Well after selling the 50D and the 11-16 I've had the hankering for a wide angle lens.

I know the choice isn't vast but the two I'm leaning towards are the Canon 17-40 and the Tamron 17-35.

For the bucks the Tamron seems great value and the 2.8 is a bonus.

Has anybody used the Tamron are what are your general thoughts.
