Hello All,

I am currently looking to upgrade my lens Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM to either:

- Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM

- Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM

- Canon EF 17-40mm f/4.0L USM

Will be using this lens for Landscape and Night Photography, well basically anytime I go out of town, I shall carry this lens. Currently I try to learn more into Night Photography.

I did try those three lenses and must say, am getting really confused as am happy with all the results. Therefore I would appreciate your advices.

Oh by the way, that EF-S 10-22 was sold last week as I need to add my budget for this upgrade.

Thank you and awaiting feedback.

It depends on whether you prefer more reach rather than getting a bit wider. If wider than save money and buy 17-40mm f4.0 as for landscapes DOF is a requirement so narrow aperture won't feel like a limitation. 24-70mm is a usual walk around lens giving you an option of shooting some portraits also owing to its reach and wider aperture.
