Re: Canon 17-85mm f4-5.6 - Sell or get a new lens ?

A used 15-85mm may be a good option for you...

The 15-85mm would seem to fit due to it's focal length, but it's lacking the quietness and quickness from the auto focus. Coming from a USM lens, this can be quiet bothering to me.

Another priority I forgot to mention when I was listing out what I need in a lens, is it's resale value. I really wouldn't prefer a good lens with a horrible resale value (As I plan to be able to sell the lens if I want to upgrade in the future).

I thinking of getting the Sigma 17-70mm or the Canon 17-40mm L as I heard great things about them. I'm not completely sure about the resale value of these lens, so does anyone happen to know ?
