Can somebody help me decide which lens I should grab, 10-22mm or this lens on my 70D body?!

Depends on your current and future needs. I have the 17-40 and am happy with it. I also have a full frame camera and that was why I brought this lens. The 17-40 will act as a 27-64 on the 70D while the 10-22 is a EF-S lens which will not work if you ever want to upgrade to full frame.

I would recommend the 17-40mm unless you are really into wide angle nature shots.

I have had both lenses and with a crop sensor I like the 10-22mm better than this one even though it's not L glass. I used to shoot a lot of events and nightlife and wanted that ultra wide look without going completely fisheye and the 10-22 is perfect for that. With a crop sensor the 17-40 won't look as wide as if you had it on a full frame camera. Again it just depends what you are trying to accomplish with the lens but if I had to do it all over again and had another crop sensor cam I would buy the 10-22mm without questioning it. I only traded in my 10-22mm for the 17-40mm when I sold my 7D and got a 5D MKIII. I have had both lenses and with a crop sensor I like the 10-22mm better than this one even though it's not L glass.

The 10-22 on you 70D is going to closely match the 17-40 range after adjusting for crop. It really is a personal choice. I stayed away from EF-S lenses because I knew I would eventually get a full frame camera, but if you really need the ultra wide of 16mm the the 10-23 is the only thing to get you there.

Hardy,Thanks for the info about getting better lenses. I just "bit the bullet" and bought the 24-105mm L lens. I have heard this same wise advice from other photographers, and I am looking forward to getting sharper photos with the new lens, and I will try to get only L lenses from now on. In the end, you truly get what you pay for.

I do not have a FF DSLR, (I have a 50d and 10-22mm) but what I know is that they have the same field of view, so I think the 60D and 10-22mm combo will be great.

I own a D7100 and use 4 lens on it, The 18-300mm is a little heavy but it's a "Can Do" lens for most things. Add the 10-24mm and you can really open a lot of WIDE doors. The 50mm f/1.4G is Awesome at night, you won't believe how great your shoots are. I also have the 35mm, great for a light weight great shooting day. These 4 you won't miss anything.

The lens I mostly use is the EF-S 17-85mmf/3-5.6 67mm Wide angle and it's beautiful!! change to just a standard 70-300mm telephoto zoom and go to space! Sweet thing about EOS is if you were shoot'n any of the lower EOS models (650D..1100D...} you will instantly be familiar with the 60D and higher!!!

I have both the 20mm and 50mm lenses and I think my 20mm better for portraits, but that is because I like getting close to my subject. You can't go wrong with this lense it hands down my favorite.

The 24-70 2.8 is a magnificent lense. I would not even think of buying the 24-105.

I have both of these and they are excellent lenses. This is my profession and it I were to choose go with the 17-70, unless you don't need the extra reach and you mostly work in low light.

Thanks Michael for sharing your experience. I myself ended up buying a 60d with 18-135 lens kit about a week ago from amazon and I am very happy both with the body as well as the Lens. I had a T2i with 18-55mm before this purchase, and I am not a pro but so far i haven't seen any degradation on the image quality between the two lenses. I like the 18-135 for its decent quality and a very practical zoom range. Not to mention that 60D is a far better body than T2i.

Hello Amy, I really haven't used this product since I bought it; I initially thought it was the 24-70mm f 2.8L. As a matter of fact, I will be returning it. I am, therefore, not the best person to give a critique. However, I'm sure you'll find these links useful: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-28-70mm-f-2.8-L-USM-Lens-Review.aspxhttp://www.fredmiranda.com/24-70/

David, have to explain that I do not own a 24-105L only a 24-70L, but I have seen the results that they produce and both are great, obviously the 24-105 gives you a little more reach. 24-70L with the 5D MKIII has worked really fine it is a great lens in a great body. If you are choosing one I would analyze my other lenses or what you will buy in the near future. Other than that both are excellent lenses. Hope this helps.

Not really, its about .5 inches longer and it has a 72 mm filter tread vs the 67mm of the 14-54, this gives you 2 mm more on the wide end and 6 on the longer end, as for weight it its heavy but quite comfortable to handle, so if you have the budget go for it, it will mean not having to buy another wide lens (as the 11-22) and that means some important weight savings

I've had opportunity to acquire or try out most of the lenses (sans the 43mm ltd, unfortunately) since last posting. Here's my list for a newbie weighing performance, price, and availability:1. DA 40mm - Excellent all around and compact, compact, compact! 2. DA 70mm - Great color saturation, sharpness if not as fast as the FA 77mm3. FA 31mm LTD. Expensive! But might as well be welded to my K-7 right now. Amazing all around.4. My FA 50mm 1.4 has been bumped down to 4 or 5, given softness at f1.4 and lack of contrast. the 55mm 1.4 is a sleeper though, although I haven't had opportunity to try it.

Haven't used the 10-30 so I can't compare. I have both the 10mm & 18mm prime lenses which I use most of the time and much prefer (on the V1 body). Im actually looking to sell my 11-27.5 as I rarely use it.

Speaking from my experience with the Rokinon 8mm, which is a little wider than your 10-22, it is noticeably less wide. At lower focal ranges the difference between a few mm's is more significant than when higher. This lens has very little to no distortion which is the reason i finally made the switch form the much wider 8mm, and honestly you get more detail when zoomed in a little more.

I never owned 28-70 but been told that it's a great lens with excellent image quality. I have the 24-70 and it's my go-to lens for all purpose shooting on a full-frame body. Superb IQ at premium price but has no VR.I believe 28-70 is slightly heavier, shorter and fatter than 24-70; however, build quality of both 28-70 and 24-70 is excellent. Are you not satisfied with the IQ of 28-70? Do you need something wider than 28mm? Are you using DX or FX body? Like the last commenter, I too would miss 24mm wide angle if I had 28-70. If I had a 28-70, I would sell it and buy 24-70 Nikon, but that's me.http://betterfamilyphotos.blogspot.com/2012/04/nikon-28-70-28d-vs-nikon-24-70-28g.html I never owned 28-70 but been told that it's a great lens with excellent image quality.

Hi, I was faced with the same dilemma last year. I chose 14-45. It is a sharp lens with good auto focus and stabilization. I use it mainly as a travel lens and photograph historical monuments.Prakash
