Could..not...resist

It was time to upgrade. So today I went to photo heaven - aka B&H - and bought this one:

now, that feels much better on my rebel xt than the kit lens. I feel like a pro....

This is going to be a picture perfect weekend.

The 17-40 is one of my favorite canon lenses, I like it much better then their 17-55 IS.

Why? Build quality?

 

[Puscas]

yeah, I'm curious too. I didn't try the 17-55 btw, I wanted this one because of quality and I considered it a better investment.

Handling and full frame, especially the handling, it feels good.

wow good for you! I am trying to get an used one for around 750 US dollars since a new one here cost more than 1100

ah ok, makes sense. I was going to be surprised if it was because of sharpness issues.
