Ok, I did it. I have been the owner of a 10D for 5 whole days now. I will be shooting some drag racing this weekend, so I'll hopefully be able to post some to get some feedback.
Now the question. What is everybody using for their walk around lense in the pits for static stuff? Even you Nikon guys can chime in to since the Nikon crop factor is 1.5, and the Canon is 1.6. Right now I am selling my 28-70 f/2.8L, and 20-35 consumer zoom on Ebay. I should net around $1200 for both of these. The way I see it I have only 2 choices of premium glass. The first is the 17-40mm f4L (27.2-64 on the 10D) for $650, or second choice 24-70 f/2.8L (38.4-112 on the 10D) for $1,180. I don't have any EXIF data to look at from all the film I shot, and I can't really remember the range I usually used the 28-70 at. I already e-mailed one expert Tyson on what he uses, now I'm looking to gather other opinions. Sigma and other non OEM lense makers are not an option, but I'm interested in what zoom ranges everybody's pit lense falls in. I'm also not interested in primes, I won't give up the versatility of the zoom.
Thanks,
Tim
