Re: General / Walk around lens for 7DMkII

F2.8 is not fast enough for indoor action under most home lighting without bumping up the ISO a bunch. With my 17-55 IS, I still breakout the external flash for capturing my young nephews indoors at f5.6. Remember, at 2.8 with your subjects relatively close to the camera, as they are indoors, your DOF is rather narrow even at 17mm. On the other hand, for taking shots indoors of static objects, my 17-55 is great.

Consider a 15-85 IS or similar high quality wide-to-tele lens for versatility, and be ready to employ your flash unit.
