Hi Mr Gordon

I currently use the EF-S 18-200mm Lens and want to upgrade.

Please can you advise if this Lens if compatable & recommended for the 50D?

[cameralabs]

Yep, it works great on a 50D.

[cameralabs]

Good spot! It was actually at the base of Machu Picchu - and very tasty too...

Hi Almraya, we've actually compared the 24-105mm against the 24-70mm in our 24-105mm full review at the cameralabs website. There's a link to this to the right of the video window on our 24-105mm video tour...

wrong 1D is APSH... 1ds series is full frame...

[eurodestination]

That's a great help Gordon. Many thanks.

Great review! My pro photog buddy recommended this lens. Does the L really stand for luxury?

[RyanTheTuber]

For landscape photography, would this cut it? The 16-35mm f/2.8L USM MKII is wider by a millimeter (not really crazy about that) but it's brighter than the 17-40mm by a full stop. With that stop advantage, it's almost twice as expensive.

I mean...

if I get the 17-40mm... I could get a 50mm f/1.4 in the same year!

if I get the 16-35mm... then... that's it. No more toys for me. lol.

Hi there, nice vid. Can i ask: what in your opinion is the best: nikon d3s or canon 1d mkiv? thanks :)

Hi Mr. Gordon

can tell me how long does canon eos 500d, 550d or 60d can shoot a video ?

how long they can shoot video for 720p and 1080p?

Tq for ur respond...

I think the equivalent on a small frame is great (27-65mm) but I doubt wether it is good for wedding photography at full frame ..

Also, I've heard that in 2 or 3 years full frame bodies might be at the price of around €1000 or so

Is this actually possible??? because I hardly doubt it will ...

[sypher7]

@tukiexxx Indeed. It would be an awesome all around general use lens on any crop frame including the 550D. More equivalent to a 24 or 28-70mm.

Hi, can I use this len with canon 550d??? Thank you
