[QUOTE="TomTomTuning, post: 1142310, member: 68774"] The EF-S 17-55mm F2.8 IS is a great lens, I don't really think the IS is that important since it's a wide-normal focal length lens. But it being F2.8 and "L" image quality is what really makes that lens shine. If you don't plan on upgrading to a 5DII anytime soon then that will be a great all-around lens. And even if you do upgrade, you should be able to get most of your money back. As far as the telephoto lens, I definitely recommend at least getting the 70-200 F2.8 IS (either mark I or Mark II). I know so many people that either get the non IS version or the F4, and eventually sell it to upgrade to the better version. But If you do 100% studio work and your always stopped down (smaller then F4). Then I guess the F4 version would be fine, It's even reported to be sharper then the F2.8 versions. [/QUOTE]
