Welcome to the forum!

The union between the 7D and a 17-55 IS f/2.8 is a marriage made in heaven! The 17-55 lens is often associated with an "L" status lens because of its optical superiority. You will not be disappointed.

The only issue is that you wont be able to carry it over if you switch to Full Frame camera...other then that, its a pretty nice setup.

TS just mentioned that he is considering to buy this combo, i don't think anyone that just get 7D will go FF anytime soon, and BnS will always be there what

Welcome to CS!
7D + 17-55 is a good match-up :thumbsup:

It is an expensive combo, that's all. Don't need to overspend when you first start out in this hobby. I would prefer to err on the cheap side...

My friend started with that setup. Nothing wrong with it. She's pretty happy with it.

TS, you may want to get a 2nd hand one from B&S, there are quite a few 17-55 on sale now.
