Just ordered the 24-70mm....

It's on (the right way) even when I store the camera with the lens attached in my backback!

Interesting. I was just thinking of buying this combo. I'm definitely getting the 24-70 but I haven't figured out what I want from my wide angle lense. It's either:

17-40 L
16-35 L
10-22

The thing that I thought I'd like about the 17-40 is that I can have it on my camera and treat it as a walkaround lense if necessary. The problem with the 10-22 is that it is only for wide stuff. I feel like I'd be changing lenses every half hour.

Do people who own the 17-40 and the 24-70 find them too redundant? Too much overlap?
