nothing special but it is only my first 60D outing ;)

......now for my next lens :lol::lol::lol:
 
And then your next one and maybe one more after that.
 
Fantastic choice... enjoy it! What's the plan for your next lens? I'd advise a 50mm f/1.8, it produces fantastic results for next to nowt.

Nice one, thank you for that :thumbs: I'll have a look out.

Any advice on a reasonably priced lens in the 55-200/300 range? (or there abouts)

I use the 17-85 in connection with a 70-200 f/4l and a 50mm 1.8, it gives me excellent options over a huge range!

Cheers for that :) isn't the 70-200 f/4l mega bucks though? I've just part ex'd one of my kidneys for the 60D :D:D:D

Sell the other kidney and get a 24-105 f4 L , that's next on my list .:)

:D I'm quite attached to my remaining kidney :lol: nice lens but at those prices, they'll have to wait a while I'm afraid :'(

If I spent that much on a lens so soon after buying the rest of my new gear, I feel divorce would be on the cards!!!!!!!

......:thinking:.........hmmmmmm...........I could buy both and make sure of it :lol::lol::lol:

any more reasonably priced recommendations folks?
 
If you are looking for mega cheap there is the tamron 70-300 which comes in around 100, nice range but fairly soft however is a great starting point! :-)


....kidneys are over-rated anyway!

I think a 2nd hand Canon 55-250 IS is a better option for about £10 more, but it might be worth getting to grips with what you have first and seeing where it leads you. :)

Enjoy your new camera!
 
Congratulationss on the new camera and third recommendation for the Canon 55-250mm IS, absolute bargain for the money.

One kidney is fine, probably get by with one cornea too if you fancy a dearer lens

No, it's about £500, and one of the cheapest L lenses. It's wonderful. The IS version is a lot more expensive though, and so are the F2.8 versions.

The 15-55 is probably the best EF-S lens available from Canon and in my opinion Tamron or Sigma don't have anything in the same class for IQ, or build quality. The two lenses that are on my 7D for a large majority of the time are this and my 70-200 f2.8. Personally I don't think you can get a better lens in that range for the money. It gives a very similar FoV to a 24-70 on FF and I'm sure it was designed to provide crop body users an equivalent of the 24-70 f2.8 but without the "L" or the price tag.

I agree with you, but it's priced in L lens territory and the build quality lets it down. It's not a cheap option for crop bodies.
 
I have the 17-55mm IS and it is indeed excellent, understand where Martyn is coming from though comparing it to L lenses at an equivalent price or lower price (no hood supplied either)
Also own the 70-200mm IS and the image quality from the two seems almost identical and wouldn't hesitate in recommending both as future purchases

Keep reading how good the 60D is and despite my initial disappointment when announced am getting a hankering after one especially having seen how good my daughters 550D is.
