I don't know how many of you saw these already, but I'll post them anyway.

I'll list the Exif for picture 2, as that's the better one.

Pentax K-x, | f/13 | 1/40s

Shot in Aperture Priority with automatic white balance (Yes, I'm lazy.)

RAW conversion in Lightroom, no other postprocessing.

Taken with Pentax D FA 100mm 2.8 Macro WR.

Entry level DSLR bodies and pro-level glass actually make an awesome combo.

Oh, and one more thing: Yes, I know I need a sensor cleaning.

Took tons of pictures today at the Bronx Zoo. Everyone with a Canon should have a 70-200 in the bag.

Nice shots Jeff. I always have my 24-70 and 70-200 in the bag with the 5DMkII. I loves them both.

I'd love to see a 50-120mm f/4L or f/2.8L. I feel like I'd use that just as often as the 70-200 and 24-70.

17-40L on 400D. Only contrast and color balance in post.

I had a line of one of those locally to try out but never got the pick up scheduled. I don't think I would use it much but it would have its purposes. Especially on the FFs.

Considering you already have 24-70 & 70-200, I doubt you'd use it either. I want one eventually so I can just carry it and 10-22 when I'm out and about, instead of carrying my primes.

EDIT - I supposed I'd be able to do the same with 24-70, but I want bit more reach since longest focal length I've got now is 85.

Been considering getting a 24-105 as well... in theory I think it would be a great outdoor walk-around with the coverage it can provide.

My lenses so far are the kit lenses for the Nikon D50--18-55 and 55-200. I also have the 35mm fixed. I would much prefer an 18-200. Is the basic Nikon one a good lens? Any other suggestions for lenses? I'm looking for something fast that is also forgiving of a lousy photographer.

24-105 is great, but 50-120 would be better, if it could be as sharp as the other 2. The 24-105 is about par with the 17-40 in terms of optics.

Is this statement more for full or crop?

Posted

I could see Canon making something along 50-120 range in EF-S mount as that would approximate 70-200 for their crop sensor, though it's probably not likely. It would be nice if Canon released more EF-S lenses for those of us not upgrading to FF anytime soon.

So it's not quite 50-120 and not from Canon, but I found these.

Yep, I've considered those, but I think in the end, I'd prefer the 24-105 for the build quality and USM. The Tokina is far better than the Sigma but lacks USM. If I end up going Nikon, I will pick up the 24-120mm if the reviews are positive.
