tonylong ...winded More info | Dec 05, 2007 00:48 | #458 Ever since I got this lens for my 30D, I've been saying that this lens rocks the world for the smaller sensor class of camera, and pics like this paint the picture just fiiiiiine! Unfortunately, for me at least, I gave this lens to my daughter who is at the Oregon Coast right now and out of touch due to storm-related power outages and where I wasn't even able to drive to because of closed roads, so I can't just rush over and grab that lens and take more pics with it...curses! Foiled again! Tony

Im not all that big on landscapes I shoot mainly people and my kids.... definately get 17-55 before 24-105 especially for people, you will LOVE it love it - the f/2.8 makes a huge difference

Can't believe I'm about to spend this much money on a lens! Started shooting seriously early this year and I'm about to upgrade my XT and Sigma 17-70 to a 30d and this baby (also got a 70-200 F4 and 430ex on the way). Being a complete tightwad I swore I wouldn't let the upgrade bug get me. This forum is so evil! When I first started researching (before my XT) I figured the kit lens would be just fine. I found a review of lenses and saw that there was a lens that had just 1mm more at the wide end than the kit for like $1000...I just didn't get it back then  .Damn you all! Can't wait to start posting some pics .Chris Your problem is that you "started shooting seriously" Tony

? And just think, when it gets there it will make you have to start taking pictures with it -- that lens can be a tough boss
