Sure but what glass?

24-70mm f2.8 L USM

or

24-105 f4 L IS USM

or

70-200mm f4 L IS USM

cant decide.

or I´ll just get a sigma 50mm 1.4 and a canon 85mm 1.8, but I actually want some wide angle, so prolly more towards one of the standard zooms.

24-70 2.8 L is an awesome lens. Make sure you have a good return policy, and return it until you get a sharp version.

Honestly, if you told me that... I would think: Would someone like me really know the difference if it's sharp or not???? Especially if it was my sharpest lens of all the "lower" ones I own...

You can compare with onlien images.

Some people just got too much money...

Swedish photo forum, d7000 thread..

"When I film and zoom the camera changes aparture, bug or what"?
- No stupid, your lens doesn't have a fix aparture over the whole zoom range...

I've seen that question three times now...

Hm.. i would still opt for prime if you don't mind the minor "inconvenience". As highly regarded as the 24-70L is, it still doesn't touch my primes in sharpness and IQ. I don't know if it's just the age of the optic's design, but i think the 15-85 that i had was just as sharp if not sharper then the brick. In my experience ofc.

LOL. Please tell me they had an entry dslr

Sadly, their entry camera is a d7000...
But it should have been like d3100 or a point/shoot..

hmmm ye but I kinda want a good standard zoom to get used to the 5D Mark II. and I´m craving for my first L to be honest, since I first tried one out at a local store.

By the way, I found a buyer for all my current stuff. the 1000D, the battery grip, the 2 crap lenses ( 18-55mm and 75-300mm ) and all my other stuff that belonged to my equip for ~ 350€. I`m only keeping my flash and a 50mm 1.8. the tokina 11-16mm will be sold aswell as soon as soon as I got it back from the manufacturer. guess I can get around 500 bucks for it.

that means, I`ll be the owner of an 5D Mk II pretty soon

what? why? how is it going to be different from learning with prime lens other than being 100 time more complex and time consuming?
