Whats your most used NON L lens

dennykyser · 26th of February 2004 (Thu)

I need an every day lens that will give me the best possible images for my 10D. I want to get the best opics I can for under $400.00.

The lenses I have now are 24 f/2.8, 50 f/1.4, 70-200 f/4.0 L So the zoom range needs to cover 28-70. Hope to hear from those of you that use these zooms with digital. What I am replacing is my 28- 90 f/4.5 kit lens that is not cutting it with my 10D.

28-135 IS USM

I would cast my vote for the 28-135 IS, but that is a little over your target price. It is a fine piece of glass. My only comment about being an everyday lens is that, with the crop factor, it is not wide enough at 28mm.

Have Fun

Only if you include shipping.

I am using a canon 24-85mm USM f3.5-f4.5 covers your range. Cost $350.. I think you can beat that price as I got it locally. I love it!

dennykyser · 26th of February 2004 (Thu)

Well the three I was thinking about were the; 24-85 f/3.5-4.5, 28-105 f/3.5 and the 28-135 IS. But the range doesnt matter as much as the optics. I want the sharpest image I can get from the three. I have a prime at the low end and the 70-200 f/4.0 L at the upper end but am finding that at times changing lenses on the fly is not an option.

Tapeman · 26th of February 2004 (Thu)

20-35mm f3.5-4.5 (my only non L lens)

I expect to replace it with a 17-40mm f4L

PacAce · 26th of February 2004 (Thu)

28-135 IS.

Add another vote to the 28-135IS

This is way over the top and $1500 more than the $400 you want to spend, but I found the Sigma 120-300 F2.8EX gets a lot of use. That is the answer to 1/2 your question and I will leave it at that.

And yet another plug for the 28-135 IS.

justme_dc · 26th of February 2004 (Thu)

without a doubt. The 85mm f1.8 lens

Tom W · 26th of February 2004 (Thu)

28-105 f/3.5-4.5. Decent and cheap at $225 US + shipping.
(I believe that someone has one for sale in the marketplace forum, with hood).

I use the 50 quite a bit as well - more that I thought I would.

Edit: I'd probably vote for the 28-135 IS as well, but I don't have one and it isn't worth it for me to change since I'm pretty satisfied with what I have in that range.

I need a lot of range in focal length, so I use my Canon 28-200mm most of the time.
