That's an awesome reply, thank you so much.
I checked and the 17-55mm f2.8 IS costs £659.00. It's a fair bit of cash as the 17-40mm f4.0 L is £499. But you get an extra 10mm of zoom and having f2.8 really makes it appeal to me.
Relatively speaking though, the 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS when purchased with the 40D only works out at £230, which is a £100 saving (or £170 compared to Jessops price). I'm not sure if I could justify more money on a lens with much less zoom, despite the extra aperture (the f/2.8 does sound wicked).
What do you think, the extra money worth it? Which then brings me onto the next question, if not, do you think the 17-40 f4 L is worth the extra money over a standard lens? I was certainly impressed with the L series 70-200 but sure if I should spend the extra cash just for a normal lens.
Thanks again for your help, SLR's are a minefield!
