Haven't got either lens but, Hey! :(

Martcol ... you don't need to have any lenses to become a 'Top Contributor' here. Just look at me! :wink:

Now, as you're also in that category, I suggest you read up on the basics ... try that thread: https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=27022

And, above all, have fun :lol:

Best regards,
Andy

I shoot it mostly outdoor, but won't need the 70-200 f/4 to go with it, as I already got a 70-200 2.8. But a 550EX and a monopod might follow instead :) Still haven't decided on them yet though, and still have some time before next paycheck will be in.

The consensus seems to be that the 17-40mm looses NOTHING in quality vs> the 16-35mm... many feel it does better. I personally find that my 17-40mm does everything that the 16-35mm does.. except open up to f/2.8

Couldn't agree with you more CDS. All the research I read showed the 17-40 was pretty much on equal par with the 16-35 except for price and f2.8. Once I got the lens it was proved true. Very, very nice lens.
