    Which Canon lenses do you photogs like?

    I just picked up a pristine Canon EOS 20D body, unhooked the kit lens and attached my old Canon Ultrasonic EF series 28-105 mm lens to it. Works beautifully, but with the multiplier, it's not quite wide enough anymore.

    Which lenses do you Canon DSLR-using photographers like for photographing models?

      24-70 f2.8 ,now and then 50mmf1.8 for change of pace, I love my 70-200 but rarely shoot in places big enough to use it.

        17-40mm f/4 L is nice if you like wide angle.

          Sigma 12-24mm if you like REALLY wide angles (although on a 20D the extreme effect isn't as pronounced)

                    First off...JFK is not a content shooter.

                    Secondly...He uses Nikon, not Canon.

                      I got the sigma 10-20 what a great lens but I cant see using that for people pics.
