Re: Looking for a wide angle prime lens to replace 17-55mm f/2.8

35 f/2 IS seems like the best fit to me.  It's really nice as a general purpose lens, good bokeh, has IS and is reasonably fast.

Might not be quite wide enough for some situations, so augment with a 24 f/2.8 STM. OK, that's an EF-S lens, but it is not very expensive.

I had the 24 stm, 50 stm and then later added the 35 IS.  The gap between 24 and 50 was too much for me and the 35 is now on my camera most of the time.
