17-55 used for around 750? Only 2 Ls cheaper than that, the rest are more, the sigma 24-60 isn't too shabby either but better on ff

can any of you name some cheap non L glasses for the 7d?

What does that mean? The 7D takes any EF or EF-S lenses. Also "L" has nothing to do with this. Just because it is L, doesn't make it immune to the scrutiny of the 7D. Even mighty L primes crumble before the immense pixel density of the 7D.

Ah, my misunderstanding... but it needs to be cheap eh?... thats a hard one... cheap and good glass rarely go together...

what is considered cheap?

thats my question. under 500? 1000?

if cheap means, under 500, i would say sigma 24-70 or, sigma/canon50 1.4 or 70-200 F4L...all used of course

I have a pair of 27" calibrated monitors and I normally cannot tell the difference between shots taken with my 7d vs 5dii. When I print near poster sized images the 5dii tends to have a slight advantage on a regular basis. No science just observation.

I appreciate hearing from someone who shoots with both! I keep coming across message boards that complain about the focusing system of the 5DII, especially the focus points other than center. Do you find that the 5DII has trouble locking on to correct focus?
