T2i to 5D upgrade?

Russo09 wrote in post #14335670
I have all the stuff listed in my signature (T2i, 18-55, 55-250, 50 1.8) and I've been thinking hard about possibly upgrading to a 5D. I never use the movie mode on my T2i, or any of the preset settings. I just shoot in manual and with the noise of the T2i at high ISO, I never really go above 600. I like shooting more landscapes/wide angle stuff so I think the Full Frame adjustment might help me out with that as far as losing the crop factor goes. Whenever I'm out with my camera, I find myself using the kit lens because with what I have, it allows me to go wide.

Has anybody made the jump? Any likes/dislikes about it?

Honestly,


you are way over thinking. keep it simple. keep it simple.

5D of some sort, and a 50mm lens, and you'll soon learn that you can produce art(not photos, art). You do NOT need those other lenses.

For what its worth, I shoot with a very old full frame camera and a 50mm lens. You'll end up pushing your creativity more with one lens.

I went from an XSi to a 1D2. Even the 1.3x crop is a huge difference when it comes to the wide end. I loved it. After getting the 5D2, I wont do anything less than full frame as my main body. Landscapes and wide angle is just what I shoot and FF is better for it.

I'd recommend a 17-40L and 5Dc. Sell the T2i and two kit lenses, and if it were me I'd sell the 50mm f/1.8 also. 24-105L might be a better walk around lens than the 17-40L but it's not as wide. Your 18mm frames like a 28.8 on FF, 24mm is wider yes but 17 is MUCH wider.
