Re: Lens 'overlap'

I didn't read the other replies, but I have 40D & 7D and use 17-55 80% of the time. I have an old 5D1 that I do not use and just bought 6D so I can use my 24-105 and I also have 17-40 and Sigma 12-24. If money is tight you may want to go with the 12-24 rather than 17-40 if you're going to get 24-105. When I used the 5D, I only changed to 17-40 when I needed wider than 24mm.

Also, I'm not familiar with optics of 70-300 you mentioned, but you may want to consider 70-200L f4 IS or 100-400L.

Remember that with Canon crop 18mm = 27mm with FF, so you'll be gaining a good bit with 17-40 or 12-24.

Remember that none of Canon's FF's have built in flash.

Happy shooting.
