After 5 years with my 40D I have concluded I need to move on from the 17-85 IS USM kit lens. Its' lack of sharpness has been frustrating me for sometime. I think I am already sold on the 70-200 L IS 4.0, but I'd also need a general use lens. I'm thinking a wide to low telephoto zoom similar in focal length to what I have now.
What would you recommend?
15-85 IS USM, 17-55 IS USM, 24-70 L IS?? $1000?
