I do want an EFS17-85 ideally (but I keep looking at 5d's -  )
The 70-200 F4 L is ace outdoors, but it did not come out the bag at the NEO as it's not fast enough for indoors. |
Thanks for a reply Stu. I was writing my last reply when you posted so missed it.
The 40D doesn't come with 18-55 fortunatly, the kit lens is the 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS. Hence I have been confused as to whether I should go for this lens (works out dirt cheap with the 40D) or get a body only and perhaps get some L glass or a lens with lower aperture.
I disagree with the 70-200 f/4 L being too slow for indoors. I got some nice results at the Neo. I just uploaded a couple to show, I haven't had time to put any on my website yet. I've only really had chance to go through to pick some nice/relevant ones out for the magazine race report. But still, considering I was using a camera I wasn't used to (20D borrowed from neo-buggy Phil), and that I'm a total SLR newbie I was very impressed with what the 70-200 f/4 L gave.
