Lens Dilema

[Chrisc]

Hopefully someone can assist with this query...

I have a job next week requiring a short zoom I deally with IS, I am also wishing to bin my Sigma 17-35 EX )- possibly the worst lens I have ever owned.

The following two ideas are on the shortlist, anyone care to comment on the quality of the 17-85 IS vs 28-135 IS or..... 17-85 IS vs Sigma 17-35 at widest end?

Option One
Canon 17-40 L (Handy for wedding groups) and Canon 28-135 IS

Option 2
Canon 17-85 IS

Option two is around £400 cheaper.....

Often lenses will be used wide open, this is where the Sigma 17-35 really suffers on quality towards the edges.

If anyone has any other suggestions I'd welcome them.

Many thanks

i`d go option 1 as i`d like to stay away from the ef-s lens

canon L glass will give great results

Without knowing what camera it is going on, everything is conjecture.

My thoughts also.

Will be used on a 20D.

17-40mmL :mrgreen:

You know you want better than the Sigma you have,. so you have allready distinguished yourself of a man of obvious taste.. why settle? Just get the 17-40mm :)
