What's this about the 17-40?

What there's a replacement? I don't see the need for it with the 16-35 except the price difference.

ok thanks guys. I am going to keep my 20D and get a 1dino. Then I can use my 20D for ISO 1600 and 3200 with my 50mm 1.4 and my 1Dino with my 17-55 1.8 IS and flash at ISO 200 or 400.

Then when I get enough money I will upgrade to the MK II N and an L lens.

What's this about the 17-40?

One guy who's so fond of the 17-55 he wants to use it on his (hypothetical) 1D, among other things. He says he's converted the 17-55 before. Must not have looked at the corners on his shots . . . thinks it'll be good on the 5D as well.

no replacement (except for the 17-55 ef-s lens), other than the new 16-35 II.

I hope he doesn't care about the mirror being jammed into the back of the lens...even with Yoda's "converted" lens (can't remember which one he converted) it jammed his 5D's mirror...

with the optics of the 17-40 and the 16-35, I just can't see a need to convert the 17-55 (which I'm not a fan of anyway)...

I've always considered vignetting such a lovely word.

Is it French?


I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

ORIGIN late Middle English (sense 2 ; also as an architectural term denoting a carved representation of a vine): from French, diminutive of vigne ‘vine.’

My goal in life is to never have to take a step forwards or backwards. Just plop me down in a lawn chair with all my lenses, and I'll have the perfect lens for the focal length I need at the moment.

I'm getting close.
