The 28-75 might not be wide enough for groups in that space considering the crop factor. My son has a 30D with one of the lenses that have been mentioned here earlier, the 17-85, and he loves it. My 5D, 24-105 would work in a room that size. Your 20D plus 17-85 would give you an approximate full frame FOV of 27-136. Sounds like you could make some money with it and then buy more gear!

17-85....hmmmm....let's see what I can find used.....off to the sell thread...

Tracy what lenses do you have?

Greg, LOVE that balloon shot. Glad you are having good results with the M3. Nice impulse purchase that's TRUE TMS!!

Um, none at the moment...the 20D i am getting is coming with a 28-80 that I hear isnt worth much and I ordered a 50 1.8.

Thanks. Mmm maybe not really TMS. I stewed over it for about three days before I raised my hand and bid. I had been considering the 5DII but changed my mind last Oct/Nov, been saving up for a new mkIII but this one came up second hand for less than a 5DII <whoooot!>.

Best thing was the seller pointed me to another local forum where someone is selling a RRS L plate for a mkIII. I'm hoping to pick that up and if I do it'll save me $100 compared to shipping one over and our cr@ppy exchange rate at them moment.

Just been out the back with the MPE-65 on it.

Can I start a joke thread saying that the mkIII focus is no good because my MPE can't AF on the 1D either:p oh wait that could be a user problem.:p

The 17-85 focal length is a really good fit for a 1.6 crop. For full body shots, and when you're talking about wedding dresses you're definitely going to want full body shots, a 50mm on a crop body might be too long. The 50 and the others that have been mentioned before are great at portraits, head shots, and details, but for groups and full length portraits in an enclosed space, probably wouldn't work.

I never had the 24-70 on my 40D. It was always the 16-35 or the 70-200. The 24-70 was on the ds2 or the M3. But I tend towards the uwa or the closeup and rarely in between. That being said, I would not be without either the 17-(whatever) or the 24 (or 28 )-70 because they both have their uses in a portrait type setting. Then again, the 70-200 is so important too. Hard choices for sure.

however, if she already has the 50, then I'd advise wider and longer for the next purchases.

I'd like a 135L. Why don't you convince Dan that is sucks, then talk him into selling it to me while Chris is out of town?

lol! you know, I've owned it twice now. The first time I sold it after I sold my 5D (it was too long for crop) but I regretted it. SO I really stressed to him that he shouldn't sell it.

I'm considering selling my 10-22 when I sell the 40D. I don't have a regular UWA now, I do have a 10-17 Fishy which will be ok to about 15 or so. WIll pick up a 16-35 in a few months hopefully. No real rush as I tend to prefer longer focal lengths to wider stuff.

I wasn't fond of the 16-35II. I didn't like how it handled anything but the center of the photo. It was one of my peeve lenses. I preferred the 17-40. But I needed 2.8 for work.
