i'm thinking of going with a full frame body in the future, hence why i purchased the 24-70 in the meantime over the 17-55 EFS lens.

seems like a lot of people are happy with the Canon so i feel it's a safe bet. however, an IS version is probably going to hit the markets in the near future i'm thinking as well, but that should bring the price up quite a bit as well (add another 400bux?).

What do you think of Leica lenses? their image quality looks great from the sample pics i've seen so far.
Leica and Zeiss lenses are on an entirely different level from Canon/Nikon/non-Zeiss Sony. Contrast, colour, sharpness, resolution & detail rendition are miles ahead. There's a reason why my Leica 35mm f1.4 cost $4500 vs. the Canon 35mm f1.4, which only costs $1500.
