Hey guys looking for a all around good walk around lens from a T3i. No tamrons because i already have the 15-70, which hundreds of you already recommend for me..

Isn't the 15-70 a good walk around lens?

You mean 17-50? that is a walk around lens? The tamron 28-75 is a decent lens too

wait you just made thread complaining that the 17-50 went up $90 dollars. Why does it matter if you already have it?

im confused. So you have the 17-50? Get a canon 70-200 or tokina 11-16 used

I share this account with another person, I already have the tamron 17-50 and am just looking for something different

but you need to give us an idea of what you want, because 17-50 is a perfect walk around focal length on (what i'm assuming is probably) a crop sensor.
if you want wider, the tokina 11-16 f/2.8 is a fucking awesome lens. but that range is small, so it's not really going to be a walk around lens.
if you want way more zoom, a 70-200 is good.
basically just gave you the same advice as everybody else in this thread i guess.

Buy a fast prime? Canon 28mm 1.8, 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.8...

it's the best UWA on the market right now imo, get it believe us dude. Evan uses it on his fs100 and it's amazing, he uses it in almost all of his videos check it out.

I would normally find this funny, but in this situation, its not like he's stoked on the lens just because I use it. he's stoked because he's watched a video of mine and noticed how good the 11-16 looks. It couldve been anyone, it just happened to be me.

I'm sure you have a pretty good idea of how it looks now because of Evan's edits, but unfortunately I don't have any sample shots. I've only been able to borrow one a couple times for some shoots, but it's such a fun lens. Right now I'm saving up for the Nikon mount version for my FS100

If you were to adapt this to your t2i, would there be major quality loss? I feel like balancing what lenses you want for the t2i/fs100 would be hard.

zero quality loss. You can buy nikon G -> EOS adapters for about 80 bucks and they adjust the aperture on the nikon lens. Ive been kind of wanting a B cam (like a t2i) and have been thinking about picking up this body/adapter combo.

Word. It wouldn't be a bad idea at all considering you can get a body for under 400 off of CLP.

really i didn't even have an opinion one way or the other to begin with. i just wanted to see some sort of sample footage/pictures from anyone here to get a better idea of the results it produced.

I was gonna say will but he doesn't own one, and I couldn't think of anyone with really good videos off the top of my head that consistently uses it, another person who uses it alot is Mike Blatt

obviously... I was only thinking of people on NS though so he could contact them easily if he had questions, or wanted to talk to them about it, or at the very least relate to them...

i would definitely not consider a 50mm to be a good general use walk around lens on a crop sensor, and i wouldn't consider an 85mm to be a good walk around lens on any sensor.

Well OP has a general zoom, 17 is fine for follows. A fast prime would be way more beneficial regardless of the focal length (85mm was just an example). I am coming at this from a photo perspective, but I think I'd pick up a fast prime before an UWA regardless of photo or video.
