Canon asleep at the wheel on EF-S lens designs

Canon definitely set the hook! I just ordered the 17-40 F4 L to fill
in the wide end of my lens collection in advance.

I feel just about the same way. This new 5DII sounds amazing. 21 MP
would give me good pixel density for macro work but with the
potential for amazingly high-resolution shooting in situations where
I can fill the frame.

And for me too, I'd also need a super-wide solution. And with the
16-35 being so expensive, I'd probably be ordering a 17-40 right
along with the 5D body. I love the 10-22 on the 1.6X bodies, so I'd
be really disappointed to lose that wide end. on FF. So I'm right
with you there, too.

Then I'd want a "normal" or "walk around" lens, too. So the 24-105
would probably be calling out to me. And that would answer my
current objection with Canon not offering a 15-XX lens for the 1.6X
systems. 24mm on FF is a very nice wide end. The 17mm that we get
on the 1.6X offerings is not quite wide enough for me a lot of times,
forcing a lens swap.
