canon 17-40mm or 17-55mm Hi everyone! I'm so confused. Im planning to sell my 17-40mm coz I feel it is a bit too wide. I'm considering 17-55mm as a replacement. I have read good reviews about the 17-55mm. is it worth the price? or i'll just keep my 17-40 and save up for the much more expensive 10-22mm and 24-70mm. someday. maybe hehehe Thank you in advance!

Manjo, I am confused by your question. You want to get rid of the 17-40mm because it is too wide, but want to replace it with a 17-55mm? Are you saying you want a bit more zoom than the 17-40mm offers? The 17-55mm is a good lens, but it will only fit the APS-C sensor cameras, so if you ever get a full frame sensor, or a Mark III which is a 1.3 sensor, it will not work. http://www.photozone.de/8Reviews/lenses/canon_1755_28/index.htm The 17-40mm is also a good lens, and it carries the L branding if that means anything to you ;-) http://www.photozone.de/8Reviews/lenses/canon_1740_4/index.htm I would say unless you truly need the extra reach, or the IS is important to you, that there really isn't any reason to change lenses. Maybe somebody else will have a different opinion! ;-)

My 17-40mm is one of my best lenses. The image quality is outstanding. Try out the link below. I setup a comparison between the 17-40 and the 17-55. It looks like the 17-40 is a slighlty sharper lens. If you want some more reach my vote would go for the Canon 24-105mm f/4.0 L IS. You already have an L class lens. I don't see you necessarily being satisfied with anything less. If price is a concern Sigma has introduced some very affordable lenses that give the Canon L's some competition. http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.phpx?FLI=0&API=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=0&Lens=100&Camera=9&LensComp=398 The other question of course is if the 17-40 is too wide why would you save up for a 10-22 which is even wider?

@ david and suzanne Thank you for the reply. 17-40 is a bit short for me. I always take a few steps forward after 40mm. as for the 24-105 its a bit long for me as it would over lap my 70-200 already and I would loose my 17mm wide angle. I dont have a plan in going full frame so efs lenses are ok for me. I'll just wait if someone will buy my 17-40 with a good price then I think ill have the 17-55mmm. Thanks again!
