The one lens to rule them all?

Would this be a good all around lens? If you had to get by with just one lens?

The link doesn't work for me, but I'm looking to get the Canon EF 24-105 f/4 L.

Great lens, but keep in mind the 1.6x crop factor, that 16mm end becomes a 26mm semi-wide.

If you're not hung up on getting strictly canon gear, I highly recommend Tokina

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/498661-REG/Tokina_ATX165PRODXC_16_50mm_f_2_8_AT_X_165.html

It's built for the DX cameras, so 16mm is really still 16mm

- link dont work

16mm is 16mm is 16mm

that is very wide on a FF and OK wide on a crop frame

smaller image circle lenses (aps only) still have the same FOV as their larger image cirlce counterparts

IMO a 16-35 would be good general lens for the 7d, it is not ultrawide however, about the same as the 24-70 on a FF camera

IMO 1 24-105 is too long to be a general lens for a crop camera

Yeah, for wide shots, the Canon has some issues. But it still has more range.

For a 1.6 crop this is a really nice lens f2.8 and IS to boot!

I guess you have to cut and past links? Nox, even cutting and pasting I can't open your link.

 

[NoxNoctus]

I have no idea whats going on with links

This should work, it's a tinylink to BH. if all else copy n paste that

 

[manglerBMX]

what is this http://jbrlsr.com/ stuff?

 

[Abaddon]

Forget links. Just write what the product is and we can look it up if we need more specs.

 

[NoxNoctus]

Seems to be a server issue for DVX as far as external links.

I'm trying to link to the Tokina 16-50mm f/2.8 AT-X 165 PRO DX

Abaddon... cool name

Nice lens.
The Tamron that's coming out has the same specs but adds IS for about $150 more I think. IS really helps with CMOS skew (jello) when you're going handheld

Thanks.

Abaddon was a bad-ass.

sorry about the link error. it's been fixed. just a temp glitch with a stats script we run.
