I haven't used my 17-40/4 on a digital camera since I got the 17-55. (It still makes a great super wide angle on my old film camera.) The 17-55 is just a more useable lens. If I was buying again I would save and get the 17-55 before I got another 17-40.

Oct 05, 2006 03:08 | #34 I regretted my descision not to buy the 17-40, when I had a 350D, the moment I upgraded to a 5D! A good choice the 17-40, you won't regret it - just don't pay the full price at Jessops !! http://natureimmortal.blogspot.com

Oct 05, 2006 06:30 | #38 Probably a bit late but it's pointless listening to anyone's advice. Buying lenses is a game of luck because you might get a bad copy or an exceptionally good one. Photos from my travels

Oct 05, 2006 06:34 | #39 curiousgeorge: I am aware of that but it's not the only reason people disagree and from what I here it is less likely you will get a bad copy of an L than third party Technical perfection is only ever important if it improves the asthetic. It is not the precursor to beauty. Not in art..not in music and not in photography!
