I guess my 16-35 2.8 is a downright tragedy on my XTi.

I’m a day (literaly) short on this awesome deal. Unlike the pros, who apparently “make some money reselling this gear” I just need the camera!I guess it pays to visit Fstoppers every day. If anyone else sees a sub-$500 t2i deal, PLEASE let me know. Much obliged.

Looks like it either just crashed, or they ran out…

It’s funny, I’ve had the exact opposite issue. My Epson could not make a clean print to save its life. Had a 9000 for years and never a single problem .

While it is in some ways just a fancy 18-55, I would respectfully disagree on three counts:

1) internal mechanics – with a UV filter on it, nothing moves during focusing or zooming, great for CPL filters, and I dislike lenses that extend or spin

2) optics are different – while I have not sampled ever 17-55~ish lens out there, I came from Nikon’s 18-70 previously, and the wide end of the L lens just seems.. different.. in a good way than the wide on the Nikon. (and that is by no means a shabby lens)

3) upgrading – One day we all dream of shooting APS-H or FF sensors (or film) and it’s nice to plan ahead.

To your point tho – 2.8 now in the EF-S 17-55 vs full frame later is not an insignificant thing to consider. If this package is your first DSLR camera ever, then it would be better to go with an 18-55 or 18-135 – but if you are upgrading or switching brands, then you probably already know what you want anyways!
