So, and I know it's around double the price :eek:, should I consider the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM. It's pretty unlikely I will want to go FF, but will this give me a better all-round solution. Only thing I have heard is that it is not very good build quality but it gives good results.

Thanks for the quick replies! So suggestions so far go for a 50mm 1.4 instead of the 1.8 or the 85mm 1.8 I guess it depends how big "indoors" is and whether I want group shots indoors. I was thinking more that maybe if it was a party then I would want some head and shoulder shots...

I use a 40D and am looking for a reasonable (cost) prime to use for family portraits, events etc. Has anyone used both of these on a crop camera and what are your thoughts / recommendations as to which you feel is best - and why. Thanks Alan

7 day shop for me too. I have 2 from them for my 40D and they are both better than the original Canon as they last longer.

Les That is a brilliant shot. Not sure I am ready for a 7D yet but I want one!! Thanks for the review too.

Not sure what camera you have got but does the 'A' setting by any chance mean 'Auto'? OOps .. just re-read and see you have a D5000!

Here's my go....

Congrats on the new lens!

Good choice, and those feelings of guilt will fade as soon as you start using it.

For the price I don't think you can beat the 70-300 IS. I have always used one on my 40D and am more than happy with it. I also have a 300mm F4L IS but that is heavier and doesn't give you the range, even though it is obviously a better quality lens. I would definitely go with the 70-300 IS...

Why should you be miffed :thinking: You asked to hear what people on here thought and that's exactly what you got - peoples thoughts about what the problem might be...!
