wahseng said:Is it good for me to ditch the 17-85mm for 24-105mm L for the longer focal length & better lens? And get the 10-22mm crop lens for the wide angle. Using a 7D, not going for full frame. Any advise?
wahseng said:Sometimes i shoot indoors the 17-85mm is barely wide enough. I only have this 17-85mm & 75-300mm lens all these while. With the 24-105mm isn't really wide. I had the 350D bought many years ago, only got 7D recently. So i think for the 24-105mm only good if taking telephoto end on crop. So no need bring the lousy 75-300mm

Im using this combo now, 10-22 + 24-105...my 17-50 hardly touched since then
Tbh, when im outside, I never find the 24mm to be a problem...if I know im shooting something wider/bigger which 24mm cant capture, I would have change lens way before hand. For indoors, its a confirm 10-22 on your camera, and like what you said, sometimes even 17mm cant capture wide enough indoors
Anyway, have you consider 15-85? Its wider than your 17-85, slightly better optics, overall its cheaper and no need change lens as compared to 10-22+24-105 combo
I checked the specs for EF S 15-85mm vs EF S17-85mm. It seems that the EF S 17-85mm is a ring-type USM, but the 15-85mm is micro-USM
thus I had not considered 15-85mm

anyone can tell me the difference in terms of the USM bet 17-85mm & 15-85mm? optics wise which is better. I search the canon buy/sell thread, alot ppl selling their 17-85mm.
ring usm in 17-85 is better in terms of speed, noise and there is full-time manual focusing as well
optics-wise, I believe is 15-85, i tried it before, and its really good
I think I can live with 17-85mm... no point buying 15-85mm if the focal length is abt the same
for wide angle, you can try tokina 11-16 as well, its faster than 10-22 but only lose out in range
if you are sticking with your 17-85, it makes a good complement
So is it better to get 10-22mm for that wide angle, keep using the 17-85mm & saving $$$ by not getting the 24-105mm lens. The L is kind a factor for me to buy. i do have a cheap 75-300mm non USM lens that i can work with for telephoto
Hmmm why not consider the 10-22 then, and pair with a 70-200 for the tele end?
I used to own the EF-S 10-22 paired with EF 24-70L. Very good combo but make sure you are comfortable with changing lens when you need to go wider on the 24-70L.
Both shares same 77mm filter threads as well.
I concur with G-man bro.
If I intend to stay with crop, I will NOT give up 17-85 for 24-105. Why? I kill myself on the wide end for a +20mm in focal length?
If you wish to get the 24-105L, do pair it with a EF-S 10-22mm though, you will need it since you are already facing problem at wide end at 17mm.
