I just sold my t2i with all my lenses, and looking to buy a used full frame camera with one lens that might be best for indoor sports, portraits, and landscape. Any suggestions?

What camera are you looking at buying?

You'd be better off not limiting yourself to one lens.
That full-frame camera is going to want to have decent glass.
Most wide-range zooms are a compromise.
That's why you don't ususally see a long range in the more expensive lenses. You want to do indoor sports?- that tells me you need a fast, fairly long lens, at least 2.8. Landscape, not always, but usually a wide angle.
What kind of indoor sports? The answer will help us help you with lens choices. The "sports" lens will most likely be good for portraits too, if it's 85 mm or longer.

I use 28-135 and 18-200 and 100 macro and 100-400L for critters.
The 28-135 is the least used lens in the bag, the other 3 pretty much live on their respective bodies

...but I bet your 18-200 dosen't fit a full-frame body.
The 100-400 sounds liks a great lens though.

Get a 70-200F2.8 lens but why go full frame? 7d is an awesome sports camera! high frame per second!

Hi ejm7: I own a Canon 5D Mark II It is a fantastic camera, the only draw back is it only shoots 3.5 frames per second, which in an action shot can be a bit slow. I also have the 70-200 mm usm "L" series lens with a 1.4 teleconverter and for birds in flight or other long distance photography it just doesn't have the reach. You could go for a 400 mm for reach but those things are heavy. Having said that the 400 mm is my next "I want that lens" Hope this helps.

Along with the 70-200 is an excellent choice. Maybe add a converter later for a bit more reach. Great for portraits, indoor sports. Not wide enough for your landscapes, that will require another lens down the road.
