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.

Just in case of any confusion the 24 2.8 pancake lens I mentioned is EF-S mount and cannot be used on FF. The 24 2.8 IS lens is EF mount and can be used on either FF or your 400D.

I find 24mm too wide for general street use on FF. It is wider than you get with your 17-40 on the 400D.

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the clarification, that's the reason why either pancake lenses were on the list  - one is too long for street (my style) and the other is limited to crop only sensors.

Thank you for the support, it helped me select - I will go for the 24 f/2.8 lens.
