Hello Psychoticpanda,

Got the 17-40 and the EFS 60 macro and they cover a lot of subjects in which I am interested.

The 60 is pretty good as a moderate telephoto lens, while giving macro capability, although maybe  I ought to splash out on the 100! But at 72, how much weight am I willing to carry?

Consulted Photozone.de before I decided which lenses to use with the 7d.

No experience with other Canon lenses (Nikon convert) but am a very happy amateur shooter. You may find the 17-40 perfectly adequate as long as you are happy with APC format.

The 7d quickly persuaded me I had no need of FF! Alistair
