Re: Buying new lens - 17-40,17-55,24-105?

I've owned all 4 that are mentioned at one time or another on a 7D and found that the 24-105 was the most useful. Since you've got the ultra wide end covered with the 10-22, I'd sell the 18-55 and go for the 24-105. It's broad focal range and constant f/4 make it a very useful walk around lens. You can find them brand new from sellers splitting up kits for around $600 like new on FM http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1269587/0?keyword=24-105#12093396

If you really need the large aperture in a limited range then the 17-55 is appealing.......
