So, when you sold your 17-50, what did you upgrade to?  Just curious.

I went from Sigma 18-50 f2.8 ex dc macro to Sigma 17-50 f2.8 OS HSM to a 5Dmk3 + 24-105 f4 L IS USM.  To be honest thus far the L lens isn't all that impressive.  I have to MFA it though.

I actually have the Canon 17-55 f2.8 and the Canon 24-70 f/2.8 coming for a 10 day rental.  I figure even though I won't be investing in the 24-70 based on this forum feedback, I might as well give it a try and see how it does.

Sure, I was lucky enough to find a way to expense the rental.  

Sort of like taking a (insert your favorite expensive car make here) out for a test drive when you know you can't afford to buy it!

Still a fun experience.
