Hi

Have a 600D coupled with these..

Canon 70-200 L f4
Canon 28-105 USM II f3.5-4.5
Canon 18-55 IS USM f3.5-f4.5
Sigma 10-20 f4
Canon 50 f1.8
Canon 28 f2.8

Struggling to decide if I really need another lens. I do portraiture and landscapes, some wildlife. Feel if I was to get ''just one more'' lens , it would (probs) be to replace the 18-55 kit lens. Budget about 500-750

Any suggestions and why?

TIA

Pete

Not quite sure why you would replace the 18-55 when you already have the range covered by your 10-20 and 28-105, I would have thought that this lens was surplus, if you must change why not change the kit and the 28-105 with either the 24-105F4 L IS or the 24-70 F2.8 L this would give better IQ and low light ability right through the range
 
Assuming you mean the Sigma 24 70 ? Had considered the canon 24 - 105 f4, both good candidates. Thanks

If you want to replace the kit 18-55mm lens i would deffo look at the 17-55mm is f2.8 especailly on a crop 600d. I have just got one for my 7d after consulting peeps on here as i was gonna get the 24-700 L. Im glad i did as comparing the 2 18-55's is like chalk and cheese and you will amazed at the difference in quality size of the thing ;0). It is basically an L series lens optics but built for the EFs crop bodies.

Another thing you may want to take into account is do you intend to go full frame any time soon as the lens i have suggested above wont fit on a full frame camera but deffo the one if ya stay crop for a while

I probs should have said that I am intending going FF at some time in the near future but , possible not for about 18 - 24 months. Thanks for input.

Well you wont lose much money on lens i suggested anyway or do as i did and pick up a 2nd hand one and hopefully lose nothing. But ive only just upgraded to 7d so i'll be staying with that for the forseeable future
 
I have the new Sigma 24-70 f2.8 HSM and a Canon 24-105 f4L and both of them are excellent performers. Both get used on my 7D as much as they do on my 5D3 and both give superb IQ for photos. Since I bought the Sigma 24-70 and paired it with my Canon 70-200 f2.8L MkII the 24-105 has been rather redundant but I certainly wont part with it, unless I can find another focal length L lens instead.
