Canon Eos 7d Macro
Looking for a new lens?

I bought a Canon EOS 7D as an update to the Canon Rebel XT, I've had for about four years. I used only the Tamron AF18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC (Vibration Compensation) LD Aspherical (IF) Macro, I'm very happy. I'm not sure if the objective is to limit the capabilities of the 7D however. Any idea or experience? If I had to recommend a replacement for the Tamron or an additional lens, what would it be? I lying on the landscape and HDR.

The sensors in the latest cameras actually have a better resolving power than all but the best lenses in the series L Canon. Therefore, the technical answer is yes, your goal is to limit your photography. However, the real question is: Do you notice it? If your answer is yes, then get one of the lenses Canon L-series at a focal length (for landscapes). You can not do better than that. Now I have to direct your attention to what you think about your images is less than you'd like to blame the lens. I have not the 7D. I hear, however, which is a kind of tense thoroughbred in the focus area automatic. Users who are not prepared for this camera have complained that they think something is wrong with him because of the images out of focus. In most cases, the cause is user inexperience. So I suggest you get some more experience with it before deciding to drop a piece of change to an expensive goal.

The only goal is to use the "auto-zoom" feature is 17-85 mm. 60 mm lens is a lens main, so no "zoom" and 100-400 mm lens is out of the "capture" large flash. The maximum range is 105 mm zoom, you should read the fine instructions 580EX II
