Hi,
I am going to buy a canon D7 as my first APS-C (I use to own a Panasonic FZ38).
With it, I want to buy good lens to start (don't want cheap one and buy good ones in few months)
I am not familiar with the different ranges offered by manufactors and specially because I never had to think about it before (all ranges where in one lens).
To be known, in the futur, I think to add to my 7D the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
Now I need to determine which lens to buy as my main lens. I was thinking about one of those included in the pack, the 15-85mm. Then I noticed on the reiviews the problems at high aperture. Then I started to consider the canon 17-55 f2.8 USM (more expensive but better review). Is it a good "main lens" ? Any other propositions ? (price should be < 1000€).
I feel if I take the 17-55 I will have a hole with the "futur" 70-200. is that a real problem ?
Note : I also plan to buy the canon FF 50mm 1.4 USM
I am open to any suggestion, even completly different to what I am planning to if it's a better option <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
