I am looking at renting the EF 17-40L. It's actually a lens that I want to own, so it will be a good test of the lens. I am curious on how the 17-40L compares to the EF-S 10-22 in terms of colour, and sharpness.
Thanks!

I just got back from a long-weekend road trip with Girl. We went Jasper/Banff and back over the 4 days. I went with my 17-50 Tammy and 70-400 f4L. Girl used the XS and kit lens for most of her shots (some shots taken with my Tammy). 17mm is wide enough for most landscape, in the rockies, I found. 10-22 would be overkill, especially since you can take some nice panos anyway. I did find the 70-200 came in really handy for wildlife, though.
