Had this lens since buying my 500D and have used it quite a bit but just find it not that great (sharpness, slow AF etc)
This has been tucked away and have been using the niffy fiffty most of the time (mainly my daughter at home)
Options im looking at and would like your opinion on are. Added a little note against each lens. Most would be second hand purchases.
Canon
17-55 f2.8 efs (Reviews are all good)
24-70 f4 ef (how well do these work on crop bodies? but loose a few stops)
24-105 f4 ef (how well do these work on crop bodies? but loose a few stops)
Sigma
Not really looked into them although a friend has a 18-50 macro which seems rather soft so not too sure really
Tamron
17-50 non vc tamron (some better than others so not an easy one too buy)
The main lens im interested in are the canons and would really like to know how the 24-70 and 24-105 perform on a crop body, ie sharp or not, fast af, picture quality.
Thanks for your time
In the future i hope to upgrade to a 60d or 7d. Lens first.
