Hi all, i've just purchased the Canon EFS 17-55mm F2.8 IS USM, wondering if it was a better buy than the Canon EF24-105 F4L IS USM.
Comments? Thanks very much.

You have bought it, so learn to use it. It is a good lens.

Why ask for comments when you've already got the lens?? Just use it...

lol people usually ask for comments before buying,not after buying:bsmilie:
Its a good lens.Enjoy using it

haha, but should i care abt how much more the Canon EF24-105 F4L IS USM offers? or just get a telephoto next time?

Before you starting thinking about buying another lens, why not ask yourself if you actually need it?

What if i told you the 24-105 was better? Would it make you feel miserable? Well... truth is i have neither, but if i had either, I would make the best of whichever I have... Both i'm sure are very very good lens! So, shoot more!

 

[scaleforty]

yeah i guess so, alright. thanks.

I would get both if I had the $$.
Both are great for different scenarios.
I was in the same situation regarding these 2 lenses just last week. And I have made my choice.

Both are good lenses. The better one meets your needs, provided you make good use of it.

The best lens is the 1 that you have with you when u need to shoot
