5D Mark II with my 3 lenses question

(1/5) > >>

JPlendPhoto:
I want to go full frame sometime this year and it looks like I’ll be going for the 5D Mark II because of the price. I currently have 3 lenses, 17-40mm f/4 L, 70-200mm f/4 L and 50mm f/1.8. I was wondering if anybody has had experience in using these lenses on the 5D Mark II and has anyone used the 17-40mm as a general purpose lens? I would rather get something like the 24-70mm or 24-105mm as a general purpose lens, but because of a tight budget, for now I will have to stick with the 3 lenses I have.

Thanks very much!

They will be fine to start with. You might want something longer than 200mm, but wait and see.

You've got everything covered in my book. 17-200mm's plus a Fast 50mm. Done. Perhaps a flash?

I have a Jessops 360 AFDC Flash, I was given it a few years ago… Don’t know much about flash, can you recommend a good flash I could buy at some point which would go well with the 5D Mark II?
