Mine is the 24-105L as well, but this 17-55 is sure giving it a run for its money

The 24-105L is no 24-70, that's all I've got to say. It's a fine lens indeed, and treasured by many. However, it just didn't cut it for me. No experience with the 17-55, but mostly because I don't use my 1.6x anymore, and when I do, it's either for length or for the 35L.

The 24-70L is no 24-105L either, very blanket statement indeed. Oh, and I actually own and use both. They are great for different reasons. But if I had to take one lens with me, it would be the 24-105L, not the 24-70L. More versatile

24-105mm IS L has been my default for 95% of shots I've taken the last 4 months, but now I am using the 17-40mm L. I think the IS L is a better all around lens, stunning really, but the widey covers the range I need for walkaround and will be an effective 3 lens solution with my Bigma and 35mm when I head to Africa next year.

No, I decided it wasn't really what I wanted even tho' the price was very good and made think it was worth trying again. I'd prefer another Bigma.

Yeah, you know as nice as it was to be able to handhold the 100-400 on those nice days, I used it on a tripod quite a fair amount. I should think, assuming the IQ is similar, it would be a pretty nice advantage to have that extra 100mm, and essentially the same aperture, as long as you're mounting it anyway. I wish the Bigma didn't have issues on the 5D. I often think I'd enjoy one. Now..I'd really like the Sigmonster, but at 5-7/8 times the price(DG or non-DG), I don't think so.
