I'd spring for the IS-version of the 70-200mm zoom lens. Trust me, it's worth it.

Can't find this lens on the dell site , any reason why (More elements, coatings, etc.. ) ?

Maybe Dell doesn't sell it?

Check B&H, Adorama, Amazon or just about any camera store.

Ahhh I see, yes I'm using an account.

How about any of the lenses I've picked out, which one of the 6 would you go with ?

I was thinking the 2 - EF 24-70 mm f/2.8L USM Standard Zoom Lens

It's a great and highly-regarded lens, but the problem is that it does not have IS. If you're always going to be on sticks or on a stabilizer, this might not be a big deal. But any kind of handheld shooting is going to be a challenge with that lens.

Now, the rumor is that Canon is coming out with an updated 24-70L that will have the new "hybrid" IS system.

So, given that you're locked in to buying from Dell, here's what I'd do…

Canon 17-55 f2.8 IS EF-S

Canon 35mm f1.4L
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...etail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A1497815

Canon 70-200mm f4L IS
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...etail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A0780945

Canon 10-22mm f3.5-5.6 EF-S
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...etail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A0400817

This covers a wide range of focal lengths (10-200mm), should be fast enough where you generally need it (17-55mm f2.8) with one of the best prime lenses Canon has ever made (35mm f1.4L).

Personally, if I had to trade anything out here, I'd give up the 10-22mm and do whatever I could to get the 70-200mm f2.8 IS lens.
