Re: 24-70L vs 24-105L vs 17-55

be carefull with the 17-55, they have a habit of breaking

24-70 (AKA the brick) is ok if you get a decent copy, you can buy a duff one that back focuses (yes Canon's QC isn't 1st class, even on L grade glass) (if your gonna buy this, get it now so you have time to get it fixed if its dodgy)

wedding - stay clear of F4's you'll find youself in a dark dingy church cursing that you didn't pic up a 2.8..

and stretch that little extra for a 580EX

have you looked at 3rd party glass? Tamrons 17-50mm is very nice

thats just my 2p's worth
