When I bought my 5DII last week....
Didn't realize how much wider my 24-70 is on full frame, but after playing around with it on the 5DII it's really like getting another lens for free!

Wait until you REALLY pop an UWA on there. You will Find an excuse to need it. I LOVE my 17-35. Anderson

My 24-70 lives on my 5DII.

Heh! Yeah, the 24-70 truly gets and gives a new life to the 5D! 'Course, the wide field of view on the 5D is the same as the 17-85 on the 7D, but the 24-70 is a solid, special "fit" for the 5D. Tony

msowsun "approx 8mm"  More info | Feb 04, 2011 07:01 | #9 I agreer with you. 24mm is plenty wide. My 15-85mm is equivalent to 24mm and I hardly ever use my 11-6mm now. An ultra wide-angle lens is a lens whose focal length is shorter than the short side of film or sensor.[citation needed] Thus the term denotes a different range of lenses, relative to the size of the sensor in the camera in question. For APS-C any lens shorter than 15 mm is considered ultra wide angle. For 35 mm film or full-frame sensor any lens shorter than 24 mm For 6x45 any lens shorter than 41 mm For 6x6 and 6x7 any lens shorter than 56 mm Mike Sowsun / SL1 / 80D / EF-S 24mm STM / EF-S 10-18mm STM / EF-S 18-55mm STM / EF-S 15-85mm USM / EF-S 55-250mm STM / 5D3 / Samyang 14mm 2.8 / EF 40mm 2.8 STM / EF 50mm 1.4 USM / EF 100mm 2.0 USM / EF 100mm 2.8 USM Macro / EF 24-105mm IS / EF 70-200mm 2.8L IS Mk II / EF 100-400 II / EF 1.4x II

Just wait until you figure out how much field curvature it has on the wide end.
