I finally pulled the trigger and bought a used one at pretty good price.
This is one of my first test shots and I am happy with the result. Not that wide on crop, but I will buy 5d classic soon ...

I published my thoughts about this little lens over on the phoblographer.com if anyone cares to read about it, though I'm sure if you're here on this thread you already have a good opinion about this lens :D

That's where I recognize you from (read the article from when they brought you on - congrats). Love the work you guys do. Always a joy to read the new reviews.

I don't have enough to get the 17-40mm So is this thing Worth it? How is the Sharpness and Color Fringing? I know a lot of people have down this lens especially in the Sharpness & Contrast Department but i need a wide Angle Lens so i'm going to try this one out for a Month. If I'm not satisfied, Than i can always Return it and get the 17-40mm if this lens doesn't hold up.

It's not going to be very wide on a crop camera to be perfectly honest. It's really meant for full frame bodies.

If 32mm (equivalent) is wide enough for you then it should be fine. I'm still perfectly happy with mine, but I use it on a 5DmkII.

However, in looking at your signature, a 17-40 isn't going to be really any wider than your 18-55mm. Depending on how wide you want to go, I think your needs would be better met by a Canon 10-22 or the Tokina 11-16.

Yeah i'm going to get the 17-40mm instead i think. i'm a very realistic person so 17mm is perfect for me especially on a Crop Sensor Body and i just can't deal with the 18-55mm Kit lens anymore. The Quality is so Bad compared to even my 55-250mm let alone the 50mm 1.4. Thanks for your input though.
