If I go FF, I definitely want to go wider than 35, which is the widest EF focal length that I currently own. Thus, I am looking at purchasing the 17-40. http://www.flickr.com/photos/staxnet/

I use the 35 so much, I guess I am a little worried the 17-40 will sit in the bag. Then again, I do use the 10-22 quite a bit on the crop. http://www.flickr.com/photos/staxnet/

I use my 35L for about 95% of time (I love it that much), so the 17-40 doesnt see much action...but it definitely does have its uses and is nice to have in the bag.

I REALLY want the 24L, only bought the 17-40 because i can't afford it right now...sad NADA...sold off my gear and bought a motorcycle. I might be back shooting someday...
