Lens compatibility????? On a T3i

[Gerilynn]

Will this lens go on my T3i?Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens (white box) for Canon EOS Digital

[jrhoffman75]

Yes, it will work.

Not only will it work, it is the 'best buy' in a Canon full on pro level "L" lens!

Thank you!  I am so undecided in what to purchase.  I have 3 stand lenses and never get the shots I'm after so I'm trying to purchase a lense that is amazing and overall the best investment, otherwise I'm just gonna give up trying to take all the time with just ok photography.  Is there any other lens recommended for action, portrait, walk around lens????

[jrhoffman75]

What are the three lenses you have?

[Gerilynn]

Canon 50 mm standard Ef 1:1.8

canon zoom 75-300  EF 75-300mm 1:4-5.6. 111 USM

18-55 canon efs (broke auto focus)

The best walking around lens on a T3i is the 17-55mm f/2.8 IS. The 24-105mm f/4L has more range and may be a bit better optically, but it lacks wide-angle capability and the extra stop of speed. The 24-105 is (at least arguably) the best walker on a full-frame camera, and a FF camera won't even accept the 17-55. So if you see a 5D or 6D in your future, you may want to buy the 24-105 now.

Ok, u have me thinking, what about this lens:

Canon EF-S 15-85 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Lens

It has the extra zoom I'm looking for,

Bob from Boston is referring to the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens.  Since your kit lens of this focal length is broken, this is the lens to replace it with.

It is not going to be a cure all, neither would the EF 24-105mm F4L IS.  Is it, or are both, capable of taking great photos? Absolutely.

 If you could post some samples of what your photography lacks, it would be much helpful.  At least, more of what goal do you have for yourself.
