Lens 'overlap'
KOsey wrote:
I'm new to the forum and hoping for some good advice. I currently have a T3i and I'm about to upgrade to a 6D which will require I also upgrade my 'everyday' lenses. The lenses I will need to replace are my 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II 'kit' lens and my 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II zoom. I have already decided on the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens and the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM lenses. I'm concerned I won't be satisfied with 24mm for wide-angle shots, so I'm considering also purchasing a wider angle lens and have my eye on the EF 17-40mm f/4L USM. My question is: how much difference will I notice between 17mm and 24mm at the wide end? I realize these lenses overlap some, but my concern is gaining a wider angle. I've looked online at the various wide-angle lenses - both fixed and zoom - and the price difference is huge! Still, I don't want to drop $700 on the 17-40 if there isn't a noticeable advantage over the 24-105 for landscape shots.
Thank you!
First, the difference between 17 & 24 is ENORMOUS!! enough said! I am a huge fan of the 15-85 IS USM. It has great IQ that is almost on par with my 70-200f/4 IS L. Excellent IS & fast whisper quiet AF. The FL fits in great with a 70-XXX lens. If you have not yet bought a long zoom, have a look at the Tamron 70-300VC. An outstanding lens at a great price. I believe your US sellers have some money back deals on, which means it is going for $350 after rebate. Well worth a look.
