Thanks useful information: 0
Ill start by saying that I hate when a thread starts by specifying the brand/level of lens wanted yet the use isnt the main feature of the purchase. I have used both the lenses you want, and the 17-40, and 24-70 on crop and full frame. I dislike all of them on crop. They are either way to long or have too short a range. If i was buying for crop there is no way I wouldnt buy the 17-55/2.8 IS. Good focal length rated by lots of people to be better than the two other Ls. Plus 2.8 and IS.
i own both the 17-40 and the 24-104 for a fair while... both good lenses.
I think I see more amazing photos coming from the 16-35 than these though.
I wold get one but i already to too many WA's

Canon 17-40L from the US, and a Canon 70-200/4L, and get a monopod if you need one.
Why compromise? :-)

I highly recommend the 24-105mm. I have it on my 40D and took it to Europe. It was brilliant next to 10-22mm. The 24-105mm is crazy sharp even at F4. The 24-105mm is definitely not wasted on a crop body.

My first (and currently only) L lens was the 70-200mm f4L. It's a beautiful lens, but I think first you should work out exactly what you want it for and then come up with a list of lenses that would suit the purpose. I was planning to get a 17-40mm f4L lens a couple of months back, but ended up going for the 10-22mm at the last moment after doing some reading online. Decided the UWA was a better option than the 17-40 as I won't be upgrading to full-frame for some time...unless I win the lotto.
The 10-22mm is a fun lens.
Last week I added a 5d classic to my list of gear, and while I didn't mind the 24-105 on my 7d, and still don't,But this lens is definitley more versitile on the 5d, so now I've decided to sell the 10-20 and get a 17-40 as this will give me UWA on the 5d and wide angle on the 7d.
I now see why people love full frame.

Honest CC whether good or bad, is much appreciated.
