Re: Buying new lens 17-40 or else?

I had a Canon 5DII with a 17-40mm L lens which got stolen In Spain on a recent overseas trip. This was a brilliant combination ideal for all the shots you want to do. Because I had a back-up 7D at home I tried to match the results with a 10-22mm Canon lens which I bought on ebay. Although good, just not the same. So I thought about adding a new 17-40mm to my 7D but all the reviews and youtube vids said no! From what I've read, I think the consensus is to add the EF-S 17-55mm F2.8IS which is ideally suited to a crop-frame camera.

cheers,

peter
