So, I've ordered a mk2 and have been using a 40D. I use the 10-22 and the Tamron 17-50 2.8. For a lot of my landscape stuff I use the 10-22, but I also use the 17-50 quite a bit for when 22 is too wide. I'm going to give the Tamron to my wife for her xti and sell the 10-22, but I need a good replacement that kind of fits the bill for both the 10-22 and the Tamron. It looks to me like the 17-40 is a popular landscape lens. Anyone have any comments on it good or bad? I have a 50mm 1.4 to fill the gap between the 17-40 and my 70-200. It seems like the perfect lens and at a great price.
I was also looking at the tilt shift 24mm but it doesn't seem like they would be useful enough for me to pay that much for (>$1200). Anyone use them much?
Thanks for any input to help me with my decision. I'm pretty settled on the 17-40 but I'm wondering if anyone would try to talk me into something else, or even a wide prime.
