17-55 IS f/2.8 in a studio
Is it a performer in a studio, do any of you use it for that?
Just ordered one for walkabout stuff but interested to know if you use one.

Nov 04, 2010 09:57 | #4 If you don't have a problem using a crop in a studio; the 17-55 will likely not be your weakest link. 7D | 300D | G1X | Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 | EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 | EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro | EF 85mm f/1.8 | 70-200 f/2.8L MkII -- flickr

Until the 70-200, the 60D was my favorite lens, it is really sharp and has nice bokeh. But the 70-200 is so sharp that, since I got that, I am not using the 60 as much. I'm not giving it up though. On the other hand, if I didn't have it and was looking for a small prime right now and did not want macro, I might lean toward the 50 f/1.4 (which is a little cheaper), instead of the 60, for the extra stops 7D | 300D | G1X | Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 | EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 | EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro | EF 85mm f/1.8 | 70-200 f/2.8L MkII -- flickr

gonzogolf dumb remark memorialized More info | Nov 04, 2010 16:03 | #8 Its wider than I would prefer, but it'll work on a crop. Depends on what you are shooting.
