Best Value! Easy to use not loads of button all over it! However sometimes i wish it was a bit closer to 70mm!

I haven't used my 17-40/4 since I got my 17-55/2.8 IS EF-S. The 17-55 is just a much more useable lens and optical quality is as good or better.

Unfortunately, the 17-55 won't fit on your 10D, but the 17-40 may not be that desirable long term if you upgrade your camera to a 20D, 30D or whatever comes next in that series.

Picked up mine (17-40L) refurbished from Adorama and saved over $100. Looked brand spanking new too. Works just as great.

Good choice as its a very fine lens and price wise probably best of the bunch in this range.
