I've set aside a few quid to upgrade my gear and have recently taken deliver of a used 7D, which I am very happy with. I'e budgeted a total of £800 for a new body and lens, so (after the 7D) I have £430 to play with.. maybe a little more...
I've always fancied having an L lens (who doesn't want a nice red ring to show off!?) and have been looking closely at some used 17 - 40 lenses, which would fit my needs from a focal length point of view and fit my budget... BUT...
.. and here's the but....
I've done some research and have heard that on a cropped sensor they actually aren't as sharp as one may expect - and sharpness is really what I am after. Alternatives are:
Bottom line is I'm after the best lens possible for my set up and budget. I thought I wanted that L lens... but now I'm not so sure.
Thoughts, especially from other 7D users, would be welcome.
Thanks all,
