Re: Upgrade 17-55 f/2.8 with 24-70 f/4 for 7D mkii?

Welcome to the forum!

I cannot address the Canon 24-70mm options, but based upon using my 24-105L on 7D Mark II cameras, you will certainly want to add that 10-18mm, or a 10-22mm, for tight spaces both indoors and outdoors. I really like my EF-S 10-22mm lens; the 10-18mm option was still in the future, not even rumored yet, when I bought my 10-22mm. I really like being able to zoom to 22mm, and might feel limited if using a 10-18mm lens.

I cannot say how much better the 24-70mm lenses would be, than my 24-105L, for traveling. I would think being able to reach 105mm might be an acceptable trade-off.

I wear a badge and pistol, and make evidentiary images at night, which incorporates elements of portrait, macro, still life, landscape, architecture, and PJ. I enjoy using both Canons and Nikons.
