I have a Sigma 10-20 that I've been using since 2007. A nice lens that I use for city photography and landscape shots. It's a lens I use on my 7D (that I still own).
This year I bought a 5DMKIII body (very nice). My widest lens on that body is a 24-105L (which I really like).
Now I have the opportunity to buy a Canon 17-40 lens in almost new condition for €450,-.
I prefer the image output of my 5DMKIII compared to the 7D. The 17-40 doesn't have the best reviews (soft corners).
I'm going on a trip to Peru, Bolivia and New York in about a month and I'm not sure what to do. Sell the Sigma 10-20 and get the 17-40 or simply keep the Sigma on my 7D (I do have to take 2 bodies on that trip besides other lenses).
Any advice?

I was a bit worried about the 17-40 reviews when I went from 550d/10-22 to 5d3. I couldn't justify the extra for the 16-35 and must say Im very happy with the 17-40.
5d3 & 17-40 set
" I only intend to bring the 5DMKIII and 4 lenses (17-40, 24-105, 70-200F4IS and 135F2) to Peru and Bolivia (and NY). We will be backpacking and and I don't want to bring too much bulk (1 body and 4 lenses is doable for me). "
Ive got the same combo apart from the 135 and I seldomly use the 24-105 when Im away. My normal 2 kit lens is the 17-40 & 70-200 and I certainly don't miss the lack of 40-70mm range.
