Atomic79 Member  214 posts Likes: 1 Joined Oct 2005 Location: Santa Clarita, CA USA More info | May 08, 2006 11:30 | #1 Well I bought my first 'L' 17-40f/4 over the weekend. A couple of local stores were running no tax sales and they are still under Canon rebate. I'd had that and the 70-200f/4 'L' on my wish list for a while. Decided I'd get more use of the wide than the tele. No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen. Minor White

While I'm very impressed with the L I won't be ruling out third party alternatives in the future. The build quality is superb and IQ is stellar, but there seems to be some budget alternatives from Sigma and Tamron that rival L's for much less money. I'm sure the cheaper alternatives don't feel as darn good as the L's though...
