Re: Lens Advice: 2 Mid-Level Primes or 1 L-Series Wide Angle Zoom

Will the image from the EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM be that much better then my kit lens (EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS)? Also, can you explain better why the EF 17-40mm f/4L USM would not be good for cropped. i thought it would give a good range for 1.6 like a 28-60. Are you saying I would want something that allows for a wider picture? You mention that it is not a crop lens, what specifies that it is not. This will be my first lens purchase, and I cant afford to choose incorectly.

Will the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM offer that much better of a picture then my kit lens? If so, i will just need to save up some more cash and go this route. Would I want to keep my kit lense with this? I cant afford the 10-22 and 17-55 now.
