tamron for the f2.8. if you're staying 1.6x
canon if you want to go to full frame in the future, it'll be your investment.

I borrowed the Tamron 90mm macro, and it works on my full frame. Its great... but loud... and it hunts when i was walking around in the evening at the night market.

Yes the Tamron 90's focusing is super slow and is a bit noisey, however it's quite sharp and pretty nice bokeh for the price. I just used it today for some portraits and was quite impressed. The poor man's Nikkor 105mm F2.8 AF-S micro lens.

if i got a 50mm f/1.4 prime lens, would it be able to take indoor pictures? what are the chances i might still be able to require a flash?
ie. dinner photo, as dim enough that maybe just candle style lighting.

I'd get a 30 or 35mm lens for indoor shots using a non-fullframe body.

Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

The color, contrast sharpness and bokeh doesn't lose to the 70-200 f2.8IS that my friend has, and the black is cool IMO. I would even say that color might be a little bit better. AF speed is pretty fast though it's not USM-fast. If you have a 70-200 f4L though I'm not sure if I'd want to move to this one. F4 and F2.8 isn't that huge of a difference, IMO, unless it's like indoors with no flash and desperately dark, in which you'd rather have IS anyways. http://www.flickr.com/photos/diondit...7619158977831/
This set was shot with the 80-200L during an ultimate game. No sharpening added in post, just a few WB/color tweaks if even that. Body was 5D2... the AI Servo ain't bad!

Just a note, the 80-200 is no longer serviced by Canon. If something goes wrong, your stuck looking for third party repairs. great lens for the money, but its a gamble.

Yeah the servicing was what worried me the most since my F4 L is almost new. Guess I'll stick with what I got  | |

I love my 24-70mm, congrats. That and my 70-200 2.8 IS are the only lenses that leave my bag anymore.

i was deciding between the 17-55 F2.8 IS (yup, i'm on a APS-C body), the 24-105 F4 L IS, or the 24-70...i'm glad i went with the 24-70 over those 2 lenses.
it would be nice if the 24-70 came with an IS version, but i'm sure they're working on it and it'll probably be a $2K lens at that point.
now it's time to look for a wider angle to fill the lower gap

I find I don't really need IS on the 24-70 since it is a fast and mostly wide lens.

That is true and that was also another selling point for me to go with the F2.8
i'm guessing you must be on a FF body? i like the 24 as a walk around, but i find it a bit narrow for landscape shots (compared to my 17-85mm kit lens of course).
perhaps it's time to save up for the 16-35mm? or perhaps i should just go with the 10-22mm EF-S....

Not FF yet, still on the 40D, but I'd love to get a 5D soon tho. I was thinking about he 10-22mm myself, but I wanted more distortion than it gives so I've pretty much decided on the 15mm 2.8 fisheye.

the fisheye's are alway interesting to shoot with!
i just don't like the cost of the 10-22 EF-S...reviews seem kinda so so as well on that lens...guess i'll just use my kit lens in the meantime for wider shots.
