I'm taking my 24-105 with me, but many times it isn't long enough. Any recommendations on a good lens that will work with my 5D MkII yet would cover 24-300 or so? No L's available in this range that I'm aware of. Joel

pixelmechanic THREAD STARTER Member 85 posts Joined Dec 2006 Location: somewhere in the middle of Kansas More info | I have lenses covering all those ranges, but my current project doesn't allow for carrying extra lenses. The consumer grade lenses that cover that range are made for the cropped sensor (I think) Joel

OK, got it. My daughter has the 18-280 that she uses on her 7D, it was made for the cropped sensor. Joel
