 17-40. The 16-35 is just plain paper weight. The MK II was a redeem for them. This is coming from someone who owned 3 copies of the 16-35. Its bad.
please save the money from buying a 24-70 on a APS-C camera.
it's practically useless because it's just not wide enough and not long enough.
get yourself something that covers from 17 to 50 odd mm. either EF-S 17-55 IS or Tamron 17-50 VC or Sigma 18-50 or the likes. you'll be happier with the wider angle and yet feel good enough on the longer side before switching to a tele.
