k, I just read all 7 pages of this thread... I'm about to purchase the 7D, already use the Canon 70-200 2.8 IS. What should I get for a "general purpose lens"? And, (maybe I should know this), but, what is L glass?

Yes - you should know that, since you have one.

It's Canon's 'L' series of lenses. Higher quality, more expensive, and often white.


The 50mm 1.4 would be a good general purpose lens. I like primes though. If you prefer a zoom, look for something in a range similar to the kit lenses. 18-55, 28-70 - something like that.

Depends on what you shoot yet I'd Recommend The Tamron 'ifi' & I Got; Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 VC; you got you base covered for General Video and Photo, VC is same as IS it'll be useful to you; while the 50mm 1.4 is a great prime; with 7d's crop sensor you wont be able to shoot in tight places same problem you'll have with the 24-70 which is awesome by the way i had it for whole 5 days lol;
while the 17-50 is no 11-16 it covers pretty much your general stuff IMHO
