Hi - why don't you just buy the ultra cheap EF-S 24 2.8 pancake lens for your 400D? You won't get any real image quality advantage on the 400D with the much more expensive EF 24 2.8 IS other than it having IS. The pancake is cheap enough not to worry about the fact that it is APS-C only, and you can easily sell it. If you upgrade to FF you could always get the similar EF 40mm pancake or as someone else sugggested the EF 35mm f2 IS.

Hi Alan

You've got something there. Since i will be using a FF in the coming month or two, I will want to have the 24mm handy for both bodies, thus i am opting for the 24mm.

The "sell later" aspect is not that attractive for me, I prefer to buy and keep. When selling equipment you loose money, no matter what you do.
