Hi all,
Just got my 7D couples of days back (about a week).
got the body only...borrowed lens from friend to play.
bought 50mm f1.8 II just now.
My friend recommended me to get EF-S 17-55mm f2.8 IS USM.
What is your guys take? good for general shooting?

A lot depends on your range of shooting. If you friend has a wide range of lenses, do borrow and find your range before committing to any lens purchase. However, according to this poll, most 7D user will be using the 17-55mm f2.8 as their primary lens.
ask you guys...

This afternoon visited canon showroom at vivocity.

You can decided from here , Do you Need those freebie?
If you are new user may can be consider.
Hi there! I totally agree with hobbit6003, the better choice for casual fotogs (i'm one too) would be the f4 . . . i travel quite a bit, and i'm really glad i made the right choice . . . the IQ is actually the same, if not better (according to some websites), as compared to the f2.8 (if shooting @ f4 also) version . . . then there's the price . . . you'll be saving around $800-$900 based on the prices i've seen here . . . with the savings, you can get other items like flash, tripod, bag, etc.
weight - check!
IQ - check!
price - check!
no regrets . . . i really love this lens! . . . well, hope this helps!
Compared to the street price of 7D (body only), you paid about $150-200 for all the freebies. If you need most of the freebies, I think it is a pretty good deal. Most important thing is to enjoy the camera
Thanks for the re-confirmation. You are right that the saving of SGD800-900 could go towards a tripod (which I currently do not have).
May pick up a copy of 70-200 next month.
Regards,

haha...dats y I'm also thinking.
I only need the CF cards, screen protector, cam bag and dry box. Tripod and flash is kept one side. :bsmilie:
definitely enjoying the camera...do u recommend 17-55mm f2.8 IS over 24-70mm f2.8L?

Do your friend has the 17-55 F2.8 IS lens. you may loan it for a weekend shooting.
or you can get rental a unit for few day in the weekend.
For crop camera EF-S 17-55 F2.8 can be nice match. Have IS and wide aperture up to F2.8.
But it build as not that good mean L quality in plastic casing.no weather seal on this lens.
that the remark i has this lens.Price is ex,but image quality are.... Once you trial it, know what i mean, you will love it.
decision Still Up to you, Loan ,rental and trial. How good the review of this lens is just a reference for you. after you trial out the result from this lens. you will have better understand , Do you really want or need it. it you call.

I got this as my primary lens. Love it. I got it at $1550
Hi siron,
I wish I have the cash to get that lens. Think will take awhile for me to get it. haiz...:cry:
hopefully when I get it the price might drop slightly or best MORE...:bsmilie:
Thanks for the advice.
Got no friend using that lens but 24-70mm but I feel doesn't give me the range thou a great lens since mine is a crop body.
yah, maybe will loan it to try for some shoot.
24-70 f2.8 weight are not light and not IS and much ex than the 17-55 F2.8 IS.
17-55 in crop range is 27.2-88. 24-70 in crop range is 38.4-112. .
In wide end of 24-70 in 7D is lost about 11.2 with EF-S 17-55 that a lot in some suitation.
Even i have the 24-105 F4 IS,i still Keep the EF-S 17-85
.But it don't have the F2.8 compare with EF-S 17-55.that always need to comprimise some areas.If compare to latest EF-S 15-85 lens,it much better consider EF-S 17-55 F2.8 IS.
Can consider on the B&S section. Do you really need or want from a new unit ?
It take so time, or interest free installment with credit card. Not that good man.

Yah...at first my friend(1) recommended 24-70mm (unless FF) but with 1.6x its a totally different lens not right for my body and also cost more.
Therefore my friend(2) recommended 17-55mm saying its good. That's y decided to plan to get the 17-55mm since I can shoot wide.
Saw the B&S, the prices I felt wasn't a big difference compared to a new one. some sell cheaper but sold liao. so might as well aim for a new one if B&S got good deal then grab.
hi can show some pictures on 10-22mm? ur 10-22mm is canon efs wan rit?
i thinking of getting this lens....
Hi, I bought the 17-55 in Bangkok and the exact price is still unknown (subject to bank's exchange rate as I pay via credit card), however, based on simple calculation during the time of purchase, it should be about 1350-1400SGD.
Actually have not use the lens as I just bought it but will test it out on 7th November for a charity event.
I had been using the 24-105 and yes, it is a good lens but not too happy with the bokeh... prefer a very blurred background.
Plan to use the 17-55 as walkabout while 50f1.4 or 50f1.2 (if I am crazy enough) as portrait lens and reserve 24-105 for travel.
