A 7D with a 17-85 lens at 17mm or a 5DII with a 24-70 lens at 24mm?

When using the 7D, multiply by 1.6. So that 17mm lens on a 7D has the same field of view as a 27.2mm lens on a 5D.

Yes, that's why I had it on a 7D in my question. Or did I miss something...?

When you put it that way, it's seems so clear. I'm an idiot for not thinking of it that way...:o:o:o

What you need for the 24mm equivalent is a 15mm

Being EF-s doesn't change its focal length. You'd get exactly the same result putting a 17mm non-EF-s lens on a 7D

Which makes the newer EF-S 15-85mm a great focal range for a crop body. I'd love one, but cannot bring myself to give up my EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8, and cannot justify owning both lenses.
