Rivest,

Nice pics. The only thing missing is a Roughrider flag on your car!

The 17-55IS can do decent stop action in low light @ f/2.8 with a low enough ISO that you can clean it up and it would be ok. Whereas the 24-105L @ f/4 you would be pushing 6400/12800 ISO to get anything close to what the 17-55IS can do at ISO1600.

Since both have IS, the difference would be one stop of ISO. I was recently testing the ISO on the T2i and found with proper exposure that ISO3200 is usable. <url>https://photography-on-the.net …php?t=907469</url>;

I am considering a zoom to add to my primes and 90% of my pictures are stop action. I'll be getting the 24 - 105 for the reach and IQ. As a disclaimer, I've never owned the 17-55 so I can't compare the two.

Hey everyone! The 17-55 has 78 degrees of AoV on on our t2i. The 24-105 has 84 degrees on a FF, does anybody know whats the AoV of the 24-105 when used with the t2i?

I am also looking at the 24-105 but it's not wide enough for me :( I would have to sell the 10-20 to fund it. Or I could buy the 17-40 but I would have nothing from 41mm to 69mm (apart a 50mm). Kind of a big step isn't it?

You still have your kit lens? That is one of the deciding factors for me. I did use the wide side of the 17-55 a little bit and wide gives your images a whole different look to it. I have a 18-55IS so if I need anything wider than 24 I could always reach for the 18-55 on those rare occasions. 24mm is not "wide" enough but everyone has their own view of what is wide enough and what is not. I see alot of people doing a 17-40l/50/70-200 combo and it works for them. It just depends on what you shoot and if you would be ok with the gap in between.

Thanks, I don't have a Riders car flag though, so you won't be seeing one in my pics any time soon. :)

I like your pics as well, they're top shelf for sure.

my 2nd time ever using OCF , it was by the beach , in very harsh conditions , the lightstand was flying by the wind and had a friend of mine to hold it so i didn't have full control and flexibility ,by the end of the shoot the wind broke the umbrella :@ !

550D (T2i) + 50mm f1.8 II
YN-465 thru Impact 45 umbrella camera left triggered using RF-602 , The light seems a little harsh on the left side ! Any C&C is more than welcomed

(The pictures were resized to like 30% to be able to upload them as the internet in Egypt is Slow , now i can see that their quality degraded (A LOT) with the resizing )

Mitch, the light doesn't seem too harsh in that last photo.

I must have just gotten a REALLY bad copy of the 50 1.8. I see super crisp photos taken with that lens all the time, but I was never able to achieve anything like that with the one I had. Maybe I should buy another one sometime.
