17-40L &5D owners

Hi,

I was wondering whether 5d owners who own the 17-40L could help me out.
I am after photographs taken with the 17-40 on a 5d, i basically want to see what this lens can do on a FF sensor- Mk1 owners can post but i cant afford that camera- hence 5d owners
Anyway i have seen pictures of what the 10-22 is capable of but, i was perhaps thinking that instead of investing in an efs lens maybe that money could be put toward a 5d- i already have a 17-40L and i am curious to see how it performs in the focal range it was designed to shoot in.
Anything focal length less than 24mm would be great thanks.

I up graded to a 5 D a few weeks back, (from a 10D) havent given it a really good testing yet but have taken a few shots with the 17-40 and have been very impresed nice to be able to use lenses as they have been intended again. Haven't uploaded any photos before, but will see if I can sort some out to put up if no one else does or provide links to sites sure someone will.

This is a shot I took a month ago. I cannot remember at this point the mm I shot it at.

Frankly, I am moving to the 16-35 lens so I can shoot indoors better.

Treat me like a tourist,
I have been very happy with my 17-40L on my 5D
I used to use it on my 10D but when I upgraded I saw (for the first time) what true Ultra Wide angle shots were
Here are just a some of the many shots I have gotten with my 5D and 17-40L at 17mm (no crops)

thanks John, you understood what i was getting at. Its a great lens on my 20d but it just doesnt cut it as a wide angle, i am tempted by the 10-22 but i am curious about L quality wide angle. as i already hav a wide angle lens i am wondering whether to just wait a little longer and get a FF body camera. Do you have problems with colour rendition on your photographs, that is the only bad thing that i have read about the 5d on this forum.
Many thanks, A.

Here is the first one I took with my new 17-40

Dick Banks, where did you take that picture? It's beautiful.

Hi Suzei!
I took this picture from Upper Tipsoo Lake on Chinook Pass In Washington.I have been wanting to post it for about a month now and finally got up the nerve.Thank you very much for you'r kind words.

Beautiful picture, Dick. Thank you for getting up the nerve to post it. I own the 5D, but I don't have the wide angle lens. I'm pretty sure I'm going to pick up the 16-35 2.8 in the next few months. Having a FF and not taking advantage of the wide angle capabilities seems pointless to me! So, I better get on the ball. I see these lenses creating so many beautiful shots that I wish I had it now. Personally, I would stay away from the EF-S lenses. I have one now that I bought with my 20D over a year ago. The thing for me is that I eventually plan on getting rid of my 20 and hopefully get a 1DS...HOPEFULLY! If I can find a way to do this...late next year...all I'l have is full frame cameras. Then I'm really out of luck.
