Forseti, I have heard that argument before and frankly it doesn't sit comfortably with my logic. It's all if's and but's. What the OP should be doing is matching the correct lenses to his camera and not working on the assumption that he, or she, 'might' go full-frame later. To me a lens built for the 35mm/full-frame format is a total waste on a crop camera, as the photographer will only be using the centre of the lens anyway. I honestly see no advantage in doing this from a technical, or cost point of view. And if the OP had had thoughts of going full frame in the first place why didn't he or she buy a used 5d classic, for which there are many good used examples coming up for sale right now and a lot cheaper than a 7d. Sorry, but the best quality lenses for crop cameras are the latest breed of EF-S lenses. They are not cheap and the lens I mention above is as good as the 24-105 L and probably better on a 7d.
