Keep in mind I am using a 7D and I know a different lens may work so I am up for suggestions. I just prefer the faster lenses in case I need to use indoors etc.

Amazing lens for the price. I loved mine and miss it to this date.. I will find a 24-70 2.8 someday.. -Sac

The only prime that interests me in that entire range is the 24L II. The Tokina at f/2.8 is only 2/3 stop faster than what you can get out of the Canon zooms. A difference of 2/3 stop is not going to make or break your photo. Dedicated APS-c shooter. Gripped 60D, 60 2.8, 10-22, 15-85, Σ70-200 OS and a big white something or other! Plus a 5D w/28-75.

Take astrophotography, where exposure time is often limited because of the movement of the subject. 2/3 stop means you can grab 1.6x as much light, which is quite significant.

I should have said that 2/3 stop is not going to make or break MY photos. Dedicated APS-c shooter. Gripped 60D, 60 2.8, 10-22, 15-85, Σ70-200 OS and a big white something or other! Plus a 5D w/28-75.

The Canon will be at least 695.00 used with no warranty and I'm not 100% sure the Canon beats it in IQ bad enough to justify the extra 100-200.00 with no warranty and other possible issues of buying used. There are two camps on UV filters, I say ditch the UV filter for a Polarizer, far more benefical for landscape.
