Adorama-com, BHphotovideo-com, are both great retailers with excellent customer service.

I purchased the items on your list except the battery grip. I bought everything direct from Amazon except the 24-105 lens from Cameta

Adorama and B&H; Photo as mentioned as well as Amazon are good choices. BTW, I might also recommend looking at the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens for the 7D since 24mm isn't very wide at all with an APS-C sensor.

I would hesitate to buy the EF-S lens. Some of the 7d owners, including myself, would probably consider, in not very distant future, either upgrade to a FF or get a 2nd FF body. EF-S only works for APS-C sensor. If you later get a 1d or 5d body, you will have to sell your EF-S lens.If FF is a possibility for you in future, the 24-105 would be a better investment.

Yes. I have a 7D (and a 40D) and use this lens all the time. It's still a terrific quality lens and unbeatable value, IMO. (I also have the Canon 10-22mm, which is a fantastic lens, but more a specialty lens.)

I don't have enough information yet....what other lenses do you own, and what camera would you be shooting with? Are you the main photographer? Are you bringing lights or at least a high(er) powered flash unit?This is a great lens for macro use, but with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 this cannot be considered a fast lens at all. While a 50mm lens is fantastic for shooting in a more photojournalistic style, you will probably want something a little longer for portraits (especially if you're using a full-frame digital or film camera). Please respond with what camera(s) you'll be using and what other lenses you own and I'll give you more detail I don't have enough information yet....what other lenses do you own, and what camera would you be shooting with?

The 24-105 L with IS if not too expensive. If you want wide to telephoto lens the 18-200 canon lens would be fine but not as good as the L.

The t2i is an excellent camera that is capable of using ANY lens that Canon makes. I use one with an EF100-400L, EF300 f/4L, etc with great success. It has the same sensor as the venerable 7D, and it's IQ is very near equal. The only real difference is the 7D has faster autofocus and frame rate for sports/quick critters, etc...

I also have a 7d and it works just fine. The speed is great and it holds a fair amount of photos if you shoot in RAW.

Sound like you have a nice kit, but does sound like and upgrade is in order For your t3 this would make a great but quit long portrait lens, and a good lens for some sports. Keep in mind though it is not a zoom. One person here mentions the 70-200 f2.5 zoom which is a great lens for what you should consider. I would put it on a full frame body or the 7d. One more thing I would not trade, as I said you have a nice kit. In yur shoes I would spring for the 7d body and this lens for starters. Keep your curent kit for backup. The 50mm f1.4 would be something I would want to great portrait lens for t3 and 7d.

This should fit a Canon A-1, unless the lens attached is super-telephoto. I mainly used this for my Canon 7D with a very large diameter 15-85mm lens. I expect it will fit the 7D with an even longer lens. I have no problem putting in the Canon A-1 with a 35-135mm lens. It would be a force fit with the power winder attached to the A-1. I removed the power winder from the A-1 and it fits fine. The case does stretch a bit. In case this applies to you, the Canon AE-1 film camera also fits well in this case. The case is under $6 and is a good value for what you get. Buy one and see if it fits. Amazon has a great return policy. You can always return if it does not fit, provided you do it quickly.

Jason, I am a newbie to taking pictures using anything other than a point and shoot!! But, I love this lens. I used it last night for my grandchildren's Christmas program at church. The church was dimly lit with the stage lit. I used no flash with it set on night scene. The pictures are great, even for an amateur like me. As far as the motor, all I know is that I just screw it on the body and start taking pictures. I love the range of the zoom. I could zoom out and get the entire group or in and get my precious ones. I would buy it again with no hesitation. It is much lighter than my Tamron low light lens, so if either will work for the situation, I choose this lens.

I absolutely love my canon 7D. The Canon 7D mark ii is supposed to be a little better with low light. You really can't beat the price right now on the canon 7D. It has really dropped in price since last year.(about 700.00) I have a Nikon too and I love the menu on the canons. They are easier to use. I love to photo birds in flight and I have gotten some amazing photos. You can buy a fast lens for sports too. The 70-200 lens with 2.8 f/ stop is a great sports photography lens. That is on my wish list. Hope this helps and good luck!

I have a 7D. It works with all of my lenses. AF and Aperture controls work great. Although when you get close up manual focus can be a better way to go.

I'd suggest you use what you have before getting additional gear! I own this lens and I have not needed any ring flash. the Canon flash/lineup set low would all suffice. Or even a light reflector would work as well. As my grandmother would say" Finish what you have on your plate first, before adding something else,!

I believe UDMA7 is a fairly recent development and you'd probably do just as well with something in the 4 range but like the other person said check with Canon. There's no point in spending more than you have to. Contacting them or checking their support page online is best.

It's sold with or without. Make sure you see where it says Bundle that it designates the 24-105L. I bought the Body only & bought the 24-105 from a Friend who bought the bundle. Great Camera & Lens.

The reason i ask is D7100 is a 23.5 mm sensor and this lens is made for a 36mm sensor or a full frame sensor.. May be you should look at some DX sensors .. If you are inclined on this lens then i would suggest to save up a little more and get the D600 or D800... its definitely worth it and you will enjoy it a lot...just my suggestion.. :)

Photofun123-I am in a similar situation. What did you decide on and what do you think of it? I will be getting a 50d and only one lens. My main subject will be my toddler. I am considering 24-70 and 24-105. Thanks.

I really recommend you this combo if you are starting on video or photography. The body of the canon 7d is excellent and the lenses that come with the kit work well. If you considered yourself a Pro or if you are looking for a specific kind of lens, then I recommend you to buy just the body!
