Why not just keep the 17-55 and save up for a 24-70 for the 5D3?

I think that's what I will do :-)

If you don't mind f/4, you can do the 17-40 f/4 instead of the 16-35 + 40.

If canon had a 24-70 with IS I'd probably have bought that, but they don't for some reason.

But Canon DO have a 24-70 with IS at f/4. It's a bit cheaper than the f/2.8 but's also much lighter and shorter - if that matters to you!

If you are gonna buy a 24-70 f4 why not just buy the 24-105???

Well anyway... I got a 2nd hand 16-35mm 2.8mk2 today for an amazing 600 uk pounds, and WOW is this thing wide and impressive on my 5D. I also think I can sell my 17-55 crop and use the 16-35mm on my 60D as a replacement :-)
