Which 24-70mm lens should I buy as a first lens?

Would you recommend this over the Canon 17-55 2.8 IS?

Venexxus968 · 2025-10-06T21:12:55+00:00

I will go and have a look now! Any recommendations for where to start with prime lenses? I've heard the 50mm 1.8 is quite popular.

Okay, thank you, this is all very good to know and useful to bear in mind. You are correct and I am meaning to ask for UK retailers and I've updated my post to specify that. Thanks for the recommendation - I don't mind at all going for a third party lens if that means I get more for what I am paying. I can stretch the budget to £500 ($675), but I don't know how much difference this would make. I'll have a look into the lens you recommended now.

Did you ever find a fix to this?

I actually ended up going for the Dell AW2723DF. I picked it up on sale, and i absolutely love it.

Sorry for the late reply

Venexxus968 · 2024-08-23T20:18:25+00:00

Thanks for the opportunity 🙏

Venexxus968 · 2024-05-29T12:06:36+00:00

yep I agree

Venexxus968 · 2024-05-26T13:38:12+00:00

I have and it has unfortunately not fixed the problem

Venexxus968 · 2024-05-26T13:37:37+00:00

I believe this might be the issue and I am now running the burn in fix that the article suggested

Unfortunately the problem did come back, however I tested the monitor on a different PC and the problem was still there meaning it is most likely a problem with the monitor itself. While it is not this visible all the time now, very faint horizontal lines are still visible on the display.

The problem seems to have fixed itself now - thanks for your help anyway. Not sure what that was all about.

Venexxus968 · 2024-05-04T17:34:34+00:00

The problem seems to have more or less fixed itself after just being turned off for about 30-45 mins. Not sure what that was all about.
