I wish my 11-16mm had IS.

Just got the 17-55 used.

Can't wait to try it out.

Is that yours SM?

 

[Stephen Mick]

Hell no. I'm keeping mine. It's a great lens.

I just threw that out there in case someone was looking for one.

I was going to get the 30mm f/1.4 Sigma as my next lens, but I think the Tamron is going to be a more flexible lens. The Sigma will have to wait for a while.

Someone posted on the DC Craigslist about two weeks ago one for $850. Did you get that one?

I gotta be coming around sometime soon to play with the room full of toys you have!

No, SM sent me to a photo board where that one was.

Yes you DO need to stop by the office, the Zacuto rig is in! :2vrolijk_08:

I know where Matt's office is, FatDaddy. We can hit it later tonight after he's gone.

 

[Matt Gottshalk]

Get past the rottie and the golden chalice is yours!

Better yet, I know where the Irish Pub is close to his work. :beer:

The canon 17-55 is pretty awesome. The IS should not be underestimated if you like to do a lot of handheld work and you're trying to steal a location. Focus throw is pretty short, but pretty easy to master. Granted you can't use it on a FF camera; however, not every camera coming out for video is going to be FF, so it's a lens that will be versatile for other systems provided you don't mind keeping it wide open and tossing an ND filter on the front to control exposure. Simple enough these days with a fader nd or similar product.

I have the Canon 17-55 lens since I got my 7d and I don't like it.

It's biggest limitation as far as I am concern: it does no have a hard stop at maximum and minimum focus.

Thanks.

interesting. im more interested in the new tamron , but i dont like the price.

 

[FatDaddy]

I can;t seem to find anything in the focal range with IS as the Canon 17-55. Price is high and I am not to worried about hard stops, but need a run and gun lens and think this is it. Not sure when the Tamron is coming out with their version of IS, but it is only $350 less than the Canon.

Need more wide IS choices...

Comes out at the end of this month, Tamron 17-50 VC

I have a gr8 deal of buyer's remorse for having bought my Tamron 17-50 last month instead of w8ing for the VC version. A really stoopid move on my part.
