Re: Considering a 17-40L....questions!

i don't know about using 17-40mm f4.0 for portrait on a FF camera, using 24-105mm f4.0L for this purpose would be much better. i strictly use my 17-40mm f4.0 with my 40D on my trips overseas and they work wonderfully for me together. for portrait, i'd get the ef 85mm f1.8 for a very reasonable price. 85mm 1.8 has a very quick and accurate focus and a nice bokeh. so, for portrait, you have many other reasonable choices. 17-40 f4.0 makes a very good walk around lens in the cities. it has a very sharp center and i like its micro contrast, which is a typical "L" lens trait. hope this helps.

cheerz.
