I had the 7D and moved to the full frame 5DIII. I had all EF lenses at the time so I didn't have to sell/buy any lenses to get rid of EF-S lenses. I think the 5DIII is a great camera. I've had it for 3 years and never had a regret! I also didn't find a huge learning curve moving from the 7D to the 5DIII, which was nice.
Thanks Laura. Helpful comments. What difference, if any, have you noticed in image quality?

Thinking of upgrading from the trusty and enriching 7D to a full-frame body. Could those of you who have made that move please share your experience and advice?
Thank you.
Thank you.

You can try to sell on ebay but you'll be giving it away. Keep your lens as its perfect for video. But, upgrade to the 24-105L. You won't regret it.
Thank you for your comment ...

Check Ken before making a move is my motto:

Ken is a great and frank source of information. Thanks for reminding me, as I haven't zeroed in on him for a long while. His review is amazingly positive. Even he was surprised how positive his was on this lens. I'll try to remember him more often.

Can you explain why that 18-135 EF-S IS lens isn't good enough in terms of your results?
Is this based upon actual and specified need, desire, or just wanting to be seen with a white lens?
Two things: I'm lending the 18-135 to my husband who has a new camera but no lenses. So I'm wondering if I should give it to him and buy a new lens for myself. The sharpness of the 70-200 is amazingly better than the 18-135 which I hadn't noticed since I use the 18-135 most of the time.

I have regretted getting rid of every lens I have sold. The only lenses I keep are 2.8 or faster, but every now and then I wish I had them back. for instance, I send in a lens for repair and the kit lens could have been a good back up. going to be crawling in the mud...wet med...puddles...for a documentary for the Army, would rather have those kit lenses to bang up.
I'm wondering if I would notice a significant increase in quality. For example, the 70-200 "L" is, to me, noticeable sharper.

Is the 18-135mm lens the newer STM lens? If so, I'd keep it. It's a nice lens.

My Canon 7D came with an 18 - 135 mm kit lens. I also have a 12 - 24 mm and a 70 - 200 "L." The 18 - 135 is my workhorse, but I'm thinking of upgrading.
Have any of you replaced your kit lens with a comparable lens of better quality? If so, can you share your experiences?
Thank you ...
